Help with Dream interpretation

[AudreyKate]

Hello everyone! I am just new here and i am happy to be a part of this. Anyway, I have this strange dream that I needed interpretations with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Before the dream, I would like to give a short story behind it.

Last January 1st, as I was on my way to have lunch with my husband's family, my uncle approached me and my husband to talk in private. My husband and I are trying to conceive for 6 years now. My uncle said that I was cursed by my father when he was still alive because we didn't have the best father-daughter relationship ever. and I was really bothered by this message.

going to the dream... last night I dreamed that I was in a poorly renovated house with my niece and husband. Looking around, I noticed there were spiderwebs so I decided to take them away with a long broomstick. As I was doing so, i saw a couple of small spiders (dead) and a big one (like a black and yellow tarantula) that fell on the floor. I immediately wanted to kill the spider, but it bit my niece before I had the chance to kill it. She was crying in pain and I saw it was swelling. then I woke up... I felt tired and uncomfortable...I'm not even sure if the dream is connected to what my uncle told me. thank you and God bless you all!

My first question would be whether you feel in your spirit this is a dream from god that requires interpretation. I guess it is otherwise you wouldnt be asking. Dreams are often your mind "working out" things it is dealing with and is an insight into your subconscious more than prophetic.

I do not have an interpretation for this dream but have heard that particular things in dreams have particular meaning when attached to the subconscious. This is not biblical though so should be treated as such. The reason I will go ahead is it may apply. Spiders are apparently linked to manipulation and their spinning a web to catch their prey represents people manipulating things. If it is your subconscious and not from God and this is correct it could either represent either your father and your relationship with him, or it could represent your uncle trying to manipulate you to blaming your father.

Is your uncle a Christian and can you trust that him and he does not have his own agenda for saying this? How does he believe your father cursed you? Is he accusing your father of witchcraft?

In your situation I would pray and repent of my sin, my fathers sin, my uncles sin and ask God to break any tie, bond or chain to them and the past that is not Godly and to commit to Him anew as your Heavenly Father again. Ask Him to remove anything that lead to an attack against your fertility and give you healing that you may conceive.

Thank you so much for your reply GirdYourLoins. It made me realize so many things that I have yet to do it my life. I strongly felt that there was a warning in the dream. I already repented of my sins and even prayed some deliverance prayers before I had this strange dream. I have not included my uncle's and Dad's sins though. Only 2 people are Christians in the family. The rest are following many Buddhism, Roman Catholicism and witchcraft for my dad. I kept on praying to God to bring salvation to my family and my husband's

More about my uncle, well he told me he talked to a medium regarding my condition without my permission. I know we are not to believe them (mediums) but what actually bothered me was my uncle knew about my dad's intention of cursing me. He said he tried to talk to my dad several times not to do it.

Thank you for your advice! I will do it immediately. God bless you more!

I do find it relevant that black and yellow colors on insects indicate poison and danger. And you wanted to kill/destroy the danger (spider). Spiders spin webs that catch prey. Your niece is your uncle's daughter. The broomstick cleared most of everything but left the danger and made it visible. So the cat is out of the bag so to speak. The dwelling you describe is your home. IT is your family. It seems to almost be like the spider is your uncle. Your father would be one of the other spiders, with perhaps other family members. You are tired and uncomfortable with dealing with the issue. This is not the first time. You have been burying the same issue for several years, and it probably is the primary reason conception has not occurred. Call it a chemical misfire due to fear. The body does strange things when we let things influence us and hurt us. Your father could not curse you because he did not have the power to do so. He brought upon himself the same curse which was intended for you. That is death. Your uncle is intending to do the same. It is an attempt to sway and warp your mind because it clings to what you find important, the child bearing issue. While it may not be what you want to hear, God doesn't always give us children. After all, life is according to God's will, not our own. Submit to the Lord, make him your primary focus in your marriage. The biggest question one would have to consider, as it is the most relevant...is your husband a Christian?
Numbers 23:23 There is no magic curse against Jacob and no divination against Israel. It will now be said about Jacob and Israel, "What [great things] God has done!"
Deuteronomy 11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
So the question remains, do you believe in these other gods, these mediums by which you give credence? the which have no power over you that you listen to?
Or do you believe in the one true God which has kept you and called you as his own?
Christ=life
other gods/mediums=death, curse

.
The Bible or Word of God says that the sin of incest will result in barrenness, eg Sarai(= later Sarah) was barren because she married her half-brother, Abram(= Abraham).
... There may be other causes.

.
Consulting mediums is breaking God's Law at DEUT.18:9-14 and will result in speech, hearing or mental disorders, eg MARK.7:32.

Those who consult mediums/witches/shamans(= agents of Satan/demons) to put spells or charms or hexes on others will be struck with schizophrenia or madness, a kind of demon oppression and/or possession.

Thank you MyGivenNameIsKeith! Your interpretation speaks volumes about what is happening in my life. I have been dealing with this problem for years now. Since I became a Christian, by God's Grace He helped me forgive my father but the feeling wasn't mutual. My father hated me to the core because I caught him cheating on my mom and told my mom about it. His life was never the same... I tried to approach him but he always avoided me and would bad mouth me to family and even friends.

I honestly feel tired of trying to explain myself to my relatives. I found it useless because it just always falls on deaf ears. So I was just shock to hear about my uncle's message but all of you (people who responded to this thread) are right. There is only one God which leads to life and the others leads to death.

Honestly, my husband(also a Christian) and I are not really worried or stressing about having a baby. Yeah it was a bit of a struggle before but we have finally accepted for God's will to be done in our lives. Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.

Amen to that discipler7! Thanks for reminding me about this so I can stay focused on God!

Don't worry it's not incest at all. There are other possible reasons for it but yes, if it's God's will, I will gladly accept it.

Having a child was one of the first things you mentioned. Although it is quite pertinent, it is, overall, irrelevant due to the fact that this is a spiritual issue, not a physical one. But I digress, it has been made clear that it is in the forefront of your mind and weighs upon your heart. Otherwise, it would not have been one of the first things you said. It is apparent that you are understanding the correlation between what is godly and what is not in the scope of God's plan for your life. Keep in mind, that children are a gift, a reward, a blessing. Abide in God's will, and trust in Him and you shall see the desires of your heart fulfilled. Be patient.
Psalms 127:2-3 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Forgiveness is from God. I am glad you were able to forgive your dad. Likewise, we are able to forgive because Jesus forgave us. Hatred is a product of the flesh. Sexual immorality, desires of the flesh, idolatry, things like that are not of God. In like manner, most people who do not have God in their life and are given over to their own selfish, lustful nature are jealous of what we as Christians have. The world cannot understand it because it is not of the world. Telling your mom about it was not something he hated you for. Because he knew it was wrong, yet chose to do so, but did not feel bad about it. When you said something, it became known. You were bringing the wrong to light so that reconciliation could be made, not to bring punishment. You did so out of love for both of them, and also on your mom's behalf because she was seen in your eyes as innocent and you wanted to protect her. You knew that concealing the matter was not good. He was angry with you because he got caught. Darkness and light do not mix. Therein lies the conflict. You need not carry guilt around about it.

If you have a dream and feel that perhaps God gave it to you, prayerfully examine the Word of God and make sure your dream is in agreement with Scripture. If it is, prayerfully consider what God would have you do in response to your dream (James 1:5). In Scripture, whenever anyone experienced a dream from God, God always made the meaning of the dream clear, whether directly to the person, through an angel, or through another messenger (Genesis 40:5–11; Daniel 2:45; 4:19). When God speaks to us, He makes sure His message is clearly understood.

You are spot on when it comes to me wanting to have a child especially during the first 4 years of trying. The doctor said, despite some minor issues, having a baby should not be a problem. So I guess I had this question ‘what else could go wrong?’ in my mind. It has burdened me for quite a while, and then I learned more about God’s word Isaiah 55:8-9 and was able to finally let go. I totally agree with the scriptures you quoted.

I honestly don’t really feel guilty about telling my mom but yes, my father was too blind to see that what he was doing was wrong. I felt sad and pained to see him live a sinful life so after coming to Christ, I cried out to God to touch my father’s heart and have a personal relationship with Him and to be a totally new creation (Galatians 2:20) but my father died before it happened.

I usually have dreams but not all have messages from God. This time I was a little confused because of my subconscious. Thanks for your advice I will prayerfully examine the Word of God and make sure your dream is in agreement with Scripture. You are right He is not a God of confusion 1 Corinthians 14:33


You see, I am still a newborn when it comes to the faith, so I greatly acknowledge everyone’s wisdom that was shared in this thread. I will keep on praying and repenting of any known sin the Holy Spirit tells me. I learned a lot from all of you! I can’t thank you enough.

 

[Hidden In Him]

I already repented of my sins and even prayed some deliverance prayers before I had this strange dream.

I strongly felt that there was a warning in the dream.

Greetings, AudreyKate. Yes, this dream was from the Lord. To receive this right after praying deliverance prayers is the key here, and it is a warning about what may happen when you come against this spirit that is attached to the curse, and has been assigned to keep you from bearing children. The meaning of the dream is that, when you do, it is going to attack your niece instead.

- Poorly Renovated House = Your family is correct here. You are a believer, and have been slowly "renovating" the spiritual condition of your immediate family. But you have not yet broken as free of the negative spiritual influences in your extended family as you needed to. As a result of your uncle's message, you are now about to disturb the cobwebs that have been there many years, and were never cleared away.

- "Looking around, I noticed" = This is what you are doing now. You are beginning to "see" things spiritually that need to be dealt with.

- "I decided to take them away with a long broomstick" = DECIDED to take them away. This wording means you will make a determination to come against this spirit in prayer, and earnestly, which is absolutely necessary when dealing with demonic spirits and curses. It may take some intensive prayers, but after making the determination the spirit is going to get revealed and then exposed as the dream suggests.

- Long Broomstick = You will remove the cobwebs at a distance... that is, you will be wise enough not to get "caught up" in the webs while clearing them away. It means you will not allow yourself to get caught up in fears of the curse keeping its hold in you. In the name of Jesus, now that you can see it, you will clear it away safely without getting caught up in fears.

- "As I was doing so, I saw a couple of small spiders (dead)" = Dead curses. As was mentioned, your life is in spiritual renovation. It suggests that other curses were actually placed on you as well, but these didn't survive. Whatever they were, you gained victory over these things somehow, or they simply didn't take hold in your life and heart to begin with, and so died prematurely in failure.

- "and a big one (like a black and yellow tarantula) that fell on the floor" = That it falls to the floor means this curse and the demon associated with it will be put under your feet, but with an unfortunate consequence. In the process of praying for your deliverance from this curse, you need to pray extensively for your niece at the same time. This is the warning you sensed, and the reason for the dream. Apparently this demon will claim the right to transfer to another family member, and your niece will be its next target.

- "I immediately wanted to kill the spider, but it bit my niece before I had the chance to kill it." = Here is the warning, as clear as day. Before you can "kill it," it will go after your niece.

- "She was crying in pain" = You may have a strong battle ahead of you, which is what waking up feeling tired and exhausted was representing, but you need to fight for the protection of your niece. She will experience terrible heartaches in her life as well unless you defeat this demon in prayer.

- "and I saw it was swelling" = It means the pain will continue to expand in her life, unless you protect her.

God bless, and let us know how things go. You should also present this at the Prayer Wall section of the Forum, especially as the battle progresses. The more people you have praying for you, the stronger and less worn out you will be.

 

[AudreyKate]

Thank you Hidden in Him! After I read your interpretation, It's like you know about everything that's going on with my life. I was just at awe the whole time and cried... I thank God for all of your gifts to help explain the dream.

You are right, this dream came about the same day after repenting and praying for deliverance. I felt that there was a warning but I don't understand the involvement of my niece. After you explained it, I just had goosebumps. And with all the answers here, things became much clearer.

I'm aware that dreaming of spiders is not a good one. I dreamt of spiders(big ones) even before but usually failed to kill them. I just felt terrified and would run away from it in my dream but now, I had the courage to kill it because it was causing harm to my niece.

It's true, I felt that my progress of getting my house (family) in order was rather slow because it was hindered by all the hurt, anger, abandonment, lies, false religions, witchcraft, and more. It has been like this for years but nothing is impossible with God that in His perfect timing, everything will be good again. (Forgiveness, healing, and salvation)

Yes, I was wondering why her(niece) my husband said maybe because she's next in line when it comes to daughters in the family, I dunno but I will take your advice seriously and would pray for the blood of Jesus to cover her and even continue to pray for any curse to be broken (past, present, future). I felt like I have now gone to the next level of my faith because God has opened my eyes to really see what Spiritual battle is all about and it's just the beginning. Thanks for the prayers and suggestion to have others pray for us as well. God bless!

 

[Hidden In Him]

I'm aware that dreaming of spiders is not a good one. I dreamt of spiders (big ones) even before but usually failed to kill them.

Yep. I had a dream about two large black spiders not that long ago, and they represented similar things; two people succumbing to the influence of demonic spirits. Demons in the form of fat, round, black flying bugs (like June bugs) were attacking these two spiders, and instead of the merely killing them the spiders were wrapping them up in webs and eating them, which represented consuming spirits of anxiety and thereby being deceptively overcome by them.

Needless to say, it was not the most wonderful imagery, LoL.

Btw, your husband sounds correct. That was my impression as well. They go after the next in line in a family - the next closest in line to potentially bear children - so that would make perfect sense.

God bless you, AudreyKate, and keep in touch.

 

[AudreyKate]

Wow! I guess it is really true that we are dealing with Spiritual battles everyday...

You and the others as well really have a great gift of dream interpretation. I felt more at peace and even stronger because now I know my real enemy. See you around! God bless you and your family
