Like a flower s fragrance, a dream can be for the benefit of one or many. As we diligently take our dreams to the Lord, He will cause us to know when the rose is a simple rose to add to our own bouquet or someone else s, or when the rose oil needs to be pressed out of each petal until we have a treasured perfume of purpose and destiny. We must approach interpretation with a motive God can bless. Similarly some dreams are indictments against others, and some people seek interpretation to confirm inside information or suspicion or accusation. Sometimes dreams are so bazaar that we are simply curious, but curiosity is not a motive God will bless and build upon.
Curiosity is about information rather than commitment.
Our motive has to be more than acquiring skill in interpretation. It is important for us to remember that the Pharisees who prided themselves in knowing and adhering to scripture, completely missed its fulfillment in the birth of Christ. It is obviously possible then to be educated in the truth yet miss its true essence. Likewise it is possible to be so intent upon learning to dissect dreams and visions that we miss their true essence, or to be so intent upon a learned skill that we disregard the Teacher. The soul and spirit can initiate dreams due to concerns, anxieties, stress, experiences, meditations or desires.
