Learn from Your Dreams

Whitney Hopler

The dream you had last night could be much more than just random thoughts or a reaction to a bedtime snack. God still uses dreams to communicate with people, just as He did in biblical times.

Sometimes God uses dreams to help your mind process subconscious thoughts and feelings. And sometimes, God Himself or one of His angels may speak to you through your dreams. Either way, dreams can be a powerful communication tool for God to reveal messages designed to help you grow as a person.

Here are some ways you can learn from your dreams:
