It is common to dream about disasters like tornados and earthquakes and should not be assumed to be prophetic. These kinds of dreams are mostly about the dreamer's own fears of being out of control of their own life. Fears we can't face in real life come to us in our dreams so we can learn to deal with them. It's most likely that there is some stress in your life you are having trouble dealing with and your unconscious mind is trying to help you acknowledge and understand your feelings.

Although it is typical in this forum for every dream to be interpretted as a sign of the end of the world, dreams of this nature have been recorded since ancient Egypt and speak more about the dreamer's present life than about events yet to come.

lambslave does God speak to people in visions and dreams according to the Bible?? does the Bible state that God has stoped speaking in visions and or dreams at anytime?? Does the Bible state we should be aware of the season we are in?? Is our time and Gods time the same?? Is there now current signs that we are now in the end season?? when the jews returned to Israel was this a sigh of the end season acording to the Bible?? Why does God give the gift of discernment?? does God still give the gift of prophesy?? may God be with you in all.

Your rant has nothing to do with my post. You are overreacting to what you think I wrote and not to what I wrote.

God can speak through dreams, but not every dream is a message from God.

this is VERY true. the enemy can also speak.

Sure. Give me one biblical example of satan speaking to someone in a dream.

Why are you so hung up on hearing from God in a dream? Hasn't he already said enough for you in the Bible?

When you are all done doing everything he said in the Bible, then I will believe he is sending you messages in a dream. :(

every account of demon possesion in the Bible would be an example of the enemy speaking to who is possesed by that demon awake or asleep.
Are we not ALL supposed to listen to God ?? has not God always since the beginning of man been speaking to those willing to listen?? is this not Bible teaching to listen to God?? has not every man and woman that has been called to serve God heard his calling??

I think what Lambsblood is trying to say is people have dreams, most of the time they are just dreams. God can give people dreams but we should not spend hours trying to figure out the meaning of a dream if there is nothing to figure out.

But what is with all the double "??" lol

lambsblood never disputed that God can talk to you in a dream or not. Hes just pointing out the fact that dreams can sometimes just be dreams.

I hope that made sense lol

I don't doubt that God speaks to me in dreams. I've dreamed about my kids getting hurt or killed, and when I wake up I thank God for showing me that even though they can be little boogers sometimes, I will never stop loving them because they could go at any time.

I dream about tornadoes at least once or twice a week, or 100's of times a year. So I don't think it's a sign each and every time, but I think since I keep dreaming about them constantly, then something's significant. In fact, my earliest dream memory is of my Mother's hair being ripped out by a tornado when I was around 7 or 8. So I've dreamed about them 1,000's of times in my life.

I've thought about keeping a dream diary but I forget to write them down. My latest tornado dream was 3 days ago, so I guess I'm due for one!

Yes, the Lord has given me dreams about tornadoes. It did not occur to me that those dreams were prophetic until I read something about the Lord speaking in dreams through dream visions but men percieve it not, so I asked the Lord for some confirmation about those dreams and I randomly opened my Bible to a verse in one of the psalms which talked about tempests and whirlinds. I looked up the same verse in my AMP Bible and tornadoes was in parenthesis. My interpretation of just one of these many dreams is recorded as so(with horrible grammar):

marriage dinner by the bridge in the evening around sunset. Something was going on in the South so I left. I could fly but I couldn't fly higher than a few feet off of the ground. I tried to fly higher but something invisible always held me down close to the earth. Over in the South, it was a battle sort of situation and something about Big Brother was mentioned. Earlier, there was a terrible storm and tornadoes and I got a bunch of birds there and got them in cages in the bathroom but the doors on the cages were too small to fit in the cage so the birds could fly out and that was a challenge keeping it so the birds wouldnt fly out and be in danger. My mom was there with me and I think my dad. The tornado passed over but we were alright. Before that, even, I remember sensing it was a big battle and it was storming. When I'd go out in the back to fight, the rain and storm got much worse but when I retreated back in the house it calmed down. I went and took cover in the spa area and the storm would calm and I remember thinking or hearing an inner voice say it was cleft in the rock and was a place of safety. And I knew after we won the first part of the battle, we would be much more powerful and have enormous supernatural power to exercise and I was so eager to be glorified into such a state and fight with such power. But the storm was there and I saw the huge tornadoes forming across the bay and I knew there was time so I ignored it a bit but eventually I got everyone and all the birds in the bathroom and we were saved in the end and after that we had that marriage supper thing going on by the bridge in the north part of the town but then I excused myself to check out the fighting in the south end. ---dream I had from 4-21 and woke up 4-22 so I'd say the date is 4-22-06

symbols I can identify:

bathroom is the secret place of safety which is abiding in Jesus
marriage dinner refers to the marriage feast of the Lamb
sunset- end of the age
big brother- beast
storm means spiritual war and tribulation in this case refered to the tribulation of Daniel and Rev and things of apocalyptic nature
power to fight in the glorified state means exercising power and authority in Jesus name and ascending in glory which means to grow in Christ's likeness and ties with the power of the corporate man-child and two witnesses who have the power to shut up the sky so that no rain may fall and plague the earth as they go forth giving their testimony.


I think my dream was about the great tribulation and the end times stuff and the spiritual battles that go on as well as the physical battles which come from the spiritual ones and I guess the world beast had a lot to do with it since I think we were fighting the spirit of the world and Big Brother refers to government control and corruption which refers to the phsyical beast of the world kingdoms. Something that points to this is when I went to jazz the day I woke up from the dream, Andre(the dad) started talking about the chips that go in the hand and forehead and he was telling my dad how that fulfilled the Bible prophecy of the mark of the beast in the hand and forehead to buy and sell which is what those chips are said to eventually be used for and his son who is 12 or so said that if someone would try to remove those chips, they will detonate and the chips will give an explosion(if that chip was in the forehead, it would instantly kill someone if it detonated) my dad was being polite and said he'd not want one of those things(he isn't a Christian) and I started saying how I'm not worried because the Bible says only those whose names aren't in the Book of Life will take the mark and that the mark is also spiritual because the beast refers to the world and we are called to be apart from the world in our character because we have been born again and are new creations and are to grow in Christ's likeness and have the kingdom of God be manifested in us and have the kingdom of this world taken out of us. I said that and sensed the Holy Spirit's presence send a wave inside of my heart because I sense I was speaking by the Spirit of Truth and the Truth carries power to convict others of the Truth. I've been praying for my father more that he will repent and turn to God and I was surprised that I said those things in his hearing. I think the day of the Lord is at hand and on my way to practice a verse from Zepheniah randomlu popped in my head which was "seek the Lord all you meek of the earth that you may be hid on the day of the Lord's fierce anger" and in my dream, the restroom was the place of safety where we were hid and saved when the powerful tornado passed through. I think me seeing the tornadoes develop in the distance(not a huge distance) means that these things are developing and I see them developing but I'm getting careless so I figure we have time to not worry but I think I will know better because I acted at the right time to get things prepared. I don't know why there always birds in those dreams. I sense it's a sign of me protecting helpless ones because I've always had a motherly complex when it comes to birds having had so many for pets and in my dreams, I always feel immense responsibility to keep them safe. I really do not know what to think of them exactly as far as my dreams go, but I've been having reocurring dreams like this for years. I also think the storm thing is prophetic of hurricanes which will develop in the hurricane seasons. In the summer of 04 I had a powerful dream like this with two tornadoes that I saw coming but they didn't hit us and I wonder if that was prophetic of Charly and Ivan which would have brought great devestation(and I would have probably lost everything I own...maybe even my life) but they missed us. Prayer is powerful and many of us were really praying for the first one and God gave a sign in the skies to us at my church that he heard us by showing forth the only double rainbow illuminating the evening sky and it was beautiful and I remember sensing within that God was telling us that He had mercy on us because we prayed the way we did.

I haven't been thinking much about these end times things and have been struggling with being carnal but trying to get myself out of my earthly mindedness which represents me trying to fly higher but being to close to the earth. I first thought the dream might have been from God when I thought about it but then I felt maybe not because I was too carnal but then I remember people who weren't even saved getting divine dreams such as the king of babylon and the king of egypt in the Bible...except they could not interpret the dreams...only people of God like Joseph and Daniel understood the dreams.

--In my dream with the fighting, I wasn't all able to defeat the enemy of the storm, but I knew that after half the battle was fought out(first 3 1/2 years of tribulation), we would ascend to much greater levels of power to be formidable opponents to our enemy. In my dream, I greatly anticipated this but never experienced it. I believe that means that the power I did weild is what I have as of now, but as I mature further into Christ's likeness, I shall walk in the ascended level of power which I was so eager to attain. My eagerness reflects my willingness to be fully transformed into His image. In the first part of the battle, the wind and the storm was so powerful that I kept having to retreat inside the house and in the spa area which would shift its walls to protect me as a cleft in a rock of safety(relates to abiding in the secret place of the Most High and being built on the Rock that is Christ). So I was not able for much offense so I relied on defense which was in my ability to run to Christ for safety. The storm was outside but I had shelter. I had shelter because my shelter was my foundation in Christ. Those without this spiritual foundation will have no place to run and hide when the tribulation storm(which was almost impossible to endure because of the power of the storm's fierce winds) approaches. I at least had a place to hide and be safe and I was soon enough going to be powerful enough to actually fight and overcome my adversity represented by the storm(I cannot remember what actual enemies were there in the dream if any but I knew we were in a final battle of sorts like in some RPG game...it was pretty awesome). But in the second half of the battle(second 3 1/2 years), I had a flash vision of the people fighting and they were dressed in white and looked clean and seemed able to levitate into the air and I had an impression that these who ascended into the greater level of power were illuminated with an aura and were beautiful but surging with a sense of power where I knew they would overcome and I knew 'we' would become these warriors midway into the battle.

i try to live my life according to Gods Will and His word the Bible. His word i study and use to interpert my dreams and visions which He has shown me. much of what God has shown me of my life has come to pass, the work that i do, where i live and the people in my life, this forum, some of the end season signs, these have come as was shown in visions, the death of my son, Christs return, some of the end of season signs, the coming together of all breathren, myself preaching, these have not come to pass as of this hour. dont get me wrong i have had many dreams that were not from God, however i do study each and every one to be sure if its from God or if it is not.

Recently I've had quite a few nightmares involving tornados and other things like that...sandstorms ect.

I'm not really scared of them and it's kind of a family hobby to spot them but face to face with one I don't know anyone who wouldn't be scared!! And dreams always seem to real. ((hug))

Maybe you're having so many dreams about them because of how scared you are of them?

Tornadoes represent a mix up of all things normal.
Imagine a house, stood securley on the ground, happily stood there, not harming anyone. All the other houses and cars and whatnot in the neighbourhood represent all your other feelings.
When the tornado comes, it lifts up EVERYTHING and spins it in the air, like a blending machine - mixing up everything.
This either represents something that has happened, something that is coming, or merely something that you are afraid of - a confusion of feelings and emotions, possibly a fall out with friends or family? :)
