What Kind of Dream Was That?: The Sources, Types, and Symbols of Dreams (Hearing God through Dreams)

You wake from a dream that won't let go of you. Was that God — or just a hard week catching up with you in your sleep?

Most people are left with only two bad options: dismiss every dream as meaningless, or treat every dream as a message from heaven. What Kind of Dream Was That? gives you a third way — a biblical, practical framework for actually knowing the difference.

Book Two in the Hearing God Through Dreams series, this book walks through Scripture — Joseph's sheaves, Pharaoh's cattle and grain, Solomon at Gibeon, Daniel's visions, the Magi's warning, Nebuchadnezzar's dreams — to answer the one question every dreamer eventually asks: not "what does this mean?" but "what kind of dream was that?"

Inside, you'll learn to recognise:

• Source — divine, soulish, or oppressive, tested by fruit rather than feeling


• Type — instructional, directional, warning, revelatory, or genuinely prophetic


• Language — how Scripture's own symbols work inside a story, never as a fixed dictionary

You'll also find an honest look at sleep paralysis and night terrors from the research literature, a sober word on prophetic gifting, and practical checklists you'll return to long after you finish reading.

If you've been dismissing your dreams — or exhausting yourself trying to decode every single one — this book will not tell you every dream is a message from God. It will teach you, patiently and biblically, how to tell the difference.
