DREAMS & VISIONS
Throughout the history of all nations, dreams and their meanings have been regarded with a wonder and interest transcending mere superstition; indeed, far from being looked upon only as idle fancies, they have been studied for thousands of years by scientists, as a subject worthy of their attention and investigation, both as to their cause and their meaning.
In ancient times they believed in all good faith and reverence in Dreams.
The Scriptures say – ‘’ God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not..In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumbering upon the bed, then he openeth the ears of men and sealeth their instruction”.
Thus they looked upon dreams as direct messages from God, and regarded Angels as his chosen messengers.
Again in the Old Testament, one reads “Hear now my words; if there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known to him in a vision and will speak to him in a dream.” These words were spoken to Moses.
In these olden times, kings were not above seeking the services of soothsayers and dream interpreters. One of the best known examples is that of Pharaoh, when he dreamt of the seven lean kine and the seven fat kine. When he was troubled as to how to read this riddle, his chief butler, who already had his own dreams interpreted by Joseph, told him about the young Israelite prisoner. Pharaoh at once seized the opportunity, and Joseph versed in divining, read the seven kine to be the coming fat and lean years, of plenty and famine.
Another Biblical ruler, Nebuchadnezzar dreamt that he saw a great image of gold, silver, brass, iron and clay. But when he awoke, he could not remember the details of the dream. Accordingly he summoned the sorcerers and known dream interpreters, even sending for men in the Chaldeans, a race especially known for their gifts in interpreting dreams. He ordered them to not only interpret the dream itself but to tell him the full details which he himself had forgotten. Here surely was a problem indeed, and it is not surprising that one and all failed to produce an answer to these unreasonable demands. Equally, in those days of complete despotism it is not surprising that one and all were condemned to be put to death, amongst them Daniel, who “had understanding in all dreams and visions” and he appealed to the Captain of the king’s guard to stay his hand and allow him to try.
Then Daniel, we are told, not only succeeded in actually dreaming the dream himself, but convinced Nebuchadnezzar of the probable meaning. He thereby saved the life of himself and his fellow interpreters.
The dream itself is interesting, as it is one that might well be considered as an adventure into the future. The king had dreamt that this image was made of various substances; his head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his body and thighs of brass, his feet and legs, part iron part clay. Then they were all smashed and even the gold broke into pieces that became like chaff on the threshing floor.
Then Daniel interpreted the dream. The image was the welded kingdoms, over which Nebuchadnezzar ruled. He, according to David, was the golden “head”, the other kingdoms beneath him were to be broken up by wars, and only the one kingdom, that of Nebuchadnezzar, should remain triumphant to the end. This interpretation was not only pleasing to the king; it fulfilled the interpretation in every way, and made it as additional proof to the veracity of dreams.
There are countless other famous men in the world who have not been ashamed to take credence of their dreams.
Napoleon believed in his dreams, and probably had he followed their warnings, the retreat from Moscow might not have taken place.
Bismarck, the German minister, also believed in dreams and had his own dreams interpreted many times before proceeding on any momentous course of action.
It is exciting to share with you all these comments written many years ago but surely people should realise, in to-day’s world, that they need to understand and consider their dreams as important and part of their future.
Always encourage and discuss your dreams and visions for the future – it is great conversation and can lead to new adventures and new careers and relationships without you even knowing!

First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Kudos!|掲示板}

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours nowadays, yet I
never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth
enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made
just right content as you did, the net shall be much more useful than ever before.
