Interpreting Symbols in Dreams

Now that we have laid a good foundation, let’s turn our attention to how to interpret specific symbols that appear in dreams. Again, the categories that appear in the next sections are not all-inclusive, but they will serve as a starting point as you get used to recognizing images in dreams as symbols and determining how to interpret them.

Colors

I have read in many different books and heard seminar speakers say that if someone dreams in black and white, it is always a demonic dream. But—as I am sure you have noticed—I strongly believe that nothing is always. I have had many godly dreams in black and white. Because I am a bottom-line, black-and-white person (meaning I am truth oriented, so I tell it like I see it), I have many dreams for which, upon awakening, I remember no colors at all. Yet I knew the dreams were from God. Also, I am very prophetic. To a degree, prophetic people are black-and-white, bottom-line people by nature. When I have colorless dreams, they are usually prophetic. Keep in mind that the context of the dream is the key, not necessarily the colors that appear. Still, colors in dreams are very important. I have provided an entire section in chapter 9 that includes my personal revelation concerning colors, as well as a biblical understanding.

Numbers

We have already discussed the significance of the number seven, but there is much more to understanding number symbolism in dreams. Yet another section of numerical interpretations, both biblical and numerical, appears in chapter 9. You will want to refer to this list often as you continue to interpret dreams and visions. Numbers are both factual and fascinating; they have always proven to be keys to unlocking much interpretation.

That is why it is very important, upon awakening, not only to try to remember if there were specific numbers in the dream but also to jot down the time you awoke. Many times I have awoken and looked at the clock to see the time was 3:33. I know from previous experience that when the Lord speaks to me in the form of three 3s, He is probably speaking to me about Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” That is confirmation that if I ask the Lord the meaning to my dream, He desires to reveal it to me! Yes, He truly loves it when we go on a treasure hunt with Him.

When you awake, notice the time, jot it down and then search your dream for other numbers; then pray and ask the Holy Spirit for the interpretation. Next, look through Scripture for biblical references with that number combination (such as Jeremiah 33:3 and Psalm 3:33). Keep in mind that combinations of numbers could be interpreted various ways—3:33 could indicate 3 plus 3 plus 3, which equals 9, meaning the number 9 is what God wants you to study more thoroughly. Then seek out other reference materials concerning biblical numerology for guidance in interpretation.
