Some Christian circles have become overly focused on dream interpretation—a practice that often draws more from traditional African beliefs than from the New Testament. The Bible never establishes a “dream interpretation ministry.” This trend is largely rooted in fear and cultural tradition rather than Scripture.

In the Old Testament, pagan rulers like Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar needed interpreters because they didn’t know God. But God’s covenant people did not depend on such intermediaries.

Today, as believers, we have the Holy Spirit living within us. If a dream truly comes from God, the same Spirit who gave it can reveal its meaning directly. There is no need for someone else to decode it for you. If you experience a nightmare, it is often a spiritual attack meant to stir fear. Do not panic or give it power by dwelling on it.

Your victory over such attacks comes from renewing your mind with God’s Word—not through fear or emotional reactions. A renewed mind helps you clearly hear God’s voice and recognize His truth, while a mind clouded by fear or superstition will misinterpret everything. Commit to daily renewal through Scripture so you can walk in discernment and resist deception.
