After years, really decades, of passively ignoring or actively trying to remember the dreams of my sub/un/consciousness, in these past couple of years I  conclude my dreams are nearly always worldly in that they don’t honor God’s Word, scriptures.  If and when I remember them, they are comprised of mere stories with scripts on the banal television shows I despise in my consciousness. Narratives that may or may not have elements that did not occur in my day but one thing is certain, THEY ARE EMPTY OF SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES, ACTIONS AND LIFE. 

So, does that make them demoninc?  Not quite and not directly.  Our very humanity begins with sin, is born into sin, (Romans 5:12) death, separation from God already, by default, (John 3:18) and children of disobedience under control of Satan’s world order (Ephesians 2:1-3). This is the ‘normal’ state of being merely human. (1 Corinthians 3:4)  The next step is being born in the Spirit (John 3), renewing our mind (Romans 12:2), walking in the Spirit (Romans 8),  exercising faith in God’s grace to be taken out from the world (John 15:19). We cannot do it ourselves. 

I do have nightmares and fear impressed upon me during my sleep by passing demons and there are characters in my dreams that are demons or demonic. These are more than the usual worldly dreams of  ignoring God. 

On the other side, my deepest, precious spiritual moments occur during the earliest hours of the morning. Thankfully often I wake up and my heart is open to God’s grace/gift of truth. I receive a changing of my heart as my human spirit seeks God’s kingdom.  All of this occurs outside of my mind–my soul. During those times I receive impressions, revelations from God the Holy Spirit. I have conscious contact, not sub/un/consciousness activation. This is but one of my few experiences that distinguishes my spirit from my soul.

Maybe I will write what happens to my sub/un/consciousness in the future or how I discern spirits (1 John 4:1).

Sovereign God, may my natural inclination be to want what you want. Plesae guard me in my dreams and my waking moments alike. Teach the deepest parts of my being, my consciousness to recognize the difference between the noise of the world and Your Spirit. I open the ‘eyes of my heart’ to receive from You with being present, quietness, Your peace.
