"In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed such dreams that his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him."(Daniel 2:1)
All of us dream. It is an integral part sleeping. We also day dream which is really just thinking.
There are times that I can recall dreams and still remember the gist of them. The one that I know has repeated itself often involves going back to High School and trying to wrestle again. I don't go back as a teenager but as an adult. I don't know that the dream is a forewarning of something, I doubt it. Probably more of a trying to come to grips with what could have been but will never be.
I certainly have had dreams that had me so worked up, that while I don't recall the details, I do remember either screaming in my dream to wake up, or just a voice reassuring me that it wasn't real during the dream itself.
Sometimes I've considered keeping a pad nearby so that when I wake up, I could write down what I was dreaming. To date this has stayed as a day dream.
I am thankful that most of my dreams do not disturb me. And that I rarely feel like they contain any prophesy for me.
I do know that I prefer the day time dreaming. Now if only I could muster the courage to follow through on those dreams.
Blessings,
Ed

Having learned the practice of remembering night dreams to recount them to a therapist, I have come to seriously respect the work of my night time brain, and suspect the intrusion of other messengers. I have less success interpreting my own dreams by myself, than working with someone trained in interpretation.
