I have had some very vivid and 'real' dreams involving dead relatives, but I don't believe it was them contacting me, or god trying to get something across, but myself wishing that persons was still alive and able to communicate with me.

Jesus has contacted me in my dreams two or three times. And, I had one dream in which I believe God gave me a preview of Heaven.<br /><br />So, for me, the answer is decidedly "YES!"<br /><br />Just last night, or very early this morning, I had a dream that I believe was intended as a message to me from the spiritual realm.<br /><br />The dream was very vivid and, like many of yours, it had lots of details and a story that seemed to go on for a considerable length of time.<br /><br />The funny thing is that some of the details included things that have been in my mind over the last few days, but they were twisted in some way in the dream.<br /><br />For example, just last night I left a comment on Bryan's blog, 'A BEER FOR THE SHOWER', in which I remarked that I liked his (black striped) "Pat Metheny Shirt". <br /><br />Well, in my dream, Bryan's shirt turned up being worn by my old friend Eric, when Eric entered a bar called ‘Jack Daniel’s’, where I was hanging out with my brother Nappy's friend, Mike. <br /><br />Now, I just happened to mention Eric to Bryan the other day in the comment section of my own blog. I deliberately, jokingly mixed up Bryan's best friend Brandon with my former best friend Eric. Then Eric shows up in my dream wearing Bryan's shirt while I’m hanging out with Mike, my Brother’s best friend. Pretty funny how best friends and the shirt were all mixed up in this bar scene.<br /><br />Then there were the two Mafia-looking characters wearing suits, ties and Frank Sinatra-like hats who I was heading toward a fight with. Some buxom blonde wearing a tight, shiny gold lame circus dress and waving a lit sparkler around in the bar. It was as if every “type” of person you’d find at Venice Beach on a typical Summer Saturday was jammed into that bar. And there was a pudgy Black waitress who showed up at the very end of the dream. She sets down her pad, leans over the table, pen poised above the pad, and she just looks at me. “Order now?” I ask her. “Order now,” she replies. <br />*END OF DREAM*<br /><br />Despite all the wacky stuffs in the dream, in the end, I woke up with a clear message that I feel was the main point of the whole dream: I have been really uptight and in a bad mental place for the last approximately two years. And I feel the dream was telling me to just "Relax, trust God, and enjoy what's left of my ride through this life, because there's a good place waiting for me in the spiritual realm once this physical life is done.” <br /><br />A crazy dream delivering a good, clear, spiritual message.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

But, I admit, I don't really know anything about God speaking to me.....What I do strongly believe is that some dreams are conversations between me and me.

Or was I reassuring myself about his loss and lack of communication? I'd like to think he spoke to me. In general, I think God communicates with dreams when it's the best way to get his message across.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028635002644119824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-59103968407617139652013-07-11T12:47:16.011-07:002013-07-11T12:47:16.011-07:00Lee-

While I have said in the past I do not think God speaks to us, I do believe that through dreams would be the one way He might.<br /><br />I really do not remember my dreams, so if He is talking to me, He's getting the dream equivalent of a busy signal.<br /><br />LCDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-20095100817938504172013-07-11T12:15:14.138-07:002013-07-11T12:15:14.138-07:00I've never had God speak to me in a dream, but...I've never had God speak to me in a dream, but I did have a spiritual dream right after my grandfather and favorite dog passed away.

I had a few dreams about my dad after he died and a particularly uncanny one right before Christmas the year he died. I dreamt that he called me and said "I sent you that thing you wanted." And hung up. It was so real. I made sure that I told a few people about it just in case and they were all pretty blown away when Christmas Day arrived. I opened up a gift that my mom sent, and inside was the cobalt blue 1979 Christmas decanter that they had in their decanter/bottle collection that I have coveted since 1979. Ever since I was 14 I would say over and over, 'don't ever give that one away or get rid of it, I want it. OK? Promise?' Of all the years for my mom to send it, and I have that dream that dad called to tell me he sent me 'that thing I wanted.'
