Chapter 12: Black Dreams
Music: Make Room By  Casting Crowns

Main Verse: Ecclesiastes 5:7
For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is the one you must fear.

Dreams can be true or not. But not at all gives us understanding or it’s really happening, maybe it has meaning but why did we experience it? Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, emotions or some situations similar to our routine that happened during or after our sleep. Do you experience Black Dream? Black dreams represent a bad situation for you or something a nightmare that can't be explained. 

Sometimes it is the darkness or uncertainty in our life. I believe in dreaming colour, where when it is light colours it means more positive outcome or results while the opposite is dark, it means bad things can happen or we feel fear, anxiety, horror and envy. However, the best explanation of this is on a biblical basis. Dark dreams symbolise the unknown and fear. It also represents that you have problems in your personal life and spiritual blindness.

As I already surrender my life to the Lord, I always have a bad dream. Where most of the time, it’s so deep that I can totally imagine why that is my dream. I can see black with weird colors in the sky. There is a moment when God and Satan are there, they are talking and arguing—I can’t really understand the whole concept of my dreams.

Still, I am blessed that I am alive. There are times that I can’t wake up due to my nightmare. Nonetheless, all of it is not from Him. I was deceived by the enemy, he wants me to feel fear and worry as well. 

No one wants to have a black dream every single day, or any days in their lives. As a believer,  some dreams give us an opportunity to come closer to the Lord, or most of the time a warning that we need to level up our faith with Him.

Despite my dreams always leaving questions, I thought there might be a reason why God allowed it. Not because He wants me to be scared, but the enemy does to defeat me. But I understood better the good reason of black dreams, it is to have deep faith and get closer to God.

Also I believe in the scripture, it says therein the book of Numbers 12:6 ESV [6] And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. 

This scripture is talking to Moses, where he and the Lord are talking. In the old testament, they are near to the Lord and through dreams, the Lord gives vision through dreams to speak for Him.

From this, I know some dreams have a purpose in our lives. It can be good or not, but if we trust and ask God, He will answer and we can definitely understand everything.

Dreams help us to store the good memories and not the bad existence, and digest all the information out and feelings as well.

Dreams are a wide discussion, as my research dream in the bible is the source of  divine revelation, where it dictates or reveals to the person what she/ he will do. But nowadays, dreams are a lot to everyone, lies rise up and many voices say this or that. 

But in the end, only you can understand your dreams. Don't be deceived easily, don’t accept immediately, if you don’t know what to do, pray and ask God or read your Bible to have wisdom and understanding.

Like the two characters in the bible, Daniel and Joseph, they are interpreters. As we read it in the book of Genesis 41,Joseph interprets the Pharaoh’ dreams  as a warning for them. Joseph tells Pharaoh that these two dreams have the same message: God will soon bring seven plentiful years, followed by seven years of famine. More time passes, and Pharaoh's cupbearer finally remembers what Joseph did for him

Some of us have a gift to interpret what dreams are all about, but most moments, the answers are in our hands. The mystery and questions that can’t predict, are already happening or a conclusion for our future.

As I continue my journey, I am now aware that black dream is just part of our emotional darkness or diving to our subconscious. Black dreams often happen if we are stressed, worried or feel fear. 

Dreams are fascinating questions to maby people.It becomes a person gets stressed or emotional subsconscious. It can be strange and surreal. It might cause a lot to a person, but let’s open our eyes, wide our thoughts and control our inner emotions.

So dear, don’t panic. Dreams will not happen unless God has a purpose or a vision for you. Stay calm and don’t think too much.

Dreams might be confusing, but they lead us to be more aware and keep deeper to the Lord.
