Recommended steps to interpret your dreams.

• I will share with you today, the way in which I do the interpretation of my dreams.

•There are simple steps that is good to do before jumping into any conclusion.

•You will find for yourself which method suit you best.

•This is how I do it, an it works for me.

Step #1 Journal the dream

• Write down all the details, even if you think they are not important.

• What persons, objects, or animals are there; the positioning of each is very important.

• Expressions of the faces, tonality of voice, attitude.

• Above, below, foreground, background, on the left hand side or right hand side.

• Numbers are very important, colours as well.

Step #1 Journal the dream•Pay good attention to the name of peoples, cities, places, rivers, mountains.

•Who or what appears to be the centre of attention in the dream?

•At what time of the day the actions in the dreams are taking place?

Step #1 Journal the dream

•he symbols can be negative or positive.

•Most of the symbols, colour and animals can be found in the bible.

•Animals often represent emotions.

•You have to depend on the Holy spirit to give you revelation of what the symbols in your dream represent.

That’s why you write down!

Step #2 Evaluate your emotions .

•Evaluate the emotions you felt when you woke up. 

•Evaluate the emotion you felt while dreaming, Were you scared, tired, feeling lost?

•What was the overall emotion the dream focused on?

• In real life, are you in some way feeling these emotions?

• Is God answering your questions?

Make an evaluation of each symbol.

•Adjectives.

•What descriptive words come into your mind?

•Feelings and emotions.

•What are your feelings toward it, what emotions rose up?

•Action.

•What verbs or action words you use to describe the symbol?

Step #3Check your emotions the previous day.

•Recall the emotions you have experienced or the issues you were going through during the day or the night before the dream.

Step #4 Situate your dream in a time line.

•Ask yourself if this dream is pointing out to the future, is it based on some present conditions or linked to past events ?

•God may give you a dream to reveal some shock or traumas that happened in the past and are causing you pain, so you can be able to deal with it and receive the healing in your heart.

Step #4 Situate your dream in a time line.

•Your present can be affected by things that happened in the past.

•Your present will affect your future.

•Your dream can speak about an immediate future, a near future or a far away future.

Step #5 What type of dream is this?

•Ascertain if the dream is literal or symbolic. 

• If you dream that you are flying, that is a symbolic dream.

• If someone is about to die, it can be literal, calling you to do something to avoid this death.

•Someone that has died in a dream, could represent that you are cutting ties with a person of same qualities of the dead person.

A Symbolic Dream.

Step #6 About whom is this dream?

•Ask yourself if this dream is about you or somebody else. 

•Example if you are an observer of the action in a dream and not a participant this dream might be for another person.

Step #7 Check the symbols one by one.

•Go through each symbol in the dream asking to the Lord for revelation about each symbol, until you sense in your spirit that the interpretation is complete.

Step #8What is the center or theme of the dream?

•Generally what impresses you more of the dream could be the theme of the dream.

•To find out this, you can removed parts of the dream and see if still makes sense.

• If it doesn’t any more, that is the central part of your dream.

PracticeYour time now.•And now we move to the laboratory to analyze your dreams.

•Remember the steps.

•At times it could take some days or even longer than that to obtain a complete meaning of your dream.

•When you have the interpretation of a dream, this interpretation can be amplified, modified or re-affirmed through other dreams or through more revelation from the Lord.

•As the dream that we have interpreted as an example took us more time than the expected, we will dedicate some extra time for this activity.

•As the dream that we have interpreted as an example took us more time than the expected, we will dedicate some extra time for this activity.

•We will see another way of writing down your dream for an easier interpretation.

•Each one of you could bring a personal dream and we will work in pairs to find an interpretation.

•Thank you Lord for your precious presence and anointing in the group. We ask you Lord that you may increase the revelatory gifting, that you grant us a good recalling memory to be able to remember our dreams. Come and visit us in our dreams, grand us revelation of the plans you have for us. We ask you this in Jesus name. Amen.
