General Principles of First Things to do with a Dream

Dream Interpretation Principles

You recalled a dream. What do you do first?

1. Is the dream only ruminations of the mind? If so, disregard it. The mind is so convoluted with fear, selfish ambition and other false information that analysis becomes a complicated maze best approached only by veteran analysts with a lot of time.
2. If you have a "real" dream, is it from the Kingdom of God? If it is not, just forget about it and do not even mention it to others. A false dream gives some value, however. The false dream originates from darkness, from evil. It intends to deceive, corrupt and ruin. Look at the disinformation and misguidance of darkness. When you begin to see the hallmarks of fear, you will more ably reject false dreams. Further, you will more easily identify other dream workers and dream teachers who walk in deception.
3. Keep good notes. Reviewing notes stimulates recall. 
4. Pray for recall, understanding, wisdom and interpretation in dreams and in all things. Natural intuition signals us when negative people and negative influences attempt to contact us. Be aware of this inner heart knowledge. Your heart IS you. It will not betray you. You do not need to train your heart. It knows how to recognize truth.
5. Is part of the dream real, and another part bogus? Remember: the devil has come to "steal, kill, and destroy". One of the ways he does this is to "tag on" a false addendum to a real dream or vision. When praying for an interpretation, if something feels wrong, one question to ask the Holy Spirit is if part of the dream is false, or if all of it is false. 

Part of Tooth Falling Out - Dream Interpretation

My wonderful grandmother passed away in March, 2011. Just a few days before, I dreamed this dream:

I see a tooth. On the side is a spur. This spur has been constantly agitating me. I run my tongue along the line of my teeth on the lower left side. The spur is gone. I check again. It is gone. I tell my wife, “You know that spur which has been agitating me for so long? It’s gone.” This feels good.

Then, the tooth is shown. The spur is absent. Also, I see the center portion come out. It looks like a little mountain. It is pure white at the top, but a bit yellowish near the bottom. The remaining tooth looks like a ring of mountains, with just pink gums in the interior.

Manifestation:

Shortly after this, I received the last contract from my father, for whom I have performed engineering for the last 4 years. His business style is very pushy, controlling, and unreasonable. Since I no longer work for him, I still have the same income, but far less stress and tension.

However, just two more days later, my grandmother (my father’s mother) passed away.

Dream Interpretation:

Tooth falling out interpretation: The center portion of tooth represented my grandmother passing away. Toward the end of her life, she had a lot of peace. She forgave every person who ever wronged her, and spent time praying and reading the Bible. This is the white peak. Because she always prayed, and because she had such great love, this is a loss for me. I have lost a source of enrichment in my life. A tooth is a means by which we sustain ourselves. Teeth process our food in the process of ingesting it. So also the prayers of my grandmother were a form of processing he will of God and praying it into my life.

Tooth spur falling out dream interpretation: This represented the work & income I received from my earthly father. Just as the tooth spur falling out removed an annoyance, so the end of our work relationship ended a lot of tension.

Third party relevance:

This dream is interesting from the perspective of my father. From his position, he first fired me, cutting me out in a way. Second, his mother died. Three generations are like a flower. The stem is my father. The root is his mother. The head of the flower is me. He cut off the head. Once that is broken, the roots die.
