Hi everyone!
I had an extraordinary dream: I heard a male voice talking to me…I saw a scale and he said “Put your problems and worries in one of the plates of the scale…now there should be something going in the other plate that balances out the scale and gives harmony…here it is”
Then I saw 2 hands forming a cup and inside of the hands there was a huge rosary…i took the hands and just held them against my cheek and felt the perfect happiness…

I know it could have been just a dream…but do you think God sends us messages through dreams?

Thank you
God bless

God definitely sends messages through dreams. It is recorded in the Bible throughout. For instance, Jacob had a dream of a ladder to Heaven whilst he was on the run from his brother Esau.

That said, I’m skeptical of dreams because they are highly, highly influenced by psychological factors. Someone who prays a lot will have a higher chance of having dreams associated with God. That said, only you (and perhaps a few other religious stakeholders such as a priest/spiritual director) can truly discern whether you think it’s authentic or not. If God wants to give you a message, He’ll send it via several means if you’re still unsure. My own personal advice…make a novena to St. Therese and ask her to send a rose if the dream was from God. I’m sure she’ll be delighted to help you 😛 :p.

Thank you for your advice, and I also agree with being skeptical about dreams 🙂

I am not really familiar with St. Therese…how do you mean getting a rose? Sorry the question sounds stupid 🙂

God bless

St. Therese devotees often ask her to send a rose as a sign. This originates from St. Therese promising shortly before her death that she would let fall from Heaven “a shower of roses”. When you make the novena to her, she often sends a rose during the novena or a few days after. It doesn’t have to be a physical rose; believe me, when you do get the rose (whatever form it may take) you’ll find yourself surprised.

I myself received a rose for a certain petition. I asked St. Therese to send a dark red rose as a sign. 2 days after I finished the novena, Google changed their logo to a dark red rose:

I know it sounds crazy, but believe me, she’s real. I was taken away by it. A simple Google search will reveal that many others have had similar experiences of St. Therese sending a rose.

And no, it’s not a stupid question 😉 :). So you should try asking her the same, and hopefully she’ll give you it. If not, do not fret…I don’t always receive roses, but I’m very sure she’s listening. Another policy I have is that when I ask St. Therese for a rose, I deliberately put my mind off looking for roses so that it doesn’t become what we call a “self-fulfilling prophecy”.

Thank you,

I am glad that you had this beautiful dream and I hope that I will have also that kind of dream.

Thank you so much for the clarification 🙂 Helps a lot!!!
God bless 🙂
 
I had a chat with Saint Faustina in a dream once. I had forgotten all about it until the next day, when it was readdressed. It took my breath away.

I could tell you stories about dreams, and they are not all pleasant.
 
Zsofia_A: That is really a beautiful dream

I have had two very distinct and wonderful dreams about God that I will never forget. 🙂
 
It’s been a while since I thought I received any messages through my dreams, but for a period in my early teen years I believe God spoke to me quite a bit through my dreams. I spent a year or two pondering what my vocation was, and spent a lot of time praying about whether I was being called to the priesthood or something else. On a fairly regular basis, on the nights that I would go to sleep praying about it, I would have dreams of myself being married and having lots of kids. For a long time I remained convinced that I had to keep considering the priesthood, but after months and months of dreams about a family life and not a single one about the priesthood, I finally got the hint (there were other things that pointed me in the same direction, but the dreams had a big influence on me).
 
Thank you all for your thoughts and experiences I will keep my eyes “open” in sleep 😛 …OK rather my heart 😃

God bless
