We can witness the spirit world in our dreams. Often times we are out of our bodies and in the spirit world while dreaming. We can witness the dead and some of the powers of that world. Sometimes, a person can witness the spirits of deceased friends and family members. And the spirits of living people as well.

An angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream to tell him that the child was of the Holy Spirit and not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife.

Mathew 1:20. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

Nightmares have demonic influence. The devil tempts the recovering alcoholic by putting a can of beer in his or her hand in a dream. What we are dealing with is a complex hidden battle between us and demonic forces on a subconscious and unconscious level in our dreams. They prey on our weaknesses.

Please feel free to discuss scripture involving dreams and the spirit world. Thank you.

Ezekiel would have visions of God through dreams.

And so did Solomon,

1 King 3:5. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”

God is in the spirit world. And Solomon was out of his body in the spirit world while dreaming as God appeared to him.

Do you believe God gives dreams today?

Do you think Ezekiel saw God in his fullness?

It is spirits with powers that manipulate dreams, not you. It only appears that way because they play upon your suggestions.

"Saint Augustine of Hippo (d. 430 C.E.) left several writings clearly expressing his opinion that dreams can come from several sources: from the divine, from below, or simply from everyday life."

"St. Augustine also discusses lucid dreaming in one of his letters – as evidence of life after death."

Here are some more dreams mentioned in the Bible:

Genesis 46:2. God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."

Daniel 2:19. Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven;

Matthew 2:12. And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.
