DREAMS ABOUT OTHERS
Perhaps only 5% of our dreams are about others.This dream is not talking about parts of yourself, but about real outer situations. I have discovered that the more right brain a person is (i.e., visionary and
intuitive) the more likely he is to dream further away from home (away from his own self).
That means that right brain people may be more likely to have a greater number of dreams about others.
For example, I have noted that three different woman who scored 7.7 on the “Brain Preference Indicator” test in the Communion with God book (the highest
score I have seen) have vivid dreams about others in which they see the murders, rapes, and thefts taking place in their communities that night, and which are indeed reported in the newspaper the following day. These were literal dreams of real life events. Obviously, not all dreams about others show such fearsome pictures. These are just given as examples I am personally aware of.
Dreams about others are shared publicly much more often than dreams about self, which is why the vast majority of the dreams in the Bible fall into the category of dreams about others.
CLUES WHICH MAY INDICATE YOUR DREAM IS ABOUT OTHERS
1. You are an observer of the action.
If you play an active role in the dream, it is likely a dream about you. If you are only an observer to the activity of the dream, it is likely a dream about others.
2. The dream just does not fit your life.
You should always ask God, “Lord, show me any way the events in this dream are revealing struggles my heart is currently facing.” If you cannot see that the dream is talking about an issue you are facing, and your spiritual counselor cannot help you see how this may be something your heart is currently processing, then you may assume that the dream is not about you.
Dreams Which Tell of the Future
In a sense, many dreams are foretelling the future. Some dreams may simply be showing what will happen in the near future if one does not repent and change his ways. Other dreams seem to tell of the very distant future, as some of the Bible dreams appear to do. Perhaps more prophetic people may find that they dream further into the future and further away from themselves, while people who are not prophetic may tend to dream closer to home (i.e., have dreams which deal with issues concerning their
own hearts’ struggles).
