types of foods different kind of animals different kinds of insects buildings places different people that might show up in your dreams weather body parts vehicles and then obviously also just random objects that wouldn't necessarily fall into any particular category so stick around if you're having a lot of dreams and you're not quite sure what they mean this might help you be sure to like and

that you are hoping for that's not actually in this video but at the end i will very briefly talk about how to understand god and how god speaks in dreams i've actually got a video specifically dedicated for that so i will also put a link to that video in the comments it's 14 or 15 minutes long but that should help you as well um but i will touch on it at the end of this video and i'll also be talking about reoccurring dreams um at the end of this video okay so i'm going to jump right in and forgive me if i look down as i have made a big list so that i don't forget anything all right so the first thing we're going to be talking about um are objects so different miscellaneous objects so the first thing is a camera if a camera shows up in your dream this is uh typically the lord is saying i'm going to give you a picture a snapshot of something to come you're going to want to keep keep this in your memory remember this basically checks checks speak about favor and provision god's provision crops talk about harvest time typically you would want to ask yourself what is happening in the dream so for instance is it harvest time in the dream or is it a season of plowing um take a look at the horizon what's the weather like is there a storm coming in these types of questions will tell you what the dream is really about crowns crowns speak of authority and reward credit cards speak about operating in presumption the lord might be saying to you be careful you're spending more than what you have or you actually um you're spending money you don't have so in other words if you believe you you're trying to walk in something that you don't yet have if you see doors in your in your dreams that usually talks about opportunity fruited trees now trees represent leaders a fruited tree will talk about a strong anointed leader they can also speak of healing a gate is an entry point for good or evil much like a hedge really it's that which keeps um the bad things out so again ask yourself well in the dream was the hedge broken um that might be the lord warning you you know you need to wear the full armor of god you've let your guard down some way something like that keys speak of authority and ability a ladder could talk about um depending on if you're going up or down the ladder either a demotion or promotion it also speaks of access into heavenly activity a microphone speaks of the ability to be heard it speaks of influence and authority over people money money can speak of either a loss or gain of favor um it can be positive or negative it could be speaking about god's provision in the negative it could be warning you about greed tv television this is talking about spiritual insights and it could also be speaking about your role as in tell a vision trees as i said these are speaking about leaders and mature believers windows windows symbolize the ability to see and discern bed bed speaks of your intimacy with the lord and rest chewing is talking about understanding if you think about food food is often talking about the word of god in the bible food represents the word of god meat being that for the spiritually mature so chewing talks about gaining understanding you've probably heard of the saying i need to chew on that for a while that's where that comes from it's just understanding the ability to to comprehend and discern christmas could be talking about the season itself a time or it could be talking in the negative it could be talking about commercialism it could even be speaking about a new season of receiving spiritual gifts new spiritual gifts circles maybe you've seen a circle circle speak of covenant much like a wedding ring um it's never ending has no beginning has no end in the opposite a square if you see a building that's a square it's usually speaking about being out of covenant if if the the shape is predominant what's predominant in the dream okay flying flying speaks about a prophetic call a calling to the prophetic things and moving in the realm of the spirit it can also speak about the ability to rise above your problems graduation um you would usually graduate when when the lord is showing you that a season has come to an end and you've completed something you graduate um in my own personal life usually i have these dreams before i'm being promoted to something new so from in my personal experience it's been a great dream um it's usually talking about there's a new season and there's promotion coming um pregnancy and miscarriage pregnancy speaks about god's promises um something new a new beginning and miscarriage speaks about losing some things um basically the promise of god um there's there's been an abortion there's been a the plans have been aborted god's new plans promises and purposes that particular thing has been aborted um well really that would be an abortion but a miscarriage would be losing something of a promise uh mag a mac speaks of a source of nourishment and it also speaks specifically about your call and your destiny water represents usually the holy spirit it speaks of salvation eternal life and cleansing rivers rivers speak of a move of god if um if the banks of the river burst it's talking about revival the move of god that was once contained is now no longer contained running speaks of running your heavenly race it talks about perseverance and faith and if you dream of your ex or um like returning to your ex or a sexual encounter this is talking about returning to old patterns and ways of doing things patterns of thinking it could also potentially be talking about generational and bloodline issues okay so the next category is clothing okay so let's say you have a dream about a bathrobe bathrobes are talking about either going into or coming out of a time of cleansing a coat is uh usually speaking of a heavier mantle a heavier anointing pajamas could be in the positive it could be talking about a time of rest and in the negative it could literally be god saying hey you're sleeping and wake up i've got i've got some work for you to do shoes talk about firstly the gospel of peace and also your destiny you're calling shorts if you're always wearing shorts in your dreams it could be talking about your your destiny your call only partially being fulfilled whereas if you were wearing long pants or three quarter pants it's talking it's a little bit more close to being fulfilled you've almost completed your full calling uh swimwear is talking about being able to move in the spirit unhindered obviously water being holy spirit and moving and things of the spirit of you swimming and then swimwear being unhindered in your ability to move in things of the spirit tangled clothing on the other hand this talks about there being some confusion around your calling and your destiny your shoes if you've worn them thin the soles are thin and holy this is talking about your relationship with the spirit of pieces wearing thin okay so the next category is weapons and listen if i'm going through a category and there's something that you really want to know be sure to put it in the comments um there might be many other people that are looking for that same thing and i will do my best to get back to you i might even do a video depending on how many people are actually looking for that thing okay so weapons a knife speaks about skill and discernment um in the in the positive on the negative it could also be speaking about the tongue and depending on how it's being used it could be the lord warning you don't use your tongue badly or in a way that's going to cause destruction arrows speak about a specific message like focus on this particular thing again speaks about far reaching authority this is usually that of an evangelist a prophet um a pastoral teacher one of those the fivefold ministry sword speaks of um in the positive the word of god and in the negative destruction okay the next thing is food apples speak about temptation we all know the story of adam and eve it also can speak of spiritual fruit bread speaks of jesus and the word of god grapes speak about fruitfulness honey speaks about the anointing the strength and wisdom milk speaks about elementary teaching the very basics of the gospel meat speaks about teaching for the spiritually mature water as i already mentioned is often used as describing the holy spirit and the word of god that which cleanses us you know the bible says that we to be renewed in our minds by the washing of the word wine speaks of the anointing of god but in the negative it can also speak about fleshly cravings love of the world love of worldly things things like that okay so page one done we are on to body parts your arm represents strength and faith um your arm and hand let's say something stops your arm and hand always trying to hip prohibit your arm and heal your hand from moving it's just literally saying god is warning you something's trying to come against that which you call to do with your you know the work of your hands a bald head a bald head talks about a lack of wisdom hair being talking about wisdom and a bald head would then represent a lack of wisdom a beard speaks about maturity eyes represent revelatory understanding spiritual insight teeth teeth that i already mentioned talk about um the ability to understand and grasp a matter that's where the saying comes from i'm going to chew on that eye teeth talk about the your actual ability to see so if you for instance lose an eye tooth god is saying you're losing spiritual insight and understanding the ability to discern hair as i said represents wisdom strength and anointing your hand can speak about relationship and healing an immobilized body part let's say your leg is paralyzed for instance this is um god warning you of a demonic attack the enemy is literally trying to stop something that you're called to do nakedness this is one that i get a lot nakedness is not a bad thing it's actually very good thing it's it's speaking about complete transparency and no ungodly motives uh nose speaks of discernment your ability to have discernment or not have discernment that reminds me i had a dream where someone's nose was bleeding and the lord spoke to me he has no discernment so that should give you an understanding a thigh thigh speaks of faith and a toe or your toes represent balance so if you have a dream where you're missing toes it's a warning saying things might be a little bit difficult because you're going to have to learn how to balance things and you don't have everything you need for balance okay so the next thing is animals okay the first thing on the list is an alligator alligators represent people of influence and it's usually a warning against the an attack of the mouth that actually can carry quite a bit of weight because it's usually someone of influence that's doing it a beaver speaks of um diligence and being industrious a bird speaks of spirits these could be good or bad a black horse speaks of famine and hard times a black panther speaks of occult and satanic activity of a high level camels speak of endurance and long journey awkward clumsy they're not very graceful animals cats speak of um predatorial um type of animal they're untrainable they're kind of sneaky they're deceptive um they have like a a charm about them but they're they're not easy to be around um cheaters this could be a play on words as in a cheater the kind of person that is not being honest it's a predator dangerous fast a cult speaks of a stubborn personality but it could also in the positive speak of a burden bearer someone who takes things upon themselves a crab would be talking about a sidestep or someone who's not easy to approach and like sidesteps issues dogs could be in the negative they're talking about unbelievers those people that don't know the lord but they also could be representing your friends you know the saying a man's best friend those that are loyal closest to your heart friendship basically a donkey again speaks of gentle strength it speaks of [Music] also a burden bearer remember christ was carried in by a donkey but it also represents someone who can be stubborn if they get pushed too hard eagles talk about a prophetic call fish speak of the souls of man that's why jesus said you know i'm gonna make you fishes of men he's gonna you're gonna help bring in the harvest of souls those that are uh not saved you're gonna get them saved um horses speak of power of significance um that can be good or bad power and a jellyfish speaks of um the jezebel spirit uh just remember like a jellyfish it looks like a fish but it has no heart okay so on to the next category insects ants and speak of industrious wise and diligent bees hornets and wasps these are usually in warning dreams it's warning you of a demonic attack a butterfly speaks of transformation locusts speak of famine and hard times roaches these are usually talking about unclean spirits um infestation um these are things that come out of come out at night things that are hidden that stay in the darkness uh scorpions are speaking about evil spirits and obviously these can be men evil men because they operate under evil spirits okay the next one which is quite a big list is buildings and places uh okay airports uh airplanes represent a large ministry like a church so an airport therefore would be a place for preparing and equipping ministries for launch an attic would speak about your past history um hidden things um it usually is talking about generational bloodline issues uh so if you have a dream where you're up in the attic and you're cleaning out the attic it's typically the lords were saying we're going to go through these hidden things we're going to work through your bloodline and generational issues like that it's auto repair shop this is a ministry with renewing capabilities the back porch is the ability it represents the ability to see and understand your past a basement speaks of hidden issues things underground bathrooms talk about a spiritual cleansing um can often talk about like a prayer of repentance um cracks if you see your walls have got cracks or your foundations have got cracks in them it's talking about you've let things go in some areas that they need repair um it's the same with electrical sparks um maintenance hasn't been kept up you've let things go and god is saying okay it's time to repair you need to get back in the word you need to relook at that area farms farms look uh speak about provision and growth specifically as i said foundations are talking about important issues that give longevity to that which you're building um the front porch i already spoke about the back porch giving is speaking about the ability to understand that which has happened well the front porch is actually the ability to see the future so if you're standing on your front porch and you're looking out it's usually god saying i've given you the ability to see and understand what's coming a garage now this is a place where you would keep your vehicle a vehicle being that your personal ministry your career your occupation so your garage would be a place where you would park your vehicle and rest a gas station speaks of the infilling of the holy spirit it's where you receive power hallways speak about times of transition hospitals speak of healing or possibly a healing ministry or if you find yourself in hospital in a hospital bed god is saying to you you're going through a time of healing and restoration home depot this is typically for people that have a building anointing they find themselves in home depot gathering things and the lord is saying i'm preparing you and giving you all the tools you're going to need to help build the church a house speaks of a ministry a church or your personal life situation kitchens speak about a place where you prepare spiritual food it's basically talking about going deep into the word of god leaking pipes that's similar to the cracks and the electrical sparks it's basically saying um you've let things go in areas and you need to pay a bit of attention and go back to maintaining things a parking lot is much like a garage it's where you would park for a shorter period the only difference is here you would be open to the elements and you won't have a roof over your head so it's going to be a place of race but you're going to have to be more aware of what the enemy may or may not be doing um okay so if you find yourself in a previous home this is talking about um it's actually a warning dream the lord is talking to you about going back to old patterns and ways of thinking prison prison speaks of those that are lost those are the that are in bondage they don't know the lord they're in rebellion things like that um roof speaks of spiritual covering um classrooms classrooms talk about a time of training um it could also be speaking about a specific teaching anointing that's on your life showers talk about um a cleansing god doing a work of cleansing things out of your life a stadium speaks of a place of great impact lots of people toilets again god removing things that may have a negative effect on you a double story would be talking about a double anointing tunnels also speak of times of transition much like always and windows i think we might have touched on this windows speaker spiritual insight vision and it could also talk about a window of opportunity depending on the context of the dream next on the list is people i hope i'm not going too fast for you you'll have to listen to it again if i am people babies babies talk about a new beginning or a new ministry and god's promises being birthed it talks about also the helpless or the innocent depending on the context of the dream a bride speaks about christ and also covenant relationship a carpenter could be representing jesus or even a preacher maybe um there's a preaching anointing there hijackers that's a warning dream basically it's the lord warning you that the enemy is trying to take control by force a husband if your husband shows up in a dream this could either be representing jesus or it could be representing your husband a lawyer jesus is our great advocate so typically if a lawyer comes to you to you in a dream it's representing the lord um it could also depending on the context of the dream talk about satan he's the accuser of the brethren um prisoners this is talking about lost souls um and then twins uh twins speak about a double blessing double anointing or in the negative it could be talking about double trouble now i will also mention um a lot of times when people come to you in your dreams it's um more to do with the meaning of their name or their occupation what they do and for instance i've had many people come to me and saying they had like a horrible dream and i was in the dream in their room it's not about me my name happens to be melanie and it means dark so if you had a dream where melanie comes to you in your dream and it's in a negative context and you don't feel good he's saying there's a dark area of your heart i'm wanting to to correct um so a good place to start is to find out what does that person do for a living let's say your preacher comes to you your pastor comes to you in a dream usually this is about a pastoral issue and he wants to actually give you some guidance in the dream on the other hand if a prophet comes to you in a dream it could be talking about this is a prophetic message um or this is something that you're called to do i hope that kind of clarifies that it's very i mean you can have dreams where it's actually about the person you're dreaming about but more often than not what i found in my dreams is that it's the person's name that's significant what they do what they what they represent okay the next thing on the list is weather tornadoes okay so tornadoes can come in light color or dark color if it's a white tornado that you see in a dream it's usually god bringing something to shake things up if it's a dark tornado a black or grey tornado it's usually the enemy and the enemy's planning attack and the lord's warning you so that you can pray against that it's the same with storms um a white storm would be something god is bringing a dark storm enemy attack snow white snow would be talking about the blessing and refreshing of god pure clean whereas if you find yourself covered or surrounded by dirty mucky brown snow this is talking about impure teaching it's not it's not good it's not kosher a blizzard is a warning about an attack that's going to affect your vision and the ability to see a snow drift talks about barriers opposition something that's going to stop you from moving forward clean rain talks about blessings and cleansing from god whereas dirty rain speaks about an enemy attack and also um bad doctrine if you have a dream about let's say your roof collapses and your household gets filled with dirty old stale water that's a warning that the house you're in in other words the church you're in is teaching bad doctrine as just as an example okay the last category on my list for today is vehicles um the first one is an airplane um i did touch on this before airplanes typically speak of a large ministry um if it's if it's a big airplane like a 747 or something small airplanes talk about a personal prophetical bicycles talk about an individual ministry one that requires perseverance hard work balance commitment a bus also speaks of a large ministry a church the size of the vehicle i will just say the size of the vehicle is is going to show you the kind of influence and authority you have because the more people you're able to carry in the vehicle the more influence and authority you have so that should also help you i'm a convertible speaks of a personal ministry it speaks of unhindered vision no roof it speaks of operating and an open heaven a fire truck if a fire truck shows up in your dream this is usually speaking about a rescue ministry on the negative though it could also be a warning that you know you're putting out the fire of god don't do that um a grounded plane if you find yourself in a a dream where the plane's been grounded it's talking about a time of preparation um basically it's a ministry that's being prepared for takeoff a helicopter talks about a flexible and maneuverable ministry one that is able to get in and out of the spirit really quickly and efficiently i'm a motor spa a motorcycle speaks of a powerful fast and easily maneuverable ministry but it is again limited it has limited um influence because you can maybe carry two people on a motorcycle an ocean liner on the other hand um speaks of a ministry a large ministry or it could be a corporation one that reaches nations the ocean just on a side note the ocean represents um people people groups so an ocean line is something that moves through the ocean is touching many people many different nations attractor tractor speaks about a slow powerful vehicle one that's designed for the hardest of grounds it's it's a vehicle that's designed to actually plow hard ground so you might see as an evangelist driving tractors if you go you know going to a people group that's never heard of the lord or a very antichrist things like that a pickup truck on the other hand is talking about a personal ministry that has the ability to transport and deliver well i hope that you have found this helpful as i said this was 150 symbols or just over 150 symbols i believe i did promise that i would mention how to understand god how he speaks in dreams and visions what i will say very briefly here is that god uses things in the natural the characteristics of things in the natural to get across a message as an example you'll see in the bible jesus is often spoken of as the husband and as the lion so the the reason for that is is he's talking about the characteristics a husband is the one that never leaves that never forsakes he's there through thick and then it's an everlasting never-ending covenant that's jesus in the same way a lion is known as the king of the jungle majestic all-powerful rules everything and again those are characteristics that represent jesus so that should give you a small quick brief understanding of how god speaks god uses the characteristics of things in the natural to explain in dreams with symbolism repeated dreams and reoccurring dreams a repeated dream if you're having it more than twice typically in what i've experienced myself is that what the lord is saying is that i'm giving you a message but you haven't quite understood so you have that dream until you have understanding you'll find at least i found in my own personal life when i've actually understood what he was saying that's when i stopped having the dream so if you're having a reoccurring dream that just keeps coming um there's a message hidden there so i would say to you spend time with the lord spend time in the word study out the word has that thing that you've seen happened in the word and what did it mean there and remember the bible says that it is the glory of god to conceal a matter but it is to the glory of kings to search a matter out he loves spending time with us so you go to him and pray and spend time with him you'll be shocked at what you what you hear him say if you actually make the time now if you've only had a dream twice and we see this happen with joseph and what it was what it really symbolized was that god had established an event and it was going to happen so if you have a dream twice it's literally the lord saying to you i've established this event in your life it will take place it will come to pass okay so as i said if there was a symbol here that or if there was a symbol that you were hoping to hear that wasn't in this video put it down in the comments if there's enough people wanting to know that about that same thing maybe i'll do a video but either way i'll do my best to come back to you um what i will say though is i have a great great resource if you go across to my website www.ctjministries.com you will find a book there that you can download it's called was that really god it's a biblical guideline in understanding how god speaks in dreams and visions you will get so much more than what you got here not only will i go into more detail for you on how god speaks in dreams and visions but for those that are really interested in understanding symbolism itself you'll have over 350 symbols explained in that digital book that you can download ideally our desire is to equip you so that you can understand how god speaks to you because dreams and visions this is not a cookie cutter approach you have to hear the holy spirit you have to understand what god is saying to you that's why it's really important that you understand how god speaks and not just the symbolism that being said seeing a bunch of symbolism and seeing what they mean it will give you a very clear understanding on how god speaks so i encourage you to go and grab that as well it will be a great resource basically at seven years of study i've been studying dreams and visions for seven years and everything i learned is in that one document um so it'll be great for you well that's it for today thank you for watching we've loved having you as always and as i said be sure to like and subscribe so you don't miss anything else god bless
