My ex and I were together for 5 1/2 yrs. We have two beautiful kids together. We split up in January and been living our own seperate lives. I found out that he had a new girlfriend in June and in late July I found out that they were getting married(mind you I have two of his kids and we lived together for 5 1/2 yrs and were never married). In all our time together as a couple I never had one dream about him. Then in mid July I began to dream of him. I had this dream over and over again for two days straight. I went a few weeks without the dream and then had the same exact dream for the next few days again. I'm so confused and dont know if my dream is trying to tell me something or is my mind playing tricks on me. My question is, do dreams have meanings? If so what am I supposed to be looking for to understand the meaning.

In the Bible there are lots of instances of people that were spoken to in "dreams"...I believe God/Holy Spirit can speak to us in dreams...I also believe the Enemy has the ability to come to us through our thoughts as well- conscious and unconscious. That is why it is so important to take each thought captive, but when we are asleep- that is sometimes hard to do right? Dreams are usually from what issues lay heavy on our minds whether we recognize it or not. I would say above all, give more validity to what is happening in your head while awake than when you are asleep. Make sure every thought and action from those thoughts are in line w/ God's will & word and not your own desires. If you are interested in finding out what your dreams mean, then find a reputable book at barnes and noble or someplace like that (make sure it is not a book by a fanatical witchcraft-type author or anything like that)...We have a book like this and use it when we have memorable or recurring dreams. The key seems to be to remember as many details as you can b/c they each can mean something that you would NEVER link it to....you may have some major personal event happen to you in a dream yet it is linked to "dental problems" or something like totally opposite of what you might think it should have to deal with based on dream interpretations. Colors, numbers, items, people, and what you are doing/feeling are all important to gain insight to what the dream may be pointing to. Focus more on your walk with God and taking care of your babies than what your ex is doing-or what the dreams may mean.... you can only control you and only you can take care of you. Do that with God in charge of it all and you will get through this tough season! Praying you have sweet dreams!
If you want to give me some detail in your dream I will be happy to tell you what this book says about it!

This comes from Pastor Miriam:
Dreams come from 4 main sources:
From God,
From the enemy (spirits of darkness),
From suppressed stuff we haven't dealt with that is trying to surface (almost always repetitive),
And as a 'discharge' of all the stored stuff in our brains, just all jumbled up.
It may or may not have meaning. The way I approach this kind of thing is to ask God to clarify and reinforce the dream if it's from Him, to remove it if it's from the enemy, and to show me any truth I've been avoiding if it's the third kind.
I hope this helps!
Pastor Miriam
