The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

Tafari of Jamaica. He was the foundation of the Rastafarian religion founded by Marcus Garvey. The hairstyle is worn in obeisance to his belief in himself as the incarnate messiah and as such, his being the lion of the tribe of Judah. The loose, flowing hair is to emulate the mane of a lion who is venerated for its power, prowess, and hunting skill. The lion as the king of the jungle is the means by which this religion celebrates their cult of the king. See Rastafarianism. 415. Dream—Dreams are the transmission vehicles of ethereal communication. They serve as the communications channel of the spirit world and act like wavelengths upon which one’s thoughts are dispatched to the mind. Dreams visually communicate sleepers’ activities and sentiments or desires. They do so by mentally displaying submerged thoughts, ideas, or activities buried within the dreamer. When prophetically spurred, dreams send messages and information conveyed by the Lord, or His spiritual agencies, such as the prophetic’s dream angel. These take the form of prophetic dreams where the dreamer is told or shown something while asleep that pertains to or affects his or her waking sphere of life. The prophetic dream distinguishes itself because it uses language, symbolism, and vernacular unique to the dreamer relevant to their waking life or everyday existence. Often these dreams, while they may be sentimentally triggered, have no emotional tie to the dreamer. This is because they are to transmit information to the dreamer not ordinarily or easily received while awake. Initially cryptic, the prophetic dream ends up being decidedly predictive or revelatory. The prophetic vision, on the other hand, does not. It instead presents its facts as the spirit world knows them to be according to a truth often obscured from people’s natural eye or insights.

The prophetic dream, though supernaturally inspired, is communicated by how the dreamer thinks, feels, and sees his or her world and its elements. The prophetic vision ignores these entirely.

The vision reels out to the dreamer how its supernatural sender knows the dreamer’s world to be or become. Genesis 37:19; Deuteronomy 13:1–5. 416.
