Symbols such as numbers, direction, colors, and animals, may all be of importance. The symbols in a dream can be negative or positive. You have to depend on the Holy spirit to reveal what the symbols reveal in your dream (negative or positive).

Write down your feeling towards objects and people. If a certain object made you afraid or if you felt drawn to a figure, make sure to mention it in your recounting of the dream.

God may give you a dream about an incident that happened in the past that’s hidden in your heart and that creates pain in your life so that you can then pray for healing.

For example, the Lion of Judah can symbolize Jesus. However, the devil is depicted as prowling like a roaring lion in the bible as well. Cats can symbolize evil spirits, or they can be seen as comforting. Dogs can also have positive or negative meanings. They can be man’s best friend, or symbolic of unbelievers. [3] X Research source

Try to understand the context. For example, if you see five golden rings it can be seen as 5 days, weeks, months or years if you see it in a context of time. Five can also be a representation of the five evil kings of Israel. [4] X Research source If you have lost five family members that are close to you, it might be a symbol that they are in heaven. You have to look at the number in the context of the rest of the dream to uncover the true meaning.

Other objects may be less obvious symbolic but still significant. Some examples could be as ordinary as an apple, coins, or candles. If you notice an ordinary object that seems important in the dream, it may be a symbol.

Many common religious symbols have recurred in dreams for different people. Serpents or snakes representing an evil. Nakedness representing closeness with God. Houses and their state of disrepair or beauty can symbolize the state of your spirit. These symbols are all common among dreams with religious implications. [7] X Research source

If you are under a lot of stress or extremely busy, your dream may just be your mind’s way of processing the day while you sleep. Sometimes you may even have a dream that seems religious, but doesn’t feel like a divine message. If it doesn’t seem significant or important, it may not be worth stressing out over the interpretation.

Ask yourself if this is an answer to a question that you have asked God. God can give you answers through a dream.
