Dream interpretation is one of those things that has always fascinated human nature. It has been used by humans to better understand their subconscious thoughts and emotions. Many people find answers in the waking world by using dreams to interpret meanings, symbols, and even mysterious messages that nighttime visions can send. Here we take a closer look at the art of dream interpretation, answering questions such as “How do I know what a dream means?” and so on.

The Importance of Dream Interpretation
It is a science and an art based on psychology, the unconscious, and sometimes mysterious, and it reflects spiritual revelations or some hidden thoughts, some unresolved emotions in life, but the symbolism of dreams can be difficult to understand because it is layered with thoughts and worldly thinking.
Whether it’s a question like “Finding the meaning of dreams” or “What are your dreams trying to tell you?”, the journey begins with the knowledge that has enabled many who believe in dreams to mirror their inner self.
If you’ve had a lucid dream, you’ve probably woken up and wondered about its meaning. Start by noting key elements of your dream, such as colors, emotions, people, or actions. For example, if you dream of a divorce or marital conflict, ask yourself if there are any fears or unresolved issues in your waking life.
Remember that dreams often have symbolic, not literal, meanings. For example, dreaming that your spouse is into witchcraft doesn’t mean that they are. However, they could represent mistrust, unresolved conflicts, or external influences that are causing your emotional turmoil.
What are your dreams trying to say?
Your dreams often provide a voice for your subconscious about something that is buried deep within you, unresolved. Here is an example:
If you dream of a wedding or weddings and you are already married, it could indicate a desire to reconnect and reaffirm your commitment or to undergo personal transformation.
If you dream of fighting with your parents, it could be a sign of guilt or unresolved emotions if you feel you have not spent enough time with them.
Dreams can also be about fighting on a spiritual battlefield. You must understand whether what it promises is truly in line with your values, beliefs, and scripture.
What do your dreams mean?
Every dream is multi-layered in meaning, influenced by your emotions, personal history, and environment. For example,
A dream of conflict: If you dream of fighting with your partner, it could be a sign of unresolved emotional tension.
Dreaming of parents as “witches”: This is very common and can represent guilt, spiritual warfare, or external manipulation from your subconscious.
Dream of betrayal: Such dreams can be based on insecurity, incomplete trust, or past trauma.
It is important to understand the context of your dream. If in doubt, seeking advice from a professional in dream analysis or a trusted spiritual advisor can make all the difference.
Dreams and their relationship to Scripture
For others, their dreams are revelations from God, especially when the dream content is on spiritual topics. However, it is necessary to determine whether the dream message is in line with biblical principles.
Example:
Divorce or witchcraft may not be God’s will but may represent spiritual attacks or unresolved emotional conflicts.
The Bible tells us, Jeremiah 17:9, that “the heart is deceitful above all things,” reminding us to determine whether our dreams are God’s will or evil forces working against us.
When actions in dreams appear to be contrary to God’s teachings found in the Bible, such as disrespecting our parents, divorcing without justification, etc., it becomes very important to ground our thoughts in God’s Word and align them with them.
Know when to question the symbolism of your dreams.
Dreams can sometimes be misleading, especially during times of stress, worldly pressure, or spiritual attacks. For example,
A dream of a spouse cheating on you: is probably a spiritual attack and does not reflect reality. So, instead of looking for “interpretations,” turn to prayer and resolve the unresolved issue.
When dreaming about parents in negative roles, it is important to pause before jumping to conclusions about their actions, such as practicing witchcraft or causing harm. Consider the care they have given you and the sacrifices they have made for you over the years.
