A Dream is like a snapshot, which captures, one brief moment out of a life time. It cannot be understood fully without knowing something about the life of a person it concerns. Therefore, it is not enough to know the meaning and symbols alone.
Even when we are familiar with the background of the person a dream concerns. one must be cautious in interpreting it. Hasty dream interpretations must be avoided. Daniel had to take his time to puzzle over king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream for an hour before he ventured on interpretation, and he knew the kings lifestyle well (Daniel 4:18-19). The best way to keep from either simply forgetting about a dream or jumping to conclusions is to start a dream journal. This involves taking ample time to write down the dream. It usually causes one to remember it in full detail. God is faithful to speak to us again and again if we are really trying to hear what he has to say.
