How to Interpret Dreams and Visions Perry Stone

WRITING DOWN WHAT YOU SEE King Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream of the metallic image was so dramatic, yet when he awoke, he could not recall what he had dreamed. When Daniel began his explanation, the king remembered all of the details and exalted Daniel in the kingdom (Dan. 2). I have discovered by experience that the moment you awake from a dream, and you believe it may have a spiritual connotation, it is important to write it down on paper. For many years I have kept either a notebook or paper and a good pen on the nightstand beside our bed near the lamp. At numerous times I would awaken after dreaming or actually hearing a word or phrase spoken in my ear, and I would turn on the lamp, grab the pen, and begin to write down the word or the events seen in the dream. On the other hand there were a few occasions that I would awaken and think, “I will remember that in the morning,” as I was too exhausted to get up and make the effort to record the dream. Sadly, there were times when I awoke and could not recall the details that may have been a significant part of the meaning of the dream. Occasionally that day I would be traveling and would see or hear something that would trigger my memory, like a small light from a flashlight suddenly appearing in a dark room. The small memory jolt , however, was not enough to bring any substantial light to reflect on the dream.
