Prophetic Dreams

You will know if your dream is very intense and different from other dreams. Also, many dreams won't come through until much, much later.

Then again, many dreams don't really have any meaning.

But I'm a firm believer in God speaks to you through dreams.

I, and others in my family, have many instances of that.

Also, I noticed there are two types of dreams in that regard. There are the dreams that have to do with you personally, so warnings for instance. Then there are dreams that are geopolitical or bigger picture of what's going on in the world.

Example 1, I was walking with my mom years ago in a dream by the flowers and then she just disappeared, I feared it meant she was going to die. I thought it was weird, because my sister was the person who usually took my mom for walks. Fast forward a couple years later I end up living with my mom, she gets really sick, I take her for walks, and she's barely coherent, and these beautiful purple flowers are in bloom as I'm walking her, so I knew then that dream was to pass.

Then more bigger picture, I had dream years ago, way before COVID and I was at work, working in manufacturing type company at the time, and all of a sudden everyone disappeared and everything went really slow, like slow motion, and the place was empty, just empty. I believe that was more geopolitical on slow down of economy, many people laid off there too.

A more geopolitical dream would be, for instance, my son, when he was a teen, before the Bush election, dreamt that Bush won and he saw him stumbling out of a building that had turrets on top, like Middle Eastern building, and he was stumbling out of that building with a bloody nose. I knew that meant Bush would win and then we would go to war, bingo, that's what happened.

Then a few years later, right after Crimea was taken, he had dream he was talking to Putin and he asked him how long does it take to take over a country or something to that effect, and he said a couple of years, so I knew that Putin wasn't done with Ukraine at that point.

I ask because a dream of somebody’s death came true about a month later. Exactly how I dreamt it. At the time of my dream I felt it was just another dream because there was nothing substantial about it.
I’ve had some very powerful dreams some which come true. Just trying to know which ones are alerting me.

You pray about the dream. Ask for understanding and a second witness.

And you listen.

Sometimes a second witness will be someone else's dream or understanding, so telling the dream can help.

"let the prophets judge the prophets" is a saying by a prophet. One dreamer will sometimes have the interpretation to another dreamer's dream.

Sometimes the second witness will come out of nowhere, a circumstance, a fact you learn, a comment, or event.

This is very good point too. Sometimes you just have a dream, very vivid and strong, but you just keep it in mind, but then something comes up, like someone else has that dream or you see events unfolding, then you know the dream to be more of a warning.

I don't like to say prophetic either, because just because God gives you some sort of insight in your dreams, doesn't mean you're a prophet.

a lot of glp asshats think that because it's a doom dream it's prophetic
yep, that's their reasoning

For me, any dream in which I take personal participation is just a dream. It may be a dream shared with somebody else (who is close enough for both brains to get "in sync" at the same moment... with a maximum range of some 20 miles, apparently), but it's still just a dream.

Any "dream" in which I am a mere ("incorporeal") observer, and no more than a speck of consciousness floating around a scene, is potentially something real that my brain is picking up from the "future" (some information that has survived time reversals which are happening literally all the time, both short- and long-term... and this kind of a "dream" is not bounded by either time or range).

Such information may be originally mine (less common), or just something that my brain is "in resonance with" at the moment it picks it up in a "dream" (much more common).

It's like flipping a book of time to a random page, and reading a random sentence from it. Most of the time, I have to "reconstruct" the whole book from just that one sentence. Of course, that's impossible to do absolutely correctly, but I'm satisfied with good enough results, too. It's also a good exercise in (correctly) modeling real-world events when you only have access to extremely limited information.

I've picked up things from thousands of years ago, as well as things from decades in the "future" (at the time of "dreaming"). I never know what I'm going to see next, but that's how I like it.

After having 2 of those death dreams, plus other prophetic dreams come true,
I realized the dreams were there for me to warn the people I was dreaming about.

So now whenever I have one, I tell the person of the dream and ask them to be careful for a month.

From my experience, the dreams come from a few sources, from our subconscious minds, directly from the Divine (prophetic), or from some other (benign or malicious) spiritual or physical forces.

The prophetic dreams that come from the Divine, have a very distinct unique message in them, are relatively orderly (logical) compared to the subconscious ones, are intense and can be repetitive if the first time is not enough for the person.

As said, for these special kind of prophetic dreams you got to wait for them to come true. In a remote case when they aren't validated within a reasonable timeframe, it means that God has some other intention for you which will be known in due time. In these last cases I usually forget about them, to be stored in some remote mental space in my memory.
