Do dreams symbolize something?
When you have a dream at night, does it mean that something is likely going to happen that means that into the near future?
Answer by AquaGuy
No one can tell you what YOUR dream(s) mean because they are personnel to you. It is like asking someone what you’re feeling, and, unless they’re psychic, they are not going to know. The same goes for dreams. They are from your subconscious mind, no one else’s.
Answer by Rachel
I’m not sure just saying my opinion
Not every dream means something.
But they are “some” that actually do. Not everyone has the ability but it runs in my family.
Answer by michelle
Sometimes it can symbolize things because it is proven we can sense a little bit into our future. also sometimes you may have a dream and it happen to you years from now. it has happened to me alot its called dajavo ( dont know if i spelled it right though)
Answer by goosebumps
Probably. Dreams can show you a possible future and dreams can mix everything that had a lot of impact that day for you to give you a different perspective. Look at sites with dream dictionary to help you define each symbolism.

The dreams you see in the early morning may come true.Dreams at other times do not generally come true.2 out of 1000 dreams come true by coincidence.

sinful dreams?
do you think you should ask forgiveness for having a sinful dream and enjoying it (im not just asking about sexual dreams, i mean any sin, especially one you may be struggling with)
i didnt mean forgiveness for the dream itself… im talking about enjoying the dream and dwelling on it… thankyou for the responses so far… God bless 🙂
Answer by redeye.treefrog
That is a good question…never thought about it before.
So, if it were me, I would ask for forgiveness just to be on the safe side. Wouldn’t you?
Answer by John
I would say yes.
Cordially,
John
Answer by emwads
yes. enjoying it and dwelling on it is the sin. having the dream you can’t help. but yea i think so.
Answer by Mephistopheles
No you should enjoy it.
Answer by and the world keeps spinning…
You can’t help what you dream about. Sins are things that you DO that are wrong, not things you have no control over.

Yes I definitely believe that sometimes(not always) they do.
Sometimes dreams can hint at a future event, but most of the time, they don’t.
No because you’re in bed and you didn’t do a thing. I believe God gives you the freedom to think inside all you want. Sins are result of Actions. Dreams are not something you can control just like your brain.
The dream probably comes about because it’s your subconsious’s way of expressing what is repressed. That’s not just a Freudian theory, by the way. If you are overindulgent about it, then ask for forgiveness if you really feel guilty, but you can’t help the dream, and repressing it will just make the dreams recur more often, I would bet.
Go to your nearest food bank and sign up to volunteer for two hours a week. Your drifting dangerously close to the center of the universe.
If you feel guilty about it then you may want to ask for forgiveness. It may be the holy spirit convicting you. If you can’t control it then ask God to help you and he will. Remember God is merciful and loving.
No. You’re not responsible for your subconscious mind accept where it affects your conscious activity. It was your subconscious, not your consciousness, that commited the “Sin” and therefore it is your subconscious that should apologize.
I’m not entirely sure how you can get your subconsciousness to apologize though. Maybe that’s why you guys needed a jesus to absolve you from sin, because you couldn’t feasibly apologize.
If you are enjoying the sinful dream, you don’t seem ready to ask for forgiveness.
well if it is the only thing that keeps you safe at times or to get to sleep and does not hurt anyone physically I see no harm in that as long as you do not really act on it in person.
if that makes sence.
sometimes that is the only thing that one has to keep him or her sane.
I’M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION, BECAUSE I TOO USE TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. IS HOW I DEFEATED IT; WAS EVERY TIME I HAD A DREAM LIKE THAT I WOULD ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND THEN PRAY FOR EVEY ONE IN THAT DREAM. IF THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU ARE GOING TO PRAY FOR THEM, HE THEN WILL NOT WANT TO INVADE YOUR DREAMS ANYMORE CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT YOU WILL PRAY AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. TOO I MIGHT WOULD GO TO THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH AND HAVE THEM PRAY FOR YOU. I KNOW THIS WORKS BECAUSE I TOO HAVE DEFEATED THE DEVIL BOMBARDING MY DREAMS. I PRAY FOR YOU BECAUSE I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, AND WHERE YOU R COMING FROM.
if there are any doubts asking forgiveness never hurts and is always given
God help the poor guy who gets hooked up with you.
Not much fun in you is there?
a person cannot help what they dream about, whether it is good or bad. when we have bad dreams we wake up frighten vice versa for good dreams, the Bible tells us to guard our mind of evil thinking but it didn’t say we can control what we dream, sometimes God deal with us in dreams and visions, but satan can also get into our dreams called nightmares, but if you have a dream and it make you feel guilty because of it, then by all means ask God to forgive you. He is a forgiving God!
Dreams are a subconscience reflection of your conscience worries and desires,and brain warps on senseless stupid ones.When you dwell on a desire, you are apt to dream about it.
I dont think you should have to ask for forgiveness, remember its just a dream and not done in real life. You have no control over your dreams.
No because you have no control…
you cannot sin of the unconscious mine. Unless you are purposely during it though Lucid Dreaming.
Interpret Your Dreams on this site all the meanings without having to look them up never mind the…Title…of the web-site. http://www.freakydreams.com/ because Good Dreams also can be Interpreted.
Dreaming is a place of possibility and creation, a land of futures that might come and pasts that never were. It is also a land of nightmares.
It constantly changes as people fall asleep and shape parts of it, then wake up and their dreams dissolve back into mist. A dreams dictionary always helps ( for other descriptions needed ). http://myjellybean.com/dream/pagey.html
Did you know you can make yourself dream anything its called…Lucid Dreaming which this site will explains along with some other questions about dreaming. http://www.dreams.ca/
Yes, indeed, dreams are mind of yours, if your subconscious mind has shown some dirty stuff. Yes ask for forgiveness. That mind is yours, that is how you are subcosnciously. Let’s say you dream of killing people, you have sin of anger, murder
Hi, you dont have to ask for forgivness for you are not acting on your thoughts. Thoughts are just that, and if you get a certain pleasure out of it let it be so and do not be ashamed of it, for only in our thoughts do we truely have free will. Dont let religion controll every aspect of you for that was the goal from the beginning. Oppression is what is happening here but dont fall victim. There might be a gun held to your head called hell, but it will only shoot it you act out. Your thought are yours to treasure, for if thoughts are to be judged we are all going to hell, because the truth of why we act a certain way will be known, like not going to an ungly place with fire for the rest of eternity.
I hope i have not offended you 😛
we cannot control what we dream about , and of course the devil does torment us in our sleep
so i don’t think its a sin that we have bad (sinful)
dream only if we dwell on it and let the sin occupy
our mind
“SIN” is a christian concept.
The only “sin” – to talk your language – would be to kill. Dreaming is beautiful and natural and “sinless”.
I think you should ask yourself why you enjoyed it. What about the sinful act was enjoyable? Ex. Killing someone Did you enjoy the power? Why is power so enjoyable? IF you think about why you enjoyed the sinful act, it may give you a path as to why you also feel guilt. IF you feel guilt, then you didn’t truly enjoy it. Alot of sins have to do with power. Sex can be about power. Do you feel in control of your life? Do you feel loved by those around you?
i don’t think anyone dreaming it on purpose,i feel that no one has the ability to dream what they want while asleep.but i guess if that person feels bad about it i guess you could if it interferes with your life.
my friend who was a fundy christian used to tell me that if you have to even question it, than it probably was a bad thing.
i didn’t always agree with her but that was the best answer she gave me.
i’d say that dreams are dreams and is just a way for our minds to be set free. if you feel bad about it, just ask for forgiveness and be given the strength to overcome whatever struggle you may have but certainly don’t feel terribly bad about it… you can’t control your dreams
We’re all sinners,no one is perfect,we all fall short and are only human.God knows this and sent is son to wash away our sins,youll be fine.Sweet Dreams,Sweetie
A true individual in which is the child of God Almighty should repent asking for forgiveness
Nobody’s perfect in this world we all makes mistake that’s why we need to ask forgiveness every now and then.
Look, why should you ask for forgiveness for something you cannot control? Your dreams are coming from your subconscience, which is a part of your brain that you cannot control, just like the beating of your heart, or can you stop it? No, you can’t, and you can’t keep the repressed thoughts which are stocked in your subconscience from popping up in your dreams. It’s as easy as that.
Try to get some stuff about the psychology of dreams… heck
Seriously… where are you from? I mean you do live in a developed country, otherwise you would’nt be posting questions on yahho answers, no? You can’t be possibly serious. You are making fools of us, right??
If you enjoyed the dream in your waking hours, then yes. Dwelling on sin will only cause the sin to spread, but don’t just ask forgiveness. Repent, and get the nasty business behind you (oh, how I wish it were that easy!) Repent, and FORGET about it. 🙂
Hi,
Looks to me like you have some really good answers all ready.
Thinking about it is ok, but don’t dwell on it. We don’t have any control over our dreams, if we did I would dream about having Starbucks with Jesus.
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time; Thou shalt not commit adultery: 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mark 7;20-23 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; All these evil things come from within, and defileth the man.
Either make the tree good and it’s fruit good or make it evil. A good tree cannot bear evil fruit nor a corrupt tree bear good fruit.
Go on a fast and during that fast ask God to forgive you, your parents and fore-parents –both sides of your family of as many sins that you can remember. Even ask God to forgive you of all sins known and unknown, intentional and unintentional–even those that were conceived but not executed and then say out loud; I RENOUNCE SATAN AND ALL OF HIS WORKS, TEMPTATIONS, ANCESTRAL AND GENERATIONAL CURSES–AND THEN ASK JESHUA TO DO WHAT HE DID WHEN HE WENT INTO JERUSALEM–HE DROVE OUT EVERYTHING NOT OF GOD–OUT OF GOD’S HOUSE. ASK GOD TO PURGE YOU ENTIRELY AND TO SET YOU FREE.
That will end the matter. The sin was one that beset one of your parents before and it was trying to hatch into your system as a generational curse.
Boaz.
religion is dumb, there’s no heaven or hell, youre just gonna die someday like everyone else
yes i believe so
Yes. Remember this is a spiritual battle for your mind. Renew your mind through the scriptures. If you are not reading the Bible then how can you renew your mind. Stay in the Word it is your only weapon of offense. It is the sword of the spirit.
That’s ridiculous. fear is only fear itself. I have sinful dreams all the time. In fact I planned a robbery and made it look like an inside job and got away with it 20 years ago. Hows that for sinful action and I netted $ 20,000.00 on that pitch!
I would say yes, but we will all burn in Hell until Jesus second coming, so don’t worry too much, pray and look forward.
