Had another dream about the Netherlands last night, i was at a giant electronic dance music festival with a few friends hangin out with one of my favorite djs. This is the 3rd dream i have had about visiting this country. What do you think God is trying to tell me
It sounds as though you are hoping it means you might end up there, and that is possible. A dream is not a mandate -- it is a help. If God were mandating something, you would know. If you were to hold the thought in your mind while planning your life, then things would pop up that would confirm. I have ended up in some really unexpected places, and God has given me a hint beforehand to cushion the catapulting.

If you're not planning to move, and there is no logical connection, no personal parallel, and you have prayed for people potentially involved, then look at the dream as a springboard for more information on a real life topic.

Words that stand out like "Netherlands" might not represent what you expect... but then when you do a search, they lead you to something meaningful. For instance, if you were in a band that was stuck for songwriting direction, and looked up music of the Netherlands, you might find a new intriguing sound that could lead your band in a new direction.

The dream is not the end goal, but a mark that guides you in a worthwhile direction, if you reflect on it.

There may be personal symbolism in the dream: if your best friend moved to the Netherlands and you missed them, this dream would show the joy of a reunion and fellowship of friends-- not necessarily literal.

When Joseph understood the dreams about drought, his goal was not to have famine, but to take the information and use it for everyone's good. He had grain silos built that prepared and sustained an empire through a crisis.

Before jumping on a train, look at your dream and ask God what you need to get out of the information. Look at each part as a potential symbol, and see if there's a parallel in your life.

In the Netherlands, there is a vivid contrast between their love for electronic dance music (and other genres), and endless miles of peaceful farmlands. Teens there might have a desire for noise and excitement, for balance. Your dream showed a favorite DJ, which brings up adoration of a public figure and gaining from networking ...all's right with your world when you're with great friends in a great place and a great leader.

I suspect that you already have a clue what you should get out of the dream, and are hoping for confirmation. Live for God, stay connected with Him, and you will be guided by Him in various ways.

Hi W4TL

This dream may be more about what you were doing in the Netherlands rather than actually going to the Netherlands. You say it is your 3rd such dream?

What were you doing there in the other 2 dreams? (Rhetorical question, you don't have to answer that). Was it something that would be considered worldly such as a "giant electronic dance music festival" or something more pleasing to God?

I don't mean to judge you in any way, we were all young once, however there comes a time when the Lord asks us to lay certain things down in our lives in order to walk with Him more closely and it is this 'laying down' that sprang to mind when I read the word Netherlands.

If you research the meaning of this name you will find that it means 'The Low Countries' or 'Low Country'. It is also known as Holland and is made up of 12 provinces. Netherlands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reason for this name is that a large percentage of it (and hence it's population) is below sea level and as a result sometimes flooded and underwater. Interestingly also the word 'Nether' means behind or to the rear.

I can't help but feel that God is asking you through these dreams to lay certain things in your life down or put them behind you to bring them low before Him and possibly even underwater, have you been baptised (again rhetorical)?

These are the impressions laid on my heart about your dream, please disregard them if you think they are off the mark.
