Dreams

Does anyone have a faith-building reason for bad dreams? I know that great believers had prophetic dreams in the Old Testament and will again in the end times...but what about a reason for dreams right now that (hopefully) aren't prophetic?

In the past two weeks, in my dreams, I've been kidnapped, stabbed, in two airplane crashes, drowned, attacked, Jonathan has died and Ace has gone underwater enough to terrify me. Last night alone, in two different dreams I went down in a burning plane and one that crashed into the water. I've woken up shaking, crying and even trying to shout...which came out more of a moan and woke Jonathan up. Fortunately, he's willing to hold my hand so I can calm down and go back to sleep.

I've been praying against dreams and that I can get back to sleep once I've woken up. Any suggestions? This is really getting out of hand. I know faith is made perfect when we have no fear...my dreams have been making me live out every fear and they are still there. Just wanting some good sleep.

Get Jonathan to pray aloud over the room with you to renounce any spiritual warfare going on- Satan is looking to make you fearful for sure!

I'm with Kate! And I'll pray for you too.
