Hey, newbie in Christ here :wave:
I've been in the Christian church all my life but as of 1 week today I've given my entire heart, body and soul to Christ. I was high on God and felt great, but then I fell. It was like the life was sucked out of me. I couldn't laugh, cry, and even my husband seemed like a stranger. That was on Tuesday and that night I had a dream. I was at a pier with beautiful deep water and an unfaithful man, and I knew all he had done. He was tall and wide, like he was 400lbs and began confess but with no remorse. As he continued talking his demeanor changed and he seemed sorrowful and he began to grow thin and when he finished was skeleton covered with skin. I thought that's what happend to me, that I poured out so much I was empty and at emotional death. I just wondered has anyone else had that spiritual fall after giving your heart to the Lord? :confused:
Btw, after the dream I was still feeling low but not as bad and now I feel better.

Welcome to the family! Yes, it is normal to have a drop in emotions after the moment of decision. For one, the body's adrenaline pumped up and needs to recharge. For another, the enemy that you hear about -- he knows he lost a round. It's good to hear you are normalizing.

Interesting dream, especially how it relates to remorse. I'd guess that most people have the most remorse at that point of life repentance. After that, it's incident by incident, and you will have a better understanding of God's repentance. He fills us with the fruits of having the Spirit in our lives -- love joy peace patience kindness goodness self-control. You can move on after feeling regret -- that is God's plan of redemption.

Remember, your skeletal frame is still there, whether you have ups or downs. Keep reading about His outlook, because it's often different than we assume.

We have a subforum here where people discuss their dreams, so feel free to swing by Dreams&Visions.

"John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. (John 3:28) Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I [must] decrease."

I think your dream depicts losing the flesh as you repent. It may seem mechanical at first, but stick with it, it will be efficacious and affect your deepest parts. And as Parsley said, your skeletal frame remained. The emotional rollercoaster is more or less normal. I wouldn't worry about it. You're under grace, and God will be in you, working to will and to do His good pleasure in and through you.

I don't put much significance in dreams..but u do raise a legitimate question. Scripture tells us that our old life is dead and now we have a new life in Christ...but why does all the old temptations that you were powerless against before salvation follow afterwards and are still just as powerful?

Then the emotional letdown happens and one feels like nothing really changed.
