Why You Keep Having the Same Dream (And How to Make It Stop)

Sometimes you're having the same dream for weeks, for months, for years, and it continues on. The same house, the same road, the same feeling when you wake up, you know, similar people, the same location, and and you're just wondering why. Well, pay attention to the repetition in that dream because that's the huge signal as to what could be the reason why you keep having that dream. A dream repeats because the message has not been received or has not been acted on. So when you get a repetitive recurring dream over and over and over again, one of the reasons is that you have not taken the action that's needed to stop that particular dream. So God has been showing you over again. This is why, you know, pay attention to this, you ignore it. Pay attention to this, you ignore it. And years go by and that dream never stops. Now, let's take a look at Genesis forty one thirty two and it says the reason the dream was given to pharaoh in two forms is that the matter had been firmly decided by God and God would do it soon. So when God repeats the same dream over and over again to you, he's letting you know, look, this is what is going to happen. I need you to act on this now or this is what is not going to happen. And all of that is based on the action that you take immediately. The dream isn't stuck, something around it is. So, what typically happen is this, you wait for it to stop on its own, like this is going to disappear one day or stop paying paying attention to it entirely. Well, doesn't solve anything. Right? Because if you're waiting for a recurring dream to stop and you don't fix the issue, that dream will never stop. As a matter of fact, it's going to intensify or sometimes you just ignore it completely. Whatever the topic is, whatever that situation is, it will continue. So what ends it is that identify the unchanged thing, then change it. So when you're getting a recurring dream about a specific subject, you need to go and focus in that particular area. Sometimes God can be highlighting your finances, sometimes it can be your health, sometimes it can be your relationship. Well, if you keep ignoring your health, your relationships, and anything this dream is about is going to repeat over and over again. There are four reasons a dream keeps coming back and you're going to realize that you fall in one or more of these categories. Number one, you have not understood it. The message has not landed yet. God has been showing you this dream, and for whatever reason, the message has not been understood by you yet. So what do you do? You completely ignore the dream, you put on the side and you realize that it keeps coming back. The second reason why the dream keep coming back is you understood and did nothing. Sometimes, you know what the dream is telling you to do, but you don't take any action. You just said, well, maybe it's gonna fade away after a little while. Well, it never fades that way. If you understand what the dream is telling you to do and you take no action, again, the dream, the recurrent is going to intensify and it will not stop. This is going for for for years and usually for the rest of your life if you do nothing. Another reason why, the third reason why you keep getting recurring dreams is that it is tied to a specific season. It returns on a specific anniversary, during transition, during pressure, during frustration, during happy times, but this particular dream, it's like a seasonal dream. Every season in your life, you notice that why am I dreaming about this thing every anniversary, every, you know, whether it's your health, every transition that you're going through, when you're going through rough times, you have the same dream. When you're going through pressure times, you have so much pressure, you have the same dream. When you're going through heartbreak, when you're about something, you keep having that dream because it's tied to a specific season and until you address the thing in that season, it's going to repeat. The fourth reason why you have repetitive dreams or recurring dreams is that it is spiritual warfare. A pattern diagnosed to keep you afraid. You're going through warfare and you keep having this dream and it never stops, and you're wondering, what is happening? What God is highlighting to you, that there is a level of spiritual warfare that you are going through in that particular season that you have to dedicate, whether it's through prayer, through reading your word, through fellowship, but you need to pay attention to this specific area. Now, what most people do is, oh, you know what, maybe it was just, you know, they'll just wave it off as just something light. But again, it comes back in different seasons. Has the dream ever changed even slightly? The detail that moves is the key. Sometimes you have recurring dreams that change significantly, that is to let you know that you've acted upon something and now it's time to take action on something else. So what you want to do is you want to be able to write it down, is it the same house but a new a new door, is it the same road but you got further, is this the same chase but you turned around, so you want to write the details in that dream as much of it as you possibly can. So stop asking what it means, start asking what changed Because when you take action on your dreams, things are going to automatically start to shift and they're going to start to change. Daniel two twenty two said this, he reveals deep and hidden things, he knows what lies in darkness. So God is the only one that can reveal the hidden and the deep things because he knows exactly what lies in darkness. Do you already know what it means? Oftentimes, you get a dream and you know what that dream is talking about. Some dreams stop when you obedient start. So when you're obedient to God about doing something, about saying something, about going somewhere, whatever that thing is, the dream will usually stop because you've been obedient and now God is taking you to the next direction. And this is the good thing because most of the times it's not a mystery, you have a clear idea, you already know based on conversations, based on things that's happening in your life, based on events, based on situations, you already know what direction you need to go and you just have to be obedient. If you already know the dream isn't a problem, take the one step this week, do one thing that you feel in your heart that you must do. Whatever that thing is, once you follow that, you're going to realize significant change. James one twenty two, do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourself, do what it says. It's all about doing, so when you get recurring dreams and you know something has to change, do one thing that'll get you closer to the next level. When in the year does it come? There are certain dreams that recur during the holiday season. You get the same dream every holiday season. During, whether it's your anniversary, during you going through a financial hardship, you're looking for new opportunities, going through relationships, you're trying to figure out, do you stay in this relationship? Do you go? Do you move? Do you stay? And that dream always come in that season of your life. So you need to pay attention to that. If it shows up every November, or every time you move, or every time you need a decision is done, the dream is tracking every season. It seems like someone is tracking what you're doing and boom, that dream shows up on time just about every time, the same time, every year. That's what you need to pay attention to. Now, before you can call an attack, check the calendar. Okay? Check the calendar to see why does it keep happening every time in this particular season of my life. So you want to make sure you pay attention to that. Psalm one forty seven and three, it says that he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. There are certain things that you need to get healing from in that season. Maybe you've been you've been hurt, you have some bitterness, you have some animosity, you have some jealousy, but until that thing is held up, that dream is always going to keep coming back. Do you wake up afraid or do you wake up instructed? When you have a dream, do you feel like, man, I got the instructions that I've been looking for, that I've been praying for, that I've been hoping for, or do you wake up just afraid, confused? If you wake up afraid and confused, then you know that's not from the Lord because the Bible said God is not the author of confusion. He's gonna bring clarity. A message leaves instruction, an attack leaves dread. So when God gives you a message, it gives you an instruction on what to do next. A repeated message gives you something to do. A repeated attack gives you nothing but fear and it usually arrives or schedule same hours, same feeling, and every step brings nothing but fear to you and that is not of God. Write it down, the date, and pray over the pattern. You need to understand the patterns that happen in your life. Fear that keeps a schedule isn't from God. When you have the same nightmares every time of the of the week or of the month or of the year and you have something terrible in your dreams that keeps repeating, that is not from God. You want to pray over that, write the date, keep a dream journal, so you know exactly what to do and when to do it. First Timothy one and seven, it says that, for God has not given us, given you me the spirit of fear, but of of power, of love, and of a sound mind. So you have the authority over the dreams you have. So here's the short prayer that I want you to say with me. Father, you've said this to me more than once. Help me finally hear it. If I already know, give me the courage to take the one step I have been avoiding. If this is grief, walk me through it. If this is fear, take me... Take it out of my sight. Let this be the last time I need to be told I am listening now. And with such a short prayer, you've overcome something that's been taking a long time. So here's what you're going to live with tonight. You know which of the four is yours, we'll cover that. You know the thing that has to change, one thing is to change in your life in order for those recurring dreams to stop. You have a prayer that you can say tonight and you can move on tonight.
