God and lucid dreaming.

[Frank Goad]

.Why would God give us dreams?Knowing one day we would learn about lucid dreams?And want to do them?

 

[Orbit]

Why do you think lucid dreaming is bad?

 

[Frank Goad]

Why do you think lucid dreaming is bad?

Because my dad said it's bad.

Because my dad said it's bad.

It is because I am Methodist.

Your dad is wrong. Dreaming is dreaming. It's something we all do, and sometimes you can kind of be awake in your dream and know that you're dreaming. There's nothing wrong with that, it would be like saying burping is bad -- it's a natural process/function.

Thanks for the support!

Your dad is an idiot. It only means being aware that you are dreaming.

Where is Methodist doctrine does it say so? If you don't know, ask a Methodist minister and let us know.

I asked my dad were it was and he said it was this one: Jeremiah 29:8-9.

Jeremiah 29:8-9

8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

That to me is a statement about not taking your dreams to mean that you are a "prophet" or "diviner". I don't see anything there about being conscious you are dreaming.

I thought it sounded weird too.

This makes more sense: When I asked God what version to use He told me NASB.

NASB Jer. 29:8 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Do not let your prophets who are in your midst or your diviners deceive you, and do not listen to their interpretations of your dreams which you dream. 9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord.

I looked at the NKJV and they did not change it. That seems like a big mistake to me.
