Daniel 7:1
"In
the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and
visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down
the substance of his dream."
Notice from the above verse that the first thing Daniel did after he saw the dreams and visions was to write down the substance of his dream. He was ready and prepared with his writing materials nearby. However vivid the dream is upon waking, a dream can vanish swiftly if it is not written down pronto. Dreams before coffee people! The substance is the main action of the dream, or the main points. I often use the arrow method (all methodology is in my book!) to get the substance of the dream down quickly. I use this method when I am helping people interpret dreams too. Often, the gist of the dream - the general message can come as you do this, but if it does not, pray and ruminate on your dream over the day and then when you have time to go back to it, the substance of the dream will be there, and the substance will help trigger any details you don't remember. Ask God to reveal anything you might have forgotten and don't worry if you can't remember everything. God is faithful! Steward your dreams well and more understanding will come.
Are you
interested in being coached through your own dreams so that you can
interpret your own dreams for yourself? Feel free to message me to hear
more. Meanwhile don't forget to write your dreams down in your dream
journal as Daniel did!
