4. Presentation
• Thank you for your interest
and participation in this
Seminar

5. In this Seminar we will learn about
Interpretation of dreams and visions,
we will focus as well in trances and
ecstasies as many of these
instances have happened in the OT
and NT and are even happening
today not just only to believers but
to unbelievers as well.
• Get ready to bring your dreams and
visions for interpretation.

6. • I have participated in different
seminars about dreams, also I have
read quite a good number of books
on the subject, the ideas that are
expressed here are taken from those
participations and from the reading
of the books mentioned ahead; most
of them from a Christian perspective.
• So my sharing in this seminar will be
from a Christian Biblical point of
view.

7. • A good percentage of what is
share in this teachings are my
own experiences, revelation
received from the Lord, and
hours of putting in practice
what I have learned.

8. The Bible shows us
clearly that

9. Numbers 12:6 (NKJV)
• 6 Then He said,
• “Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the LORD, make Myself known
to him in a vision;
I speak to him in a dream.

11. •DREAM
•DREAMING
•DREAMER

12. Dream definition
Dreams are a succession of
images, thoughts, sounds,
smells, feelings or emotions
passing through the mind
during sleep.

13. The Importance Of
Dreaming
• Researchers agree that
there is a purpose and
importance to dreaming.

14. The Importance Of
Dreaming
• It is found that deprivation of
REM sleep causes over-
sensitivity, lack of
concentration and memory
loss.

15. The Importance Of
Dreaming
• People who are deprived
from entering the dream
phase of sleep or the REM
stage, exhibit symptoms of
irritability and anxiety.

16. The Importance Of
Dreaming
• Dreaming is a very
important role in your well-
being and health.
• Some researchers believe
that dreams help you to
tackle stress.
•

17. Dreaming
• Dreaming is a necessity and
helps to recharge the mind
and revitalize the body.
• Dreaming immerse us in a
virtual reality formed by
images, sounds, thoughts
and or sensations.

18. Dreaming
• The thoughts that we have in
our memory when awakening
can be simple ones ( an image,
a sound, an idea, etc.) or very
elaborated ones.
• The most elaborated dreams
contain scenes, personages,
sceneries and objects.

19. Dreaming
• It’s being verified that dreams
can happen in any phase of the
human sleeping. However, those
occurring in the phase REM
(Rapid Eye Movement) which are
more elaborated can be
remembered better

20. Dreams in the Old
Testament
• God speaks a lot through
dreams. He does it to the rich
and to the poor, to the old and
young, to His people and to
heathen

21. GOD COMMUNICATES
WITH US
• Our God is a God
that likes to
communicate
and interrelate
with his children
• Acts 2:17
(NKJV)
• 17 ‘And it shall
come to pass in
the last days,
says God,
That I will pour
out of My Spirit
on all flesh;

22. •Your sons and your
daughters shall
prophesy,
Your young men shall
see visions,
Your old men shall
dream dreams.

23. Some people
say I never
dream
• James 4:2 (NKJV)
• 2Yet you do not have
because you do not
ask.
• Ask to the Lord to give
you dreams and He
will!
However the
bible says
that we don’t
have or do not
receive
because we
don’t ask for it

24. Through dreams God releases
wisdom and knowledge
Wisdom & knowledge
• 1 Corinthians 12:8
(NKJV)
• 8 for to one is given
the word of wisdom
through the Spirit, to
another the word of
knowledge through
the same Spirit.
Ha, is just a dream…
• There is some
people that despise
dreams, but God
uses them to
communicate, so we
shouldn’t discard
them.
• Some dreams are
even prophetic ones.

25. Necessary is to say that
Not all dreams come from God
• Ecclesiastes 5:3
(NKJV)
• 3 For a dream
comes through
much activity,
And a fool’s
voice is
known by his many
words.
• Therefore we need
to understand
what our dreams
are telling us, they
will show us
where our heart is

26. DREAMS ARE SYMBOLIC
AND AS SUCH YOU NEED
TO DECODED THEM

27. God in our
dreams
• Dreams will show us our
situation; but we need to
understand that dreams are
symbolic.
• Do you remember Jacob’s dream
about the ladder to heaven?
• Or the sheaves of his brothers
bowing down to his?
• The sun, moon, and stars
bowing down to him?
• Pharaoh’s dream about the cows
and the head grains
• Pharaoh’s cupbearer dream?
• Pharaoh’s baker dream?
The majority
of dreams
that we have
are from God,
but they are
symbolic.

28. Activation Number 1
• Connect the following pictures
with the dreams related in the
bible.
• Create your own book of
symbols and meanings.
• In this way you will increase in
wisdom, knowledge, and dream
revelation.

29. Jacob’s dreams

30. Joseph’s interpretations

31. Pharaoh’s dreams

32. The Midianite’s dream

33. Your dream

34. In His hands…

35. WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS
ABOUT DREAMS?

36. GOD seals instructions
in us
• Job 33:14-18 (NKJV)
• 14 For God may speak in one
way, or in another, Yet
man does not perceive it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the
night, When deep sleep falls
upon men, While slumbering
on their beds

37. • , 16 Then He opens the ears of
men, And seals their
instruction. 17 In order to turn
man from his deed, And conceal
pride from man,
18 He keeps back his soul from
the Pit,
And his life from perishing by
the sword.

38. Get ready to receive
your dreams.
• Learn by heart the following
scriptures and recite them
while you are about to go to
bed.

39. 1 Corinthians 2:16
(NKJV)
• 16 For “who has known the mind
of the LORD that he may instruct
Him?” But we have the mind of
Christ.
• You can receive revelation from God, you can come to
know His secrets, He will seal in you instructions.

40. Proverbs 3:24 (NKJV)
• 24 When you lie down, you will
not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your
sleep will be sweet.
• The bible affirms you that you can have peace and enjoy
your sleeping time.

41. Psalm 4:8 (NKJV)
• 8 I will both lie down in peace,
and sleep;
For You alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety.
You powerfully declare that you trust in God Almighty to
keep you safe in your sleeping time,

42. Preparing to receive
your dreams
• You stand in your WATCH
• In other words, you wait for the
dream to come.
• Prepare yourself for an
interactive dream!

43. Habakkuk 2:1 (NKJV)
• 2 I will stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will
say to me,
And what I will answer when I
am corrected.

44. • God responds to your desire.
• He asked the prophet and now
is asking you, to write down
what you receive in your
dreams and your visions in a
simple way.
• Your writing will speak to you
even in the future.

45. Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)
• 2 Then the LORD answered me
and said: “Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.

46. • It happens in God timing, not in
ours.
• We cannot hurry God.
• Don’t even attempt to “help”
God making things to happen.

47. Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV)
• 3 For the vision is yet for an
appointed time;
But at the end it will speak,
and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.

48. • KEY # 1:
• Put aside the concerns of the
day when you go to sleep.

49. • KEY # 2:
• Speak to your Spirit, to your
soul, to your senses to be
attentive when the dream
comes

50. • Key # 3:
• Speak to your heart to gently
wake you up when the dream
ends.

51. • Key # 4:
• Write down your dream, if it’s
too early in the morning, write
down main points of dream and
go back to sleep.
• In the morning write down your
dream completely and in a clear
way.

52. Let me alert you…
• You can go to thousand
seminars, you can study the
subject with the best ones in
the matter, you can read all the
books on the topic and still
achieved little.

53. It’s not about the type of seminar.
It’s not about the speaker.
It’s not about the church.
It’s not about the place.
It’s about how much you really
want to give away of what you
have received.

54. • If you want to progress in the
anointing of the Gifts that God
has giving you, it doesn’t matter
how little you may have, use it
up and passed on! God will
honor your effort and grand you
an increase on the measure of
your gifting and anointing.
