Default Dreams; should we look further into them

While I was praying I came across dreams associated with my Christian Journey. Should I put much emphasis on them or should I focus on other things as in prayers?

I don't think we should pursue dreams or try to "look further into them."

Read Sirach, chapter 34 (click here)

There is no harm in looking into our dreams, as they are the window into our subconscious minds.

But we should not, a priori, assume that there is hidden wisdom to be found in them.

Pilate's wife had a dream that she used to warn Pilate not to crucify Jesus.

No....... Dreams are from your subconscious ,,,,
some dreams may help you overcome a problem,,,simply because your mind may be relaxed, and your mind figures out a problem because your mind is clear from clutter

For the time being I may just leave my dreams alone. I feel dreams if misunderstood can misdirect one into focusing solely on oneself. For my journey I feel it will be ok if I avoid them until further notice.

lately the dreams are not holy one but unholy ones. I believe it is the work of the Liar and Deceiver behind these ones.

+ 1.

Also, a nice gift from God so we don't have to look at the darkness while asleep.

I would not place too much meaning to dreams... although they could be messages from God as with visions or apparitions... for the most part dreams are random thoughts brought forward from our sub conscious... they may come from fears or worries past or present or from fantasies or desires hidden deep in our mind.

It's very important that we always be aware of what is real and what is fantasy. Dreams allow our inhibitions free to run wild, and we are more likely to do things in dreams that we would never consider in reality.

It is possible that some recurring dreams may be a warning or indication that we are very worried about some particular situation. I used to have nightmares about someone breaking into my house, so I eventually got an alarm system installed. The peace of mind was money well spent.

I had a dream the other night, it wasn't necessarily a holy one and it wasn't necessarily obscene. It was pleasant and rewarding.

Talking Re: Dreams; should we look further into them

I've noticed that dreams can come from a good source and then again it can come from a bad one. But, most dreams are but a recollection and summary of the day that has passed. Perhaps unfulfilled or incomplete thoughts mixed in there as well.
