Dreams are state of being in another world of reality, the world that enable us feel the same way in our conscious world. Whether we remember our dreams or not. Dreams can be pleasant, happy, frightening, frustrating, calming, boring, bizarre or downright awkward. Has anyone else ever dream about loosing someone dear to you before? If Yes! this is how dreams can be frightening and frustrating.
Biblically, dreams are spiritually vested. Each night, you can have anywhere from one dream up to five or six, depending on how long you sleep and how many rapid-eye movement cycles you go through but you may only remember the most vivid or repeatedly occurring dreams.
In the Old Testament of the Bible alone, there are more than 120 mentions of dreams. They are used both to give instruction directly from God and prophesize about the future. In the New Testament, Jesus gives a vision of his future kingdom to Peter, James and John in the form of a dream. So, this is what to do if you have bad dreams.
