Are dreams fantasy or reality?

A best friend had a dream in which beings in long white robes but no faces (obscured)brought boxes (like shoe boxes) full of money continually and gave them to her. The line stretched to a pinhead (infinity). In another dream the friend stood in the backdoor and saw 3 women in garb of the 19th C(long skirt with pinafore or apron). They formed a circle. A black liquid flowed from the ground near a tree. Then it got clearer and spouted upward like a fountain. She got the impression that it was oil. Someone told her it was evil beings who were released from the ground.This friend is talented but has no car (need repairs/no money),needs food, money for basics etc) She publishes a newsletter with inspirational articles/poems/lyrics. people like her work but do not support it. She writes nature poems and about social issues. What do these dreams say? Are they about finances or saying something else that she is overlooking? She has committed her life to God but she has many questions.

Are dreams fantasy or reality?
Dreams are no different than a mere sub-species of thought. Therefore, one could ask the very same question, are thoughts fantasy or reality? Or even more interestingly, are fantasies still a kind of reality?





In my understanding dreams, if understood as an pure action of thought, are a form of reality in and of themselves. The dream may not reflect any known reality but the individual none the less experiences it.





The actual content of dreams may either be erratic cerebral discharge or the manifestations of repressed wants, desires, hopes, etc. It should also be noted that the intake of melatonin prior to a nights sleep will enhance retainable dream activity and usually produce vivid and often disturbing dream imagery.
Reply:This is a severe warning dream. Receiving gifts of money in dreams means the opposite occurring for real. Debts and loss for a long time.





There is old stuff in her life that she needs to let go of OR maybe she thought it was proper, but it is not (the women dressed in 19C garb) The oil at first being black would normally be representative of an evil, and possibly this evil is the old or proper stuff that she perceived to be right. She needs to evolve and be strong, REALLY STRONG. Why? Because the oil evolved into a fountain of clear water which indicates eventual change into goodness.





Pray for her that she may be shown direction. It's possible she may not have committed in the ways desired by God. Perhaps she needs to focus more on her commitment. Maybe she is saying the wrong things in what she writes? Maybe she is to become a nun? Whatever it is, she is going to need strength and much assistance to get thru this next phase of life.
Reply:Dreams may play on our fantasies, but there may also be a spiritual reality behind them - God or Satan. I recommend finding a Scriptural truth to support whatever impression is left by the dream, before placing any value to it.
Reply:to me she is desiring money that she does not have and so desperately needs. since she has dedicated her life to god then that could explain the garb.
Reply:dreams are the result of thing you are afraid or you desire
Reply:they are fantasy that might come true one day (right nay)
Reply:Dreams are you brain talking back to you. You can use the information however you want to. You can interpret it or not. Dreams are processing in your brain.


They are not fantasy or reality.
Reply:i'd say they are a twist of both, your dreams represent your fears, your "dreams" and take your reality and make it obscure and interesting. dreams are meant to refresh your brain while you sleep by creating a surreal world that you create...
Reply:dreams can be the mirror of our subconscious minds,troubles, fantasies but its not necessarily true..some say if a dream is bad u should tell someone about it for it not to come true..
Reply:Yep some dreams can come true Zellparis.





Dreams at night time are really important to me, so much in fact I actually have a dream book. Go to Waterstones and get a dream book for your friend, might help clear up a few things for her.
Reply:Both. You can dream about anything, fantasy and reality. They dont mean anything other than you may have had a really long day.
Reply:I have found that when it comes to dream interpretation, the dreamer is the best to figure it out. Since most dreams are the minds way of trying to resolve subconscious issues, each thing in a dream such as this holds a specific meaning for her. I would recommend that she write down the dream in detail and then read thru it. With it written down it is easier to dissect it and determine what each item or sequence means to her.





Personally, I disagree with the oil=evil beings. That may be what someone else thinks of when they see oil, but ya know...come on...what would have happened if the Beverly Hillbillies ran the other direction? Seriously though, she needs to search for the answer within herself. It was her dream, after all, not any one elses.
Reply:i think dreams are real
Reply:I would say dreams are fantasy because I have no dreams!
Reply:they are subconciously both
Reply:There is a book by Jane Hamon called Dreams and Visions. Very good resource.





There are several types of dream. There are pizza dreams, wierd dreams you dream after eating bad food before bedtime. There are spirutal dreams and there are nightmares. How to distinguish? A spiritual dream will be vivid and include color (most people dream in black and white), include feeling (physical and emotional) and can even include smells and sounds.





Not everyone has spiritual dreams. The Bible recounts several people who were dreamers. They had dreams about things before they would happen or to direct their paths. Check out Joseph (book or Genesis) and Daniel (book of Daniel) in the old Testament. In the New Testament, read the book of Acts. Peter had dreams that helped him lead the church.





Your friend should pray about the dreams she has had and focus on what God is trying to communicate to her.
Reply:Dreams are fantasy, but are often affected by reality and may have some reflection in real life.
