What is God saying to you in your dreams?
Decoding Your Dreams is a beginner’s guide to understanding the true source of our dreams, dream classifications, and even dream symbols. This book answers questions like
- Can we control our dreams?
- I used to dream all the time. Why has my dream life suddenly ceased?
- Should I pray for the gift of dream interpretation?
- What does it mean if I see people in my dreams who have already passed away?
- When do I share a dream I’ve received and when do I keep it to myself?
- Where does déjà vu fit into the world of dreams?
- Why should I pay attention to my children’s dreams?
There are dozens of mentions of dreams in the Bible. From Abraham to Joseph, from Daniel all the way to Pontius Pilot’s wife, God has communicated with His people through dreams throughout recorded history.
Why would God choose to speak to us while we sleep? Perhaps it’s because we are too distracted during the day to sit still long enough for Him to share the deep secrets of His heart.
Jennifer LeClaire is convinced God speaks to us in ways that are very personal. At times he may use pictures, memories, impressions, or even a still small voice.
Let Decoding Your Dreams help you embrace your Spirit-inspired dreams!

"This book was so informative! As I read through the pages I remembered dreams that I had as a child and how they came to past. In my adult years the dreams have continued. Dreams that I couldn’t shake, dreams that God sent to warn me of things to come but I had no understanding of how to pray afterwards. Some dreams were about the good plans that God has for me but again, no understanding of how to pray or prepare for whatb was ahead. I will continue to refer back to this book and pray for wisdom and understanding as I read so that I will see what the Lord would want me to see each time."

- Wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought I would be able to look up a word like angels and it would tell me what it meant. Was hoping it had an alphabetical dictionary...
- Great book ! I highly recommended!
- It's okay but if you have other books on the subject you might be disappointed.
- I chose this rating because the book was very staright forward, very wording, easy to read and understand...I would definetly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the "Dreamers of dreams"
- Great starting place for understanding and positioning ourselves to dream. God has a lot to say to us and dreaming is often over looked
- LeClaire reminds us that God spoke in dreams in the Bible and He does so today. Sleep studies indicate we usually dream at least four times each night. She gives tips on how to remember more dreams and suggestions on understanding what the dreams mean. It is important, she says, that we stay within the realm of biblical resources and do not turn to non-Christian resources. Scripture is our constant foundation.
If we wonder why God would use dreams to speak to us, LeClaire gives some theories. If we are ready to listen to what God has to say in our dreams, she suggests we ask God to speak to us this way and have an attitude of expectation.
LeClaire includes much on dream interpretation, including dreaming about biblical places, numbers, colors, symbols, etc. I was surprised to find out that culture has an influence in that symbols have different connotations for different people groups. For example, there is a hand gesture representing the University of Texas mascot, the head and horns of cattle. But that same gesture represents Satanism in Europe. (Loc. 1469/2812) What a change in meaning. Understanding the cultural aspects of symbols is very important in understanding dreams and I think she is the first I've seen point them out. And then there are the subjective symbols, meaningful to one person but meaningless to another.
She is also quick to remind us that not all dreams are from God and gives good ways to be discerning on dream sources. We can evaluate the fruit produced from the dream as well as know that a dream from God would never go against Scripture. She gives several examples of her own dreams to help us understand the process. She reminds us that dreams are subjective and symbols could have different meanings in different situations.
Dreams and their interpretation can be a difficult subject. LeClaire's book is very helpful in understanding the entire topic. I've read a few books on dreams yet learned some new and valuable information in this one. I like her emphasis that we ask the Lord as the interpretation belongs to Him. I like her pointing out that our emotional state influences our dream interpretation so it is important to seek out others who are wise in dream interpretation. I like the practical steps she gives.
I do recommend this book to Christians who desire to understand why God speaks in dreams and want some insight into discerning the meaning of dreams.
I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review. - Decoding your Dreams by Jennifer LeClaire is an easy to read book looking at the meanings behind your dreams. The author looks at dreams as either a message from God, from the enemy, or could be just your thoughts being rehashed. She looks at these dreams as being an important part of your day. This book is meant to be a first book for the dreamer to begin to interpret their own dreams and so does not go deep into what your dreams mean. One of the first things to do to decide what God is wanting the dreamer to know is to pray and ask God to help you to know what God is telling you the dreamer. Then the dreamer should make and keep a dream journal. Just as soon as you have the dream you are to write down the dream in as much detail as you can remember colors, numbers, people, your thoughts during the dream, and just anything that you can remember. At least once per year you should read back though your dreams to see if you get anymore insight into their meanings. The author then tells what different codes mean to different cultures or different families such as dreams of red may mean love, anger or danger to us but in Asian culture it may mean something associated with luck. In the U.S. yellow may mean being cowardly but in Greek culture it could mean sadness. The author states that just as God will speak to the English speaking person in English and not in Spanish that He will also follow cultural norms. She states that because of these differences to be careful in looking up dream codes on the internet because some of these discrepancies could occur. She also states that God will make the meaning known to the dreamer. Possibly the dreamer will awaken with the knowledge but sometimes the dreamer must get this information over time. She does say that the dreamer should understand the dream eventually with prayer because God wants the dreamer to understand.
I picked this book because I was having a reoccurring dream that I wanted to know the meaning of it. After reading the book and carefully following the author's advice I am no closer to knowing the meaning than I ever was so I must assume that this is a dream that will require time to understand. I also thought that this book was a little simplistic. It, I felt could have gone a little deeper even for a beginner book. I give this book 3 stars.
I received this book from BookLook for this review.
