Christian dream interpretation?

Answer  
  

GotQuestions.org is not a Christian dream interpretation service. We do not interpret dreams. We strongly believe that a person’s dreams and the meaning of those dreams are between the person and God alone. In the past, God spoke to people sometimes in dreams. Examples are Joseph, son of Jacob (Genesis 37:5–10\); Joseph, the husband of Mary (Matthew 2:12–22\); Solomon (1 Kings 3:5–15\); and several others (Daniel 2:1; 7:1; Matthew 27:19\). There is also a prophecy of the prophet Joel (Joel 2:28\), quoted by the apostle Peter in Acts 2:17, that mentions God using dreams. So God *can* speak through dreams, if He chooses to.  
  

However, we must keep in mind that the Bible is complete, having revealed everything we need to know from now until eternity. This is not to say that God does not work miracles or even speak through dreams today, but anything God says, whether through a dream, vision, impression, or “still small voice,” will agree completely with what He has already revealed in His Word. Dreams cannot usurp the authority of Scripture.  
  

If you have a dream and feel that perhaps God gave it to you, prayerfully examine the Word of God and make sure your dream is in agreement with Scripture. If it is, prayerfully consider what God would have you do in response to your dream (James 1:5\). In Scripture, whenever anyone experienced a dream from God, God always made the meaning of the dream clear, whether directly to the person, through an angel, or through another messenger (Genesis 40:5–11; Daniel 2:45; 4:19\). When God speaks to us, He makes sure His message is clearly understood.
