I have had dreams sometimes that are really unpleasant. These dreams are confusing and they are real life situations acted out - ones that I would NOT want to actually have happen to me, ever! I feel like these dreams are actually happening and so I feel the feelings I would if they really were happening. I wake up from these dreams confused and sad. I finally realized a connection, though, about 8 years ago when I had one of these dreams and then someone close to me called a few days later to talk to me and let me know that this exact thing happened to her. I felt like God had given me that dream to let me have a glimpse into how this person must feel in her current situation, so that I can be more empathetic and sympathetic.
This has happened at least 3-4 more times since then. I have chosen to write about this because it is sometimes confusing to me why the Lord would send me these dreams. I know they are a gift, but sometimes, I wonder what I am supposed to do with them, until today. I finally have realized that it's the Lord's way of saying, "Pray for the people going through this situation, and ask if there is anything you need to do because of this dream." Sometimes I think these dreams are warnings for me as well. Warnings to be extra careful and true, and I love it when I catch on to that!
Not all of my unpleasant dreams are ones that have this connection, but some are.
