Bad Dreams after Becoming a Christian

[symbiote7]

dhatura, That's pretty wild. Wish I could tell you what it all means. In any case welcome to the fam! Life is still going to be crazy and confusing until the day heaven and earth are one but you have found someone who is looking out for you who understands every single thing about you and loves you even if no one else does.

Don't worry. I think it's just you being nervous about messing up and sinning. Why do you think little kids have bad dreams? It's because they obsess over something they fear. You seem to fear giving in to temptation (which isn't a bad thing .) The problem is, you're TOO worried about what you MIGHT do. The Bible says (don't ask me where I'm a new Christian) that we shouldn't worry about the future or obsess over the past.

Don't let these fears and nightmares rob you of your freedom God's given you okay?

God bless

Thanks Justaman0000. Some church friends also interpreted my dreams as Satan's attacks. They said he doesn't like that I became one of God's people.

Well hey, it's true. I think he's trying to make you feel like trash so you end up turning away from God. Here's some good news though: If you sin, or turn away, God becomes angry, but not at you! Think of it this way:

Okay dating talk incoming! Let's say a guy dated a girl for, I don't know, 2 weeks? Then he meets this other girl and starts dating her instead of the first. What do you think the first girl's gonna do? Try to get him back! In the same way God will try to get YOU back.

Now in this story the people are human, so the first girl IS gonna be mad at the guy, but God won't be. God will be mad at Satan, and sin, and whatever brought you astray. So he's basically gonna say "OH HECK NO" and try to get you back. Note: This is NOT a licence to sin, or anything, just encouragement

I've been having bad dreams after I became a Christian days ago. For example, on the day I became a Christian, I dreamed that I murdered someone and wanted to have inappropriate sex with my boss. Then, in the following several days, I dreamed that I was driving on a long mysterious road not being able to get out. One day, I dreamed that I was haunting down someone but was found out and cornered, where I got raped.
Does anyone know what this means?

Haunting down someone?

Is something haunting you?

I am curious about your feelings for your boss. It sounds like you are struggling with identity and sexual repression. This is common as the marriage to God looms much closer.

The boss in my dream doesn't have a counterpart in my real life. It's not someone I know. So I don't have feelings for him. I just know in my dream that he is my boss.

The only boss we look for is God. God is ultimately our boss. The marriage of the Bride of Christ is to God, so that sounds like spiritual meanings hidden under the sexual feelings.

Hard to understand in the flesh, Paul says.
