Biblical Dream Interpretation

Sometimes, our dreams tell us what we need and we don't even realize we need it.

JOB 33:14-18
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Dreams, Sleep & the Brain Flush

Science admits the validity of dreaming, however, they credit no spiritual aspect in dreaming. Remember, we are 3n1-body, mind & spirit.

We know that when we dream, much of our brain is in a state of paralysis rendering us into a state which the Bible refers to as "the little death". When we sleep, our brain shrinks, allowing the cerebial fluids our brains float in to flow freely. There are tiny tubes where clean fluids flow in as waves, mix with the interstitial metabolic fluid‐ filled metabolic waste of the day and flush out into our blood. This glymphatic action ONLY happens during sleep. So the brain is self cleaning. A lack of sleep impairs this cleaning of tye CNS (Central Nervous Ststem)

We dream several times a night but only recall a very small percentage of our dreams if at all.
Scripture gives us specific reasons for our dreams remembered. Those we can't recall are basically flushed out.

There really is no such thing as a "pizza dream", there are however activities in our day that can contribute to our Dreams as the parts of the brain that are active are memory, imaging and emotion. Still the #1 reason we dream is because this is an effective way for God to communicate with people while we are in an unconscious, paralytic state.

Blessings & Shalom

There is much history on dreams. Science has been attempting to understand why we dream, what the purpose of dreaming is. Early civilizations thought they were a bridge between the natural works and spiritual world. Science believes they are the minds way of processing events of the day, a collection of our thoughts and experiences.

In a sense, all three have it right-in part. Yes, or minds perform a "mental flush". What's necessary, store as memory the rest, flush and yes, you're brain cleanses and flushes itself nightly of metabolic waste. Yes it is a connection with the spiritual.
The real reason.... it's in Job 33:15. It tell us that dreams are one of the ways God speaks to us, to warn us of something that is about to happen or choices we are about to make, and we have the power of choice, (free will). Make the right one to keep yourself out of the pit. If this does not get our attention, the next step, to chastened us in a sick bed.
That being said, here is the reason....

This is the scripture in Job 33:15 from 2 Bible versions the NKJ (New King James)and MSG (The message version Bible)

MSG; God always answers, one way or another,
even when people don’t recognize his presence.
15-18“In a dream, for instance, a vision at night,
when men and women are deep in sleep,
fast asleep in their beds—
God opens their ears
and impresses them with warnings
To turn them back from something bad they’re planning,
from some reckless choice,
And keep them from an early grave,
from the river of no return.
19-22“Or, God might get their attention through pain,
by throwing them on a bed of suffering,
So they can’t stand the sight of food,
have no appetite for their favorite treats.
They lose weight, wasting away to nothing,
reduced to a bag of bones.
They hang on the cliff-edge of death,
knowing the next breath may be their last.

NKJ ; For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
16Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
17In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
18He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from perishing by the sword.
19“Man is also chastened with pain on his bed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,
20So that his life abhors bread,
And his soul succulent food.
21His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.
22Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.

Be blessed and Shalom my friends!
