"Attacked" in dreams

[Mike312]

What do you do when I seem to be "attacked" by dreams. Some dreams I'm tempted to sin, or immensely afraid, or tempted sexually and while I've not slept with anyone before, and a friend said it's no big deal to have sexual dreams because they are only dreams, I think the decisions I make in my dreams reflect the decisions my flesh wants to make. I know who I am in dreams, what is happening (usually), I'm conscious of the decisions I make, I analyze consequences, I know right from wrong. So, I think satan can use dreams to somehow affect me. I just pray against dreams that are not from God. And it works too. When I forget to pray I'll have some pretty tempting or scary dreams, but when my last words are to the Lord before I go to sleep, he gaurds my mind. Just wondering what some other thoughts on this are.

I think, now this is JMO, that we may be open to things when we are not consciously defending ourselves, like in the dream state, and that demons and such could try to get into your head, say when you have this dream, you awake and then tink of it all day? I would pray before i went to sleep and rebuke the thoughts and pray first thing in the morning.

That's a good "?". I don't know if we can sin in dreams, can we?

Anyway, good for you on staying pure. I waited for God to give me my wife. I know how hard it was! Keep on keeping on Brother!

 

[R.James]

I see my dreams as more a wake-up call. I have been tempted by almost all sins, and fell into many in my dreams. I just see it as a way for God to let us know what is in our nature before we actually get thrown into dealing with it in the real world.

I don't know if we can sin in dreams, can we?

I dont think it's so much that we sin in our dreams. Dreams are a subconscious reflection of ourselves. If we sin in our dreams, it's because we still have a sin nature. And that nature remains until the perfection of the saints in the resurrection, but it is covered by the Blood of Messiah. Often times, as you may notice, you are not really in control of what you do in your dreams, and the things that you do seem to be "instinctive" or rather "on impulse" and not by conscious choice or decision. One shouldn't let their dreams affect their walk with the Lord, but take them into consideration that there may be some things that need to be worked on in one's heart and mind in the Grace of our Lord. Pray about them...

In Yeshua...

I don't believe that we can sin in our dreams, but they can be a warning of sin to come or a blurring of boundaries! God bless and protect you!

Hmm...I know exactly what you are talking about homie. I once had a dream that I lost my virginity and it freaked me out bad cuz I don't want to lose it!! Only my future husband has that right and no one else.

I've also had dreams of me being attacked by demons. But then again, I rebuked them in the Name of Jesus in my dream and they had to go cuz Jesus is more powerful

I remember, a while ago back in Febuary, I kept having all these demonic dreams of demons attacking me. And it felt soo real! Cuz I felt their ugly presence...But as always, God prevailed and they lost

Anywayz, Don't fret homie, just declare boldly and loudly in the name of Jesus that these dreams will be gone from you! I am agreeing with you now! Cuz like it says in the Bible, if you can get another person or more to agree with you in prayer, it will come to pass!

Well, be blessed!
