Do you think God is still using dreams and visions to talk to people?

idea

Question Everything
I believe ones spirit (subconscious) can be just as wrong about things as ones mind.

Which is why it's not good to trust dreams, I agree. I should clarify - nightmares helped me leave. Research, and cracking my own cognitive dissonance after being involved in case child abuse case did it. Our minds play games on us - takes traumatic events to break bubbles.

All if it - feeling the spirit - just herd instincts, that sensation is NOT God, its chemicals.


Chemicals (unless you believe God commands child brides and heaven's gate cults). I used to think that sensation was from God too - it's NOT from God.

It is:
Elevation (emotion) - Wikipedia.

Could also be: Frisson - Wikipedia

Think God talked to you? It wasn't God.

28% of the population hears auditory hallucinations.

Often dreams, ekevation, frisson, subconscious is right, but often it is the result of bias formed from childhood conditioning / group think.

@Frank Goad asked : “Do you think God is still using dreams and visions to talk to people?” (In the O.P.)

Yes.

I think that authentic revelations has always characterized authentic Judeo-Christian religion in all ages of time.

This does not mean that all dreams and visions are from God, it merely means that I believe God still communicates with mankind by multiple modes of communication, including dreams and visions and that authentic Judeo-Christianity will include communication from a living God to those who have faith and that communication may include dreams and visions..

I believe so. But as visions and dreams can come from demonic forces who anticipate events and also can provide personal influence, its best to see what the bible says.
