What Does It Mean When You Dream About Paranormal Activity

Many people report of strange explainable events that happen during the night or just before you wake up from bed. A lot of these experiences can be a direct link to the dreadful ‘sleep paralysis’ the inability to move in our sleep. Other times dreaming of nightmares that involve paranormal activity are common that are connected to a lack of control in life. Sleep paralysis or ghosts?

Before we determine what falls under the category of “paranormal dreams” we first have to separate if these dream are in fact caused by sleep paralysis, or dreaming of paranormal activity occurring in your house. Their seems to be a fine line when it comes to an actual hallucination right before you get up and a dream involving ghosts. Many people think when they dream of paranormal activity it mean their house or bedroom is haunted, in fact the haunting is actually within. Our dreams speak to us in a metaphoric language that helps you understand where the root of the problem is.

Paranormal dreams are your unconscious mind telling you that their is a disturbance that you are unable to identify with. A common paranormal dream normally takes place right in your house that symbolizes your mind/psyche – an unseen but evil presence that needs to get out.

Similar to possession dreams that reflect an inability to have control over your vices, urges or inner demons; paranormal activity in dreams suggests you need to find the problem that is causing you distress in your life. You will be offered clues in your dream as in what is haunting you, objects found, location of the room and so on.

A haunted house is a haunted mind. Perhaps this haunting relates to your past, or maybe to do with your family life. Only you know the answer to what is haunting you for so long.

God still speaks through dreams today, just as in biblical times. Sometimes, God may send you dream messages directly for specific purposes. Every time you dream, regardless of whether God sends you a special message then, your mind processes thoughts and emotions. If you have asked the Holy Spirit to renew your mind, that process will happen while you’re asleep as well as while you’re awake, giving you some type of inspiration from every dream. Christian dream interpretation steps can help you figure out what God is telling you through your dreams. Here’s how to hear from God through dream interpretation.

What the Bible Says about Christian Dream Interpretation


The Bible features many instances of God speaking to people through dreams. Old Testament examples include Jacob’s dream of angels traveling between heaven and earth on a ladder and King Solomon’s conversation with God in a dream. New Testament examples include the dreams that Joseph and the Magi experienced in the Christmas story dreams, as well as the nightmare that Pontius Pilate’s wife had in the Easter story.

The Holy Spirit speaks to us through dreams, Acts 2:17 says: “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.’” Even when we aren’t aware of God’s messages through our dreams, God is still speaking through them. “For God does speak – now one way, now another – though no one perceives it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds,” declares Job 33:14-15.

Christians should interpret dreams as we do everything else – through the Holy Spirit’s wisdom, the Bible says. 1 Corinthians 2:10 tells us: “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. … What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.” In John 14:26, Jesus explains that the Holy Spirit is a counselor who can help us understand everything (including dreams): “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.”

Shadow People Dreams

One of the most common sightings during sleep paralysis are what many like to call “shadow figures” that seem to lurk in your room. You are basically defenseless as they have the ability to move around as they wish or enjoy holding you down.

Shadow people tend to get a bad reputation, maybe they just want to hang out with you! In any case if you want to get rid of them you must not play into the fear. You can smile as you notice their presence, or maybe wiggle your feet to snap you out of that feeling of being stuck.
