I keep dreaming about hell?

[Ultima4257]

So basically for the past couple of months and before I have been dreaming of hell and the frequency seems to be increasing. The first one I remember is I am riding a minecart with God down this tunnel. Then we stop at the entrance to hell and I know I am going in, but then God start to read me The Hobbit? The second one was I was going on this ride with my deceased mother and it was basically showing videos of hell and end time prophecy I think. The third one was I was having a coversation with my father about hell and he says if I continue I will cease to exist. The final dream I had was about God showing me these different rooms which contained portals to hell and they each had varying tortures in them. I went down one of them and I saw myself with a worm crawling on me and these beings were sexual assaulting me. In any case, are these dreams actually from God, or am I so obssesed with hell my subconcious is starting to spill over in my dreams?

What is keeping you from committing yourself to the Lord, if you have not already? I feel that these dreams may be the devil taunting you, trying to put you in fear and make you believe that you are beyond hope - UNTRUE - or to desensitize you to the whole notion.

What is the hobbit?

Don't laugh but I'm thinking of the thing from that movie. I can't even think of the name.

Absolutely correct. It is a novel by J.R. Tolkien, a prequel to Lord of the Rings.

So, having been warned by both parents and then by God Himself, are you sure you are His? If so, I believe you should write down what you've seen, so that others can read and understand the importance of being a believer.

My question was, do you think something has crept in somewhere? Seems as if something not of God is causing the dreams.

Maybe you are having a morbid curiousity of hell and it is manifesting in dreams of hell. Are you wrestling with be saved or not? I have experienced times of torment, waking visions and many visits to hell before. Not a place I wish to visit. None recently and prayer, service and listening (discerning the spirits) with the response of grace has helped.

I have had dreams where I was seperated into two groups and we were armed with rifles guns etc and had to fight each other out.

Other times I have had dreams where I was at a beautiful region (9 seperate areas each in the shape of the square) and there were lakes and grassy green areas where I can freely roam but I was too timid and just walked around rather than actually feeling the breeze onto my face. My christian friend was in that dream too but she was really enjoying herself, playing around with water and running across as if the conventional rules set by humans do not exist.


Anyway it was weird.

It can be a mixture of the two.

From my understanding, "hell fire", anyway, is what happens when one is in a state of unbelief and attempts to continue in that state of unbelief when evidence has been shown to a person that they are guilty in their unbelief.

That is one feels the fire.

Because one is in a state in unbelief, it is a state of being chained, and a state of drought of the soul. Stuck in that state, one can see those who are expressing evidence of belief against their unbelief and see them as though across an abyss they can not cross.

They see they are in outer darkness and weep and gnash their teeth.

They see the door is closed, and will not open.

They were already in darkness, just they did not know they were in darkness until that light of faith was shone on them.


The worm then is their mind trying to intellectually figure things out without trust. So, it can not.

And their own thoughts become as a neverending worm to them of torment.


There is a popular saying these days "there is no way out of Hell", but that is just a reflection of a lot of the teachings out there.


I found one can find themselves in a place regardless of how strong their faith where everything comes under question so much so that the only way out - regardless of how sure one's damnation or worthiness of damnation seems - not by anything one has ever done nor said, but solely by trusting God loves you regardless and inspite of anything one has ever done or said. Or believed.

That trust in God's unfailing love, really, seems to be the only way out.

Ultima4257,
What kind of movies do you watch and are you playing WOW or something like that? Or do you watch videos of hell visions on youtube? I was reading a lot on the internet about the end time anx got dreams of persecution. I doubt if that was from the Lord. Sometimes it's just what you read or see. It's not all that innocent. My husband was freeing angels in hell with his computergame, but he thought it was fun. He doesn't believe. I asked him to remove it from our house.

No WOW, but I do play violent video games, such as half life, skyrim and deus ex. As far as movies go I generally dont watch anything excessively demonic. I mainly watch action movies and dramas.

I was thinking what it could mean .. this may be your own concept of hell and the tunnel is much like regressive hypnosis therapy where people go down in an elevator or other metaphor until they get to the bottom of their mind. that the sexual violence and death were at the bottom part of it would make sense. because the bottom layer is usually the most difficult to control .. and has very little in common with your awake self.

i'm sure you'll figure it out. but on the off chance this is a subconscious manifestation. take it easy on yourself. judgment without mercy comes from a lack of mercy that you are sometimes not showing to others and also yourself.

Well I have been rather obsessive about hell for awhile, but I am not sure if it is just me, the enemy or God causing these dreams.

I play video games and do not have dreams of hell.

I think there is such a thing as negative faith or suggestibility, however, which if you believe something is intrinsically evil it can open doorways for negative miracles for you.

Or rhetorical statements designed to get you to see the opposite of what the statement seems to be saying.

 

[All4HISglory]

The issue is just that. Its hard to pinpoint where something is coming from when you are open to other things outside of God. I honestly think we are all exposed in some way but it seems from what you have shared here, that the doors that are open to you come more from something not of God. If not demonic in nature then from your own subconscious.

I say that because its my personal opinion that books/movies like "Lord of the Rings" is a form of witchcraft and sorcery. You throw in the video games you mentioned as well and IMO, open doors for the enemy to play around.

If at all possible, I would encourage you to fast and pray. But along with a normal fast, ensure that the fast is from video games/movies/books etc completely as well. Focus solely in reading Gods word and seeking His face through the Word. Listen for Him to speak through His written word so that you aren't potentially entertaining the voice of another.

Gods word says that His sheep knows His voice and to another they will not answer to. So make sure you can recognize just who is speaking to you. The safeguard I know is to seek Him through His written word and let Him speak through that until you know just where the dreams are coming from. He is His word

You got it!

You are moving away from GOD.
When you move from light, you get darkness...creating your own hell.(if you will).

If your light is darkness how great is your darkness.

Instead:
Use Faith, (trust) that you are forgiven.
That HE has a plan for you. That HE is in you, & you are in HIM.
The LORD is not far, as HE is really inside.
Heaven can start here.
(you don't have to wait).

HE is reading 'The Hobbit'.
Which is all about small people (perhaps with big hearts) but they know they aren't big, tough or strong. GOD turned Saul into Paul (small).
That is what HE is trying to teach you lately.
Its in humility that you get exalted.

I've got no idea what it is, but when I google on skyrim:
Religion

The pantheon of Skyrim consists of various deities. Most notably, the Nine Divines are worshiped. Specific deities venerated by Skyrim and her people include Alduin, Dibella, Orkey, Tsun, Mara, Stuhn, Kyne,...MolochShor is considered the father deity of the providence, as opposed to Akatosh, the chief Divine of Cyrodiil. Some scholars report that Akatosh and Alduin are the same deity, while others disagree

Sorry, I may be oldfashioned and hypercharismatic, but such worlds I think describe a place of hell and the characters demons.
My advice: Check it out and play Mario Kart and see if you dream better. It works with my kids. The oldest one had bad dreams and I didn't let him see some programs anymore and it was over.
I don't think the dreams are from God.
By the way, have you asked the Lord to forgive your sins and come in your life?

Hello Forge3--
When anyone has dreams like this it indicates that they are way too attached to material reality. To be underground means that you are a slave to material world gratification. So you much research your personal habits and thought patterns to determine where you can release from this preoccupation with materialism and turn your attention to the Lord. Now, I know that you are a Christian, but your habits and behaviors are very much material. Think deeply on this.
