How to Interpret Dreams and Visions Perry Stone

before going to bed and has not eaten a huge meal that is causing the body to work hard to digest while the person is sleeping, he or she normally will have a regular cycle of dreams and sleep quite well. In this setting, it will be rare to have a nightmare or a dirty dream. However, there are times when you have kept your mind clean and you still have a very nasty dream. While this may happen rarely, it causes a person to feel unclean when he or she awakes. The images of the nightmare or seductive dream will remain with that person throughout the day. This is one reason why praying before going to bed and after rising up is very important. In the time of the temples, the Lord instructed the priest to place a lamb on the altar in the morning and in the evening (Exod. 29:39–42). In the morning you begin your workday, and in the evening you are preparing to rest. Prayer can renew your mind in the morning when you begin your day and in the evening as you conclude your day. We no longer apply the physical blood of a slain animal, but through our faith and confession we can apply the blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, and this is how believers overcome Satan (Rev. 12:11).
