I wouldn't place it in the category of nonsense. On the contrary we're alive in the spirit.
I've found some dreams to be a testing and involve temptation. For this reason, I sometimes am able to discern that the dream isn't being sent by God, but might be a spiritual testing as part of a spiritual maturing process. I say this because I know God doesn't tempt.
Counter to this end, is the dream in Scripture Acts 10, of the sheet being lowered from heaven from four corners laden with 4 legged beasts and being told to eat thereof, and the dreamer being told to eat the non-kosher or common and unclean items. He discerned it wasn't proper out of legal obedience, but was then told that just as it had been created by the Lord, nothing He created nothing unclean.
He then encounters the centurion who ad been directed by an angel to Peter's house. I find the entire story shows how some situations may arise, where God doesn't become nearly as legalistic as men might suppose, yet his actions and plan have definite purpose and consistency.
Good and fitting points but most conservative folks will . . . i suspect . . . have trouble with some of the implications.
I don't want to dwell any more on this for awhile, but I'm mindful of that. I know that this is a strong possibility.
The dream I recounted was about power, electrical power, electrons designed by God, but harnessed by men, invented by a man who had questionable spiritual practices. There are two sources of spiritual power, one good and the other evil. I try to avoid the evil to the best of my ability, prayer, tried to find the right church, tried to not do any religious practice that is not right, even in the Christian churches.
I would not want to have any power that comes from below and cooperate with it, but if it hits me unbidden, all I can do is pray that I will be given the strength to resist it and be cleansed from it.
The best way to do that is keep yourself humble and not draw attention to yourself. Humility was not my strong suit in my young life, growing up in this country and all, and I can't say as if I've mastered my pridefulness. Lord knows life has done enough of that for me. I've been taken down "a peg or two" as the saying goes. Maybe more. I can't say that is has been a bad thing overall, but it makes you different from the kind of people you are used to and grew up with.
Others have had to deal with it, too.
