...and then I woke up!

We all have them. You either love them or hate them. Most of the time you forget them. And they always make for great conversation & funny stories. Yes, ladies & gentlemen...we are talking about dreams.

It's probably accurate to say that when talking about dreams, most people tend to associate dreams with psychology and suppressed desires (most of what Frued researched). Recently, Morgan was reading in the Old Testament about God using dreams to specifically speak through Daniel about the coming conditions in Judah. This prompted thought about the significance of our dreams today. So how can we decide whether or not God is speaking to us thru certain dreams? Quite honestly, we cannot point to a specific dream that we strongly believe has been a revelation from God. Could this be our lack of discernment, or do we dream about specific things/events because these are the things that are pressing on our minds and hearts?

We want to transition into a little "show & tell" because these are some of the dreams we most vividly remember:

Morgan has had such great dreams in the past that she was often called upon in class to share her dreams with all the students. However, more often than not, her dreams have resulted in morbid endings, leaving her peers slightly depressed and confused. [Examples include: her friend being sent to jail and Morgan was forced to tag along even though she was innocent. Someone usually dies & it tends to be the same two people. She also once dreamt that her friend was a terrorist. And in another dream Morgan was assaulted and then found to be pregnant! Remember...these are dreams folks...not real life.] However, on a happier note...Morgan once had a crush on a dog...(and here's the kicker) this dog was also on her pro football team!!

Ashton's dreams, on the other hand, tend to just be random and highly illogical. Her dreams have consisted of such things as: churros, rotten bananas, adopted babies riding on motorcycles, giving birth to 1000s eyeballs (actually...someone else had that dream, but it was about Ashton), frolicking around a waterpark with her husky/chubby boyfriend, driving buses, and getting kidnapped at a courthouse.

All in all, while dreams certainly do provide much entertainment, we often wonder if they sometimes have any deep or real meaning to them. Now...we'd love to hear about your crazy, random, hilarious, and deep dreams. Also, we'd love to know your thoughts on discerning what dreams are sent as revelations to us from God.

[Just so you know...Morgan went out on a very thin limb to tell you about her dream with the dog. She is quite embarrassed by this. So you better think it's funny!]
