Dittos to this. Don't even acknowledge your dreams. Many dreams, even if they startle you to awakening, are hard or impossible to remember after you've been up a few minutes.
We have kind of a ghetto traffic situation on the main drag a couple of blocks from my home, and in case anyone would ever break in, I keep a Smith and Wesson 9mm loaded with hollow points on my nightstand, with only one digit on the trigger lock to move, if I'd have to remove it in a hurry in the dark. Last night I dreamed I was woken up by someone wandering in the house, and in my dream, when I got up, I was confronted with a very tall, skinny, bald, young light-skinned black man (think Vladimir Duthier on CBS News, he's lighter than many white people, gotta wonder about that first name), and on top of that, butt-naked! No earthly idea where that came from. In my dream, I did not have my sidearm, and he sheepishly begged my pardon for intruding. Then I woke up. That was a comical dream, though I did wake up with my heart pounding, then I realized it was just a bizarre dream and I had a good laugh about it.
Well, it
could happen! Years ago, my friends had an intoxicated man wearing only underpants break the screen on the window and enter their bedroom in the middle of the night. Mae started praying out loud and Marc grabbed his weapon and kept it trained on him. He ordered him out of the house and the drunk tripped and fell on the stone floor in their foyer. He started crying, apologizing, begging forgiveness and asked for help. They actually ended up giving him clean sweats, some flip flops, making a sandwich and coffee, praying with the fellow, who then called the police on himself to report the two burglaries he’d committed before showing up at Mae and Marc’s house. The cops came
and took him away. The window was replaced with glass bricks!
No, Simple, and OP, your dreams are not prophetic. Your brain strings together random bits of information which you then process in your sleep. Upon awakening, we try and find rational meaning in them, but for the most part, there is none. Most dreams can be safely ignored.
If a dream is disturbing, remember it can be used by Satan to tempt you to fear, unease, paranoia, doubt, etc. None of these are fruits of the Holy Ghost, so you can say a quick prayer reaffirming your trust in God and go your way.
