God Speaking through an Animal?

[hazelflame]

First let me say I am tired of having these strange dreams that are confusing & keep pointing to something negative about to happen.

I was in bed with my husband...then in the middle of the night I felt something climbing up me. I looked up to see this strange creature!! I wanted to panic, but then I stared straight at it & noticed it was a huge Beaver!? It had these Big round eyes...and I continued to stay still because -Something- told me to.

So I embraced this creature on me because I knew it was about to Give me a Message. I knew this creature was allowing God to take over him to send me this message. Except he didnt Speak in words...but instead it was like he Translated his Thoughts into mine, so I understood him.

I believe first he said,"Dont Fear what is about to happen.Dont Fear." I think he also said..."that this is suppose to happen." At this time I was still scared of what was going on...it felt difficult to Embrace these words because an Animal was on me. So I was afraid that this was-God- but also that a wild Animal was on me...
Then I felt something heavy on my hair (its Long), So I started to move my head to get it off (the beaver)...but when I looked up it was Gone.

This dream also felt like a Dream within a Dream...because I remember waking up my Husband (in the Dream) & telling him about what just happened.
Also, I looked this up in the Dictionary of the Ten Thousand Dreams interpreted and it said about God speaking means:

"If God speaks to you, beware that you do not fall into condemnation.
Business of all sorts will take an unfavorable turn. It is the forerunner(Sign)
of the weakening of health and may mean early dissolution(Death?)"

Someone Please help me understand if this is what it means...because I wish these dreams would stop...but I feel like they All keep pointing to the End of something.
THanks...hazelflame

I believe that the beaver represents that God can use anyone. I believe He will speak to you though someone that you thought God couldn't use.

The idea that a God is speaking to you is based on your own inner fears and insecurities. The beaver represents your inner belief in the primitive and instinctual basis to life. It is only your fear and need to believe that there has to be a divine purpose to life that your subconscious, like a magician, conjures up those images. They are nothing other than self actualising prophesies. There is nothing in your dream, as described by your self, which should cause you to feel that some evil omen or intent is around you. The dream is the manifestation only of your own insecurities that you allowed others to develop in you; it is like a childish fear in which, like in the tale of Peter Pan, the child in you does not wish to grow up. Try looking around you and observe what is actually there rather what you think is there or what others say or have told you is there and develop your own opinions based entirely on your own observations and experiences and those dreams will not longer haunt you.

I understand what you are saying Jennings,...however the problem is that in the Past when I have dreams that "haunt" me it is really for a reason. This has happened since I was younger for example when Id dream of a Specific Car accident...than about 4 years later it happened, Only I escaped worse situation because I was Prepared for it from being "haunted" by it.
There are many others...so thats why it is difficult to let it go. Its like I know something big is about to occur, but now Im not sure what I can do until Im at that point. And until then, Im just feeling Anxious--or keeping myself busy with life.
Also, I do believe in God with my whole heart...but if anything your saying is correct its probably my subconscious trying to calm me down from fear.
Thanks,

I have no desire to criticise your religious beliefs and I understand how you can connect those dreams to something other than yourself, something beyond you but, when you believe in God it is difficult to see beyond this belief. I except the spiritual side to nature but reject religious dogma which is politically motivated. I fully understand your experiences but to account for their cause is a tad difficult. I do feel that a lot of your fears arise from deep inside you as if they are a residue from past childhood trauma that continues to trouble you. I find it interesting that the big cuddly beaver is saying to you, "Don't fear". It almost sounds as if your inner self is coming to the fore in your dream and telling that everything is okay so not to fear. The Beaver could be representative of say a 'teddy' that you might have had and loved as a child.

The funny thing about that is during the dream while the "beaver" was telling me 'Not to fear' about what may come, I was fearful at the moment about a "beaver" sitting on top of me. And this Beaver wasnt cute & cuddly, but Bigger than an average beaver, kinda scary, & Wild looking.

But thanks for pointing that out because it made me think....why wasnt it cute & cuddly if it were god? I think the beaver Represents or Symbolizes the situation in life I will go through. For example, when going through Big, Scary, & wild situations in life we tend to "Freeze" up & only see the Negative side of it. But we forget that there is a Important reason to go through these things that we might have 'Never' learned otherwise.

From the "Outside Perspective" we see a Crazy Scary & Big thing, but from the inside perspective its really caring, sweet, and thoughtful enough to teach us about life. I have gone through alot more in my life of 25yrs than the average american...and 1 thing Ive learned from it is that we can Always take the Negatives in life & make something Positive from it, Even when it doesn't seem possible.

Oh...and also even though I had this "Wild, scary, & big" creature on top of me--I knew deep down that the Beaver would not attack me because I knew God was in Control of the Beaver (the Situation) the WHOLE Time!!**

Last Night I stayed up reading all my old post & I think I finally figured out what all these crazy dreams have been about the past 3-5 months. See my husband & I have been married for almost 5 years & we've always been together, and if not we've talked on the phone everyday (even when he was deployed in Kuwait).

THis past year we have been circling separation back & fourth. Every time we'd get in an argument he'd tell me he was going to "Change." After a year of arguing he finially started changing some of his Behavior--being more proactive. However, his attitude did not change...because when your Married some people think you can get away with acting mean because you always live together & so you have to Learn to Quickly Forgive.

So after getting into an argument yesterday I realized for him to "Grow" he needed a Change. Just to see what it is like being by ones self by giving time necessary to grow.

See but I never wanted to give into this because I thought it was "Giving Up"...but I realized if anything it would make it "Better." And All these dreams I've been having have been pointed to the >>end of something while referring to my Husband. Like the Tiger & spirits dream, the different Dreams about Moons, asteroid hitting,..and The Beaver telling me "Its suppose to Happen." I believe God gave me this last dream to let me know that I Needed to do this,..but everything would be Okay Afterwards.

So I wanted to say--Thank you-- for everyones Respones, because it didnt make sense at the time but when reading some of your responses kept saying," That something is about to happen, and that I didnt want to see it or didnt Understand it...but that it would be better afterwards."

So my husband & I are taking a small break from each other...Hopefully this will stop these crazy dreams...........
