Illustrated Dictionary Of Dream Symbols – Joe Ibojie

What follows is helpful in determining whether the storyline is correct: * All elements will agree with or fit into the plot. * All actions will fit into the context of the plot. * If only one or two elements do not fit with the plot while the majority of others are in agreement, then the derived “meaning” of the symbol is not the appropriate one. Therefore, check other meanings of the symbol.

If more than two elements don’t fit into the plot, then be sure to review it. Proclamation: declaring God’s sovereign message in the dream with the Holy Spirit’s help. The proclamation must be based on why the interpreter perceives that God sent the message. Therefore, proclamation is more than mere compilation of a correctly derived meaning of symbols; it includes the interpreter’s attempt to declare God’s mind in sending a vision.

Unfortunately, most dreamers are satisfied with just seeing dreams come to pass. But some dreams and visions may be given for the purpose of influencing future events; intercession can avert judgment or bring promises into reality. Application: bringing the message and the dream’s wisdom to practical usefulness in the dreamer’s life. Symbols To interpret a dream, we must think symbolically.

A symbol’s meaning must be revealed to the dreamer for each dream. The same symbol may be different for distinct dreams, even though certain symbols may be used more commonly for some people. One meaning of a symbol is not necessarily its meaning for all dreams. Also, do not get fixed on a symbol’s single meaning because it may change as you grow in your walk with God.

As you study the Word of God, you will draw less on your own life experience and more from a biblical reservoir of examples. We must interpret symbols from a life with which a dreamer is familiar. Each symbol may have a unique association, as drawn from the dreamer’s own experience. Symbols are not used haphazardly—they are specific and purposeful. In addition, there are particular symbols that cannot represent certain elements; for instance, being enticed by a prostitute could not represent the move of God, as we are tempted by the desire of our flesh.

If a symbol’s inherent meaning conflicts with a meaning derived from God’s Word, then a biblical understanding of symbols takes precedence over any other possible meaning. The scriptural meaning always supersedes.
