I woke up this morning and remembered a dream that I had. I seldom dream. It was only about an hour later that I realized my dream was not probable. We’re doing like a potluck brunch for one of my classes because it’s the end of our first year at university. I dreamed that we had our brunch in class and were done and about to leave, but the teacher asked me to pray. And I did pray a rather long prayer about our internship and for us to go through it and learn, that God would help us and etc. I would never be asked to pray in a class, but it felt so Christian-like, the atmosphere was just as if we were all Christians and it was totally normal that my teacher would end up with a prayer. I know this was just a dream and I am not going to try to piritualize it at all.

What I wonder about though is the prayer I made. Because I did consciously pray in my dream, as if I was praying for real. But, was I praying for real actually? Does God hears the prayer made in a dream? I think He does. Does God takes those prayers as seriously as those made when we are awake? You know what, I would tend to think that yes. Because even though I was in the context of a dream and did not realize that this did not make any sense that my teacher was asking me to pray, I, Gabrielle, prayed as I would pray when I am awake and for me, I was awake anyways (in my mind). I don’t know, that’s just my opinion and maybe to you it’s really clear, but I had never thought of this before.

Different.

    i think that god heard your prayer…even if you were sleeping..your subconcious is always on..and you remember your prayer too..pretty neat..
    ca fait penser a quand on pense à des trucs juste dans notre tete..without actually praying we sometimes think stuff that god respods too..even if we didnt pray a prayer..i dont know if im making sense but anyhow.

  1. You are right. I think. I know for sure that God heard my prayer, but I wonder if it has the same impact… I think it should… I don’t know. Dreams are such a strange thing… all the sudden you find yourself in worlds you’ve never been before but still, it’s familiar…

    I like your new blog-look. I never thought about my prayers in my dreams. I don’t recall having prayed in a dream (althought I recall being a Christian in dreams). Are my prayers accepted if they come out of a dream? A prayer to be received has to be given with our free determination and will. It has to be an act that is done with reflection. In a dream ther is no FREE WILL, (one does not will to dream or not) there is no DETERMINATION (one does not determine to pray ot not) and no REFLECTION (one does not think about the substance of his prayers). Paul wrote ‘I shall pray with the spirit and I shall pray with the mind also (1 Cor. 14:15) In a dream we do not pray with our spirit AND our mind.

    Hey Gabe, I know for sure that God Speaks in my dreams, a lot, I dream a lot! And I’m prettyr conscious during my dreams, even some people have control of their dreams.
    If God could speak, why not us too? He’s using dreams sometimes to make us think, or remembering stuff, or to teach us and ‘nous reprendre’. I know that, not because I tried to find something spiritual in them, but because it was clear to me, His messages was clear to me. I couldn’t say that God don’t listen your dream and what you’ve done in it. even though you did not control it. Ca me fait penser, dans la Bible, il est dit que quand nous on ne peut exprimer une priere, l’esprit intercede a notre place. Et je pense que l’Esprit-Saint a assez de suite dans les idées pour utiliser un rêve comme prière.
    that’s what I think. love
