Can a dream be a Sin?


Recommended Posts

So, I had a dream last night and it kind of freaked me out...

 

There was a tornado coming, then 2! There were children in my care but they weren't mine. Mine were safe visiting their grandparents.

 

There was a man. The "hero" I guess. He and I well, got REALLY "close". He was not my husband. I have NO idea who he was!!

 

I woke this morning and pretty much attacked my husband :D but my mind kept flashing the eyes of this made up "hero".

 

I have NO IDEA where this came from and feel like I did something wrong! I know I'd be hurt if my husband had a dream like this. (He's actually had an A in the past).

 

I don't know if I'd believe it was "just a dream" about no one in-particular.

 

Have I sinned subconciously?! Or was it just a silly dream w/no meaning? I've never met anyone w/eyes like the person in my dream. Just weird!

I wouldn't worry about a particular dream, or even a particular sin. Focus on who you are and WHY you sin. We aren't sinners because we sin; we sin because we ARE sinners. Again, don't worry about technicalities of what is/isnt sin. Focus on your soul and being right with God and repenting daily.

Thank You. You are so right. It just made me feel awful! I wouldn't ever.

 

I have prayed about it already and am right with Him*

 

Thanks for understanding that I was looking for clarity.

You can't control your dreams. They are your mind's way of processing the things you experience in reality. This dream may be your way of dealing with/coping with your husband's infidelity. You are not the type of person to have a revenge affair, but this is your mind's way of leveling the playing field, so to speak. It doesn't mean you would really do that if the opportunity arose, and you can't control your dreams, so you have nothing to feel guilty about.

Your mind cannot 'make up' faces. In dreams, there is no such thing as an imaginary person. The person you saw is someone you have actually looked at during your waking hours - but it could have been a simple glance, someone who came into your eye-shot.... not anyone you were looking at with any motive, intention or desire whatsoever.

There are some dreams that have meanings. I am not an expert on dreams though. :) I love to read about Joseph's dreams, as well as the dream Daniel interpreted, accounted in the Bible. :)

 

I don't think you've sinned. However, since you feel guilty, you could tell God (if you believe in God) about how you feel and ask for forgiveness. He understands everything and knows how our brains work. :)

 

I've had some weird dreams in my time, one that broke my heart because it was a nightmare. I was so thankful it wasn't true!!! I told God "Thank You Thank You Thank You that it's not true!"

 

Now, you might want to investigate your heart. How did this dream make you feel? Are you glad that the dream was not reality? I am glad you "attacked" your husband when you woke up. :) To me, this shows that you love your husband very much and do not want to cheat on him with anybody!!! :) So, I would just consider this dream to be a "test" that you passed since you love your husband and "attacked" him with your love, instead of not loving your husband. :)

Thank you for the replies.

I have tried to think where/when I may have seen this person. Right now I don't even remember what he looks like at all. So Weird.

I'm not fantasizing at all about how what happened in my dream. I frisked that right away! yuck!

Leveling the playing field is something I didn't think of... I still don't think I would want to level the field like that as I have forgiven him and the thought of well, yuck again on that.

I prayed about it and basically asked for forgiveness because I figure if I feel guilty then maybe something in my heart isn't "right". I asked God to Definitely give me MORE dreams like that BUT with my husband's face and bod because frankly, my husband's Very attractive to me **blush**.

 

I am wondering if maybe the dream (besides being just that, a dream) was more about the "hero" part. I want my husband to be my hero and with the hum-drum of daily life, I think he (and I) get sidetracked and he forgets that I still need him as my hero and protector even if, at the moment, there is nothing to protect me from... save myself*.

 

Anyway,

Thanks for the replies! I am going to take my VERY embarrassed self and slink off to whence I came * :o:)

Why are you embarrassed? :) Don't be embarrassed!

 

It's ok. Yeah I want my husband to be my hero too!!! :love:

 

I will pray for you and your husband, and that y'all grow in your relationship and that he shows himself as your hero!:bunny::bunny::bunny:

 

It's good for couples to pray for and support each other. Marriage is a journey that can be really tough, so it's good to encourage each other. Don't be embarrassed about that!

 

There's a series my husband and I saw in the Bible study for couples about Emerson's book Love and Respect. It is great for men to be heroes and worthy of respect, as well as love their wives so that they would even lay down their lives for them! It is great for husbands to protect their wives and love her and help her to feel beloved, precious, and protected by him!!!

'whence I came', not 'TO whence I came'.

 

'Whence' already means 'from where'

 

I can't help you with dream interpretation, the least I can do is help you with the grammar.....

Pray for my marriage too! My husband and I love each other so much, yet it's so easy to not see eye to eye on things sometimes. We just recently had a fight about something that's important to me, but thank God that he understood me, we talked it out, compromised, and feel stronger because of that fight lol. We passed that test whew!

 

Marriages are so delicate and there's always temptations ready to pounce on and kill marriages, and since people are so unique (which is a good thing) it's so easy to not agree on everything, which can be a struggle too!

 

It's great for when married couples can support each other, both in prayer and in encouragement because we need it!:bunny:

When thoughts become "Sin" is when religion REALLY starts to turn me off. Telling me I don't even have freedom in my own mind.

Too many people (and no, I don't mean you!) believe that once the ring's in place, and the white frock is hung up, then the main work is over.

 

Sheesh!!

It's JUST BEGUN!!

 

marriage takes a lot of work, daily!

Things change, circumstances change, people change - they do - the person 'you' marry will change just as much as anyone else - and rightly so - !

Who wants to stay 24 all their lives!?

 

People need to evolve - it's a natural process. The secret is to accommodate and make allowances for those changes - both in 'your'self and your spouse.

Roll with the waves, and keep the boat steady.

Keenly;

Who here told you that on this thread?! I'd gladly have words with them :mad:

 

I am talking about MY faith and following not just the easy parts that I like but ALL parts less I be one of those hypocrites that we all dislike so much.

 

But if you have any input on my thread topic I'd gladly listen* (hopefully you'll just say, " it was a stupid dream for God's sake! Get over it and move on already!" said is a deeeeep voice) :)

I'm inclined to believe that whatever dreams we have, cannot change the intrinsic worth or goodness a person has. And I believe that sometimes, a dream is just a way of the subconscious entertaining you while you're keeping still for a moment.

 

Just roll with it, let it be, and put it down to a wandering mind process.

 

Anxiety over something you had no control over, is a futile exercise - we all have enough problems watching our step with things we DO have control over! Don't make it any harder for yourself!!

So true!!! Yeah I most definitely learned that once the ring's in place, the real journey/work together has just begun!!!

Oh my holy heaven!!

 

We are under a tornado warning right now!! How WEIRD!! :eek::D

 

Oooh!!! If a guy who's not your husband comes along, decide if you love your husband and want to be faithful to him, or if you want to break your promise to him and divorce him for some other guy... I really hope your husband "steps up to the plate" and becomes your hero!!!
