Does anyone know why God would reveal someone feelings for you in a dream

My son was given a dream about a guy I work with who also is a Christian. My son never seen him before and described him pretty accurate accept he had a beard and he doesn't until one day I came into work and saw him with a full grown beard. I was shocked because I thought my son dream was false. He said his emotions was of love towards me he saw it in his eyes. He had feelings for me.

I've only had one dream in my life that I thought might have come from God, it was about my future demise, jury is still out on that one.

God works in very strange ways (strange to us that is). It may have been from God, maybe not. Whether it is or isn't, proceed with wisdom. And be patient. I presume you are eligible for marriage scripturally speaking, if so, then pray and wait. This is a tough one sister. I only weighed in because no one else had to this point. Whatever you do, put Christ and your son first, and be certain that this man or any other man does as well.

Dreams can be from the devil, or natural too, i wouldn't credit too much to them, unless you get some kind of confirmation by the Holy spirit, and also then you need to be catious and test the spirits because the enemy sometimes likes to appear as 'angel of light'

Well that's true, but the way this guy acts around me suggest he may like me. With the constant staring and getting bother by other men talking to me. It's a possibility that he does have feelings. If the dream was sent and this guy wasn't displaying any type of interest I would have ignored the dream immediately. I've been in prayer about this. Thank you! God bless.

If he is bothered by other men talking to you . . . .

Jesus says,

"if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" (in Matthew 5:46)

So, Jesus wants him to love those men, not treat them like competition or a threat. And if he considers you to be a kind and good person, he should love them as himself by wanting you to be good for them like you are good for him.

Loving and having feelings for you does not make you his possession so he can use you only for what he wants!!

And in case he does have a jealousy problem, he is possibly charming you, even maybe covering up for an anger and abuse problem. And there is a problem an abuser or charmer or other deceiver is going to have if he fools you together with him. He will know he could so easily fool you; and so, if you were so easy for *him* to fool, then someone else could come along and fool you, too, and take you from him! So, he always will not be able to trust you; because, while he can keep you fooled, someone else also could fool you. And so is the trap he has put himself in, so he can not find out how to love while he is willing to deceive and fool and only try to control and use someone.

And so you also are wise to not try to fool a guy, maybe in your desperation to get someone. Or you could get with someone who does not know how to make sure with God. And as you discover the deception about how you really are . . . you can also discover how the "love" is a deception and not so lasting and "strong" like it promised to be.

So-o-o > while we want someone to be easy to fool with our lies and trickery . . . we are not loving that person. Because with God we can make sure about a relationship and about if we should trust someone. So, if I want you to be fooled, this means I do not want you to be able to make sure with God. And there are even ministers who will tell you that you can't make sure with God but you have to "trust" them and do whatever they say.

But God's word says >

"Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

The only way to reliably test anything is to check it out with God who knows all about you and others and your situation, and His plan.

So, I must not ever try to Lord myself over anyone to use and control anyone. But welcome you to make sure about if you . . . and how you . . . trust me.

After all, we trust God because He has proven Himself; we do not trust Him blindly.

So, take your time. Enjoy discovering someone who loves all people and therefore welcomes you to love and be good for all people and not only him.

I've had similar dream in the past nearly ruined my life.

Sometimes prophetic dreams can from the enemy especially if there's something you want to happen.

The Lord wants what is best for us but sometimes it isn't something we want or even think we need.

God works in very strange ways (strange to us that is).
When I have a dream about the future, it's usually associated with trauma or a stressful situation. I believe the present can reach back into the past, allowing us to warn ourselves to be ready for upcoming events. Trauma can also be inherited, as seen in the descendants of slavery who feel it deeply in their blood. Science suggests this may be related to instincts, which could stem from the traumas and experiences of our ancestors.

Intergenerational Trauma:​

  • Inherited Trauma: Studies have shown that trauma can indeed be passed down through generations. This is known as intergenerational or transgenerational trauma. Descendants of people who have experienced severe trauma, such as slavery, war, or genocide, can exhibit signs of that trauma even if they did not experience it directly.
  • Epigenetics: One explanation for this phenomenon is epigenetics, which studies how gene expression can be altered by environmental factors. Trauma can cause changes in the way genes are expressed, and these changes can be passed on to offspring.

This is why identical twins are not totally identical.
There are variations in how the genes express themselves as we develop.

I would cast down speculation about a specific demise. Why? Because it rarely serves any purpose. Instead of mediating on some particular place, time or method, you should see yourself set free from that. Sometimes those things can just be a deception.

You looking for a husband?

Or already have one?

This situation could go either good or evil.

My coworker likes me. Jokes about me being telepathic, but is not christian and makes comments about the bible being patriarchy this, patriarchy that.

But i have found that i can pray for her and she is changing..

God may have been sharing a guy's feelings for you in a dream, or your son may be picking up on your desires.

Keep it in prayer. Sometimes with God dreams it can be like a piece He throws our way and it is up to us to seek Him on it for more.

But we are not led solely by dreams. These are things the Lord should be confirming to us as we seek Him on it, and He can give us more.

I recall a particular dream i had with presenting a child to a guy and he looked at the child, but then his focus was all on me, so impressed and taken he was with me. It was a guy in a Christian band.

I felt the guy in the dream represented the Lord, impressed that i was seeking for another and not myself (not that, of itself, there is anything wrong to seek for ourselves). And, it may be that by his Spirit in others, that impresses others too.

Guess what I'm trying to say is sometimes people represent others in dreams, but could the Lord have revealed the guy's feelings in the dream to your son? Why not? I just believe you shouldn't assume that is the case, which appears you aren't, and continue to seek the Lord on it.

Me and him work together. And he's been staring at me for sometime so much so that othe coworkers have pointed it out to me. We were in church and I was seated to the back and he arrived a little later he didn't see me.

After a while we were directed to stand up so I'm looking behind me to put my purse in my seat as soon as I turn around he's the only one tured around looking at me dead in my eyes for no reason. If I'm in the lunch room and I'm laughing he'll poke his head in quickly.

We work in different departments. While I'm working he's turning to look in my direction. And what I'm doing is so boring. He just seems to be always watching me. Our eyes always seem to meet when I look up.

I would totally agree with your last statement, but his behavior towards me starting to think the dreams may hold some truth.

Sounds to me like the dream is a warning as in something is wrong.

Children dont understand sexual desire and can misinterpret dreams... Not that you really want to talk to your son about what exactly the nature of that mans desire is ..

No offense but are you especially oblivious to mens intentions?

Someone with a word of knowledge can , God Willing, tell you if any of this is truth, from God, or not.
