What do you think about dreams? In biblical times, dreams were one of God’s most frequent communication media. He spoke with godly people (think Joseph and Joseph), as well as ungodly people [like Abimelech (Gen 20:3), Laban (31:24), the butler and baker of Pharaoh (40:8-19), Pharaoh himself (41:36), and Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 2:1-45; 4:5-33)]. There was a promise of God-inspired dreams during the age of the Spirit (Acts 2:17), but the New Testament doesn’t directly mention dreams as part of God speaking to His people during that time.

One of my cousins, Kevin Archer, talked to me about work he is now doing interpreting dreams. You can see his website: Onsite Dreams. I haven’t had a lot of time to talk with Kevin about his work, but he asked me for a reaction from a biblical standpoint. I thought I’d allow you, oh gentle readers, to respond to some of his questions:

Does God want us to view them as messages from him? Does God teach us what to do with our dreams? Does God give us dream interpreters in modern times? What should we do when our dreams seem important to us? How do we know if our dream has been properly interpreted? Has the church avoided this topic or over looked it or ???

I’d like to hear your thoughts.
