How To Find The Hidden Spiritual Meaning Of Your Dreams

Dreams are much more than a story that plays in your head at night. There is a spiritual meaning to your dreams that is providing you with messages and guidance.

While you are sleeping, there is a lot going on that relates to what is happening in your waking state. If you are open to what your dreams are here to show you and help you with, then you can begin working with them to discover information that is helpful for you in your life.

Dreams are a map to your subconscious mind which holds the keys to your beliefs, skills, memories, and experiences. Therefore, they can provide you with the guidance you need to heal and move forward into the desired future that you want.

Spiritual Meaning of Dreams

#1 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Process Your Thoughts from Your Day

During the day, you are bombarded with thoughts and messages that are coming into your mind. Many of these things aren’t even from you but from other things that you are seeing on your screen. It can be difficult to process all this stuff, especially when it’s not even all yours!

For example, you might be on social media and read the comments of a thread. As you take in all of this information and process it through your own filter your brain is trying to keep up with it all. But it’s a lot to process while you are awake. As you sleep you are more easily able to process what you consumed during your day.

As an example, I noticed that I kept seeing this ad on YouTube for A&W burgers. I don’t eat there but the ad kept popping up and I noticed it. That night, I dreamt that I was hanging out with the A&W bear. This was my brain’s way of processing this external information that I was receiving, as I didn’t know what to do with it during the day.

#2 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Show You What Needs to Be Healed Within You

Dreams can be great indicators of what needs to be healed within you. It’s a good idea to always pay attention to how you feel in your dreams. How you feel is a good indication of what is happening, even if the situation is different.

For example, you might dream of your co-worker telling you what to do and making you feel inadequate. When you wake up and write down your dream, it brings up feelings of how your sister always makes you feel inadequate.

You are processing this feeling in your dream in order to heal it. The players in the dream are different and this is for a reason. Your dreams know the best way to help you heal and move through this. They know that if you dream of your sister, it will create resistance. So, someone else is put in place of your sister that gives you the same feelings you have with her. You get to heal it in a less resistant way because it is likely more challenging to forgive your sister than your co-worker in your dream.

Your dreams know the best way to deliver messages to you. This is why things show up as symbols and involve different people and not the exact thing that is happening in your waking life.

#3 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Give You Messages 

As you go about your day in your waking state, it can be difficult to receive intuitive information. This is because you are usually focused on the problem and trying to solve it. This can create some resistance to receiving a solution as you are more focused on the problem and not the solution.  

However, when you sleep, you drop all that resistance and go into a more open state of receiving. Information that you are looking for will flow to you while you are in that state.

You are a more open channel to receiving when you are relaxed. Therefore, dreams may be a really helpful way for you to explore receiving the answers you are looking for.

#4 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Contain Symbols That You Can Relate To

Dreams are most often symbols that represent something to you. If you notice repeating symbols show up in your dreams, ask yourself what does this symbol represent to you?

Symbols have different meanings to different people. Consult your intuition about what it means for you personally.

For example, you may dream about shoes and to you, this represents the direction you are walking in your life. However, to the foot specialist that dreams about shoes, it represents his thoughts about his big work meeting tomorrow and how it will go.

As my own example, I dreamt that I couldn’t find my boyfriend. I looked everywhere for him, and my cell phone wasn’t working to get in touch with him in the dream. Shortly after, he broke up with me and we ended our communication. That dream was telling me what was going to happen in a symbolic way. It didn’t come right out and show the breakup happening. But the lack of communication and our not being able to find each other was a big symbol of our parting ways.

#5 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Help You to Solve Problems

Your dreams can be extremely helpful in solving problems, whether you realize they are helping you or not. So, you may unexpectedly receive guidance in a dream that is helpful for what you are currently experiencing. It is important to write down your dreams because you will find some great information in them.

You can also ask for a specific answer before you go to bed with a problem you want to solve. You can ask out loud, in your head, or write down what you want guidance with. Then think of that question before you go to bed.

When you wake up in the morning, write down everything you remember. Do this as soon as you wake up, otherwise, you will begin to forget the information. Go back to the information later in the day after you are more grounded and see if you can understand what it was trying to tell you.

If you try to interpret your dream as you write it out or first thing in the morning when you are still foggy, it will be more difficult to understand. So, go back to it later and over the next few days to help you to interpret it in a more grounded way.

#6 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Can Be Prophetic & Intuitive

While most people don’t receive prophet dreams, there are a few that do. So, you may get a big prophetic insight in your dreams about something that is going to happen in the world.

The majority of people however can receive intuitive glimpses into their future. While you can receive something big, you are more likely to receive something small for your life personally.

For example, I had a dream that I was driving my friend to the hospital one night, and the next day I found out he had to go to the emergency room the very same night that I dreamt it.

Anyone can tap into an energy field and pick up on events that are unfolding or will unfold in the future.

#7 Spiritual Meaning of Your Dreams – They Can Be Messages from Spirit

Spirit is more likely to show up in a dream than right out in front of you. They don’t want to scare you and know the way that you are most open to receiving them.

You may dream of a deceased loved one and it feels so real like they were right there with you. You likely were hanging out with them at night and they found a way to connect with you.

Spirit can show up in dreams to deliver a message to you or to just say, “hello” and let you know they are ok and with you.

If you’d like to connect with someone in your dreams all you have to do is ask. You may not remember everything but it’s likely that you will feel their presence in the dream. Or they will connect over the next few nights. This is especially helpful if you feel like you aren’t able to connect with them while you are awake. You can connect with anyone you want, and dreams make it even easier to do this.

Final Thoughts

Next time you are looking for some guidance, are open to receiving healing, or want to connect with someone why not ask for this in your dreams?

If you set the intention, then you will receive the spiritual meaning of your dreams. It may not happen in the exact way you envision it, but if you are open to possibilities, then you will receive what you are looking for.
