I Had A Dream About Jesus

Has Jesus ever come to you in a dream?

He has never specifically come to me, but I think he has symbolized different things to me in dreams.

There are no references in the bible where Jesus visits in a dream, but there are references of the Lord saying he will visit in a vision and speak in a dream (Numbers12:6). The Lord also visits Solomon in a dream and asks him what he wants (1Kings 3:5).

I started thinking about this topic after a friend passed along a newsletter from Jeffrey D. Miller Ministries . Miller is a Jew evangelizing for Jesus who talked about how he met a Jewish man who had a been asking God every night if Jesus was really his son. Then in a dream here's what the Jewish man says happened:

"A short while ago, I was having a great dream when there was a commercial in the dream. In the commercial, Jesus appeared to me saying, 'I am the Son of God!' then I went back to my original dream."

This prompted me to search for more information about Jesus visiting people in dreams. It seems like he's been visiting lots of people, which is definitely biblical.

AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, `THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS; (Acts 2:17)

I found this awesome video that was on CBN. Thousands of Muslims are coming to Christ after having visions and dreams of Jesus.


I also found a web site specifically for Muslims who have dreams about Jesus. It's called the Jesus Visions. I also found a movie called "More Than Dreams." The movie is about five Muslims who become Christians after they had dreams/visions of Jesus.



So this brings me back to the first question I asked, "Have you ever dreamed about Jesus?" What happened after your visit with him? Care to share?

I too have heard of Muslims having visions of Jesus, what a way to be converted, having a direct experience with the Lord!

For several years I had dreams that I was walking in a house and there was a man with me showing me different rooms in the house and things that didn't belong in the house. I think you know what house represents already.

I've never really noticed the man's face or features, but I always thought of him as the "landlord" type character representing God/Jesus.

In one dream I had last year a man came to my front door and brought me a basket of laundry to iron. After he left I was feeling remorseful because I had accepted the job and the wages, but I didn't know how to "Iron"... I think the ironing represented something else and I was very certain that it was the Lord who came to my door.

I can totally relate to these dreams too. A lot of times, I just have a knowing that it's Jesus, but that's typically after I wake up, not during the dream. I can never see what his facial features are either. I also think people in dreams without faces can represent angels and I've had lots of those dreams too.

Hi, I also had a dream about Jesus. I think for the most part of the dream, he was standing in front of me, cloaked in white. I was bowing down and praising Jesus. I think half of my dream consisted of just that. Few days later, I began to see things.

Anonymous - That's cool! When you say you began to see things, what do you mean? In the spirit realm?
