Dreams: God Speaks While You Sleep

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know!

Have you ever dismissed a dream as "just your brain processing the day" only to wonder later if there was something more to it? What if those nighttime narratives were actually divine communication—God's way of speaking to you through symbols and stories while you rest?

Dreams occupy a fascinating intersection of psychology, spirituality, and mystery. Throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, we see God consistently using dreams as a pivotal communication channel with His people. Joseph's prophetic dreams saved nations. Daniel's interpretations changed kingdoms. Even Jesus was protected through divine dream warnings. Yet many believers today remain unaware of how profoundly God might be speaking to them through their dream life.

In this episode, we explore how dreams function as "parables that happen in your sleep"—continuing Jesus' tradition of teaching through symbolic narratives. We unpack practical ways to steward your dreams through recording, reflecting, and interpreting with the help of trusted community. Rather than categorizing dreams as either "purely psychological" or "directly from God," we discuss how our dream life reflects the beautiful complexity of our relationship with God—sometimes processing our daily concerns, sometimes receiving divine guidance, and often a meaningful blend of both.
