Seeing God and Jesus in My Dreams

Back when I was little I remember having a dream where I "saw" God (and he doesn't look like what tradition has him look like, either). It's clear that no one has seen God at any time, no one can see God's face and live, etc., but even after all these years, whenever I think about or pray to God, I "attach" the image from my childhood dream to it as a knee-jerk reaction. A part of me is comforted by this so I can use this image as a placeholder until I finally see Him myself, but a part of me is worried because I'm thinking incorrectly about God (although my heart worships Him, not the image I've conjured). This also extends to the issues of Jesus and what society depicts Him as and how over the years it's been imbedded in my brain that that's what He looks like.

So... is it wrong to have these thoughts of His appearance? And if so, are there ways to "clear" my head of these images?

It isnt wrong....in fact, it is quite normal. It is, however, a form of idol worship. But it is human to want to worship something we can see. This is why the golden calf was made.

It is up to us to decide whether to worship the Calf, or the true and living God.

You say it isn't wrong but then in the next sentence you say it's idol worship. Isn't that a contradiction?
