Babel or Babylon = "confusion (by mixing)";
|
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
NEGATIVE...
Babel has no positive connotation. It is known as the
tower of confusion. In the spirit when I see the tower of Babel, it
resembles the ‘status quo’ church or those ministries that are trying to
make a name for themselves using externals.. |

BABIES
/ Babe / Baby
|
Definition For:
DREAMS |
POSITIVE...
If you are dreaming of giving birth, it means that there is something
new that you are busy entering into in the spiritual realm. A baby speaks of
a new life and a new aspect in your life and ministry. A baby boy often
speaks of a teaching and leadership type of ministry, whereas a baby girl
speaks of a more prophetic emphasis in your ministry.
NEGATIVE...
If you dream that you lose your child or
baby, it means that you have neglected and lost the promotion in the
spiritual realm. If you dream of neglecting your baby, it means you have not
been using your spiritual gifts. If you dream that you are taking another
person’s baby, it means that you have taken on responsibilities that are not
your own. A baby and child also indicate that this spiritual gift is yet
young in you. It means that you are yet immature in that calling.
|
Definition For:
VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
Babies speak of a new life. They speak of innocence. They are not yet corrupted and have the strongest faith, this is why
Jesus told us to be like little children. Babies also speak of innocence,
humility and purity. In personal ministry I have seen a woman holding a
baby, at one time it was a confirmation because the lady had been believing
for a child. Another time the baby I saw was symbolic for a new ministry
that the Lord was birthing in the person.
Babies speak of the
blessing of the Lord and they are carriers of our blessing. As we pour the
anointing of the Lord into them, they will in turn pour it out to others.
This is why they are often pictures of your ministry, because as you pour
out in ministry, those who receive are blessed and pour it out to others as
well.
I see babies often during
inner healing and when I do I know that the Lord wants to bring healing to
that person with regards to painful events that took place when they were
still a baby.
Speaking of faith in
innocence:
Psalms 8:2 Out of the
mouth of babies and nursing infants have you ordained strength because of
your enemies, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.(GMR)
Speaking of passing on the
blessing:
Psalms 78:6 That the
generation to come might know [them, even] the children [which] should be
born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments:(GMR)
Speaking of birthing a
ministry:
Isaiah 66:7 Before she
travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a
man child.
8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall the earth be
made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as
soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD
[Yahweh]: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? says your
God.(GMR)
Speaking again of ministry:
Galatians 4:23 But he
[who was] of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman
[was] by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the
one from the mount Sinai, which engenders to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which
now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.(GMR)
Speaking of humility:
Matthew 18:3 And said,
Assuredly I say to you, Unless you turn about, and become as little
children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is
great in the kingdom of heaven.(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
If you see a baby in the spirit, it could mean that the
person you are ministering to is yet a babe in their spiritual walk.
Although the revelation could be an external revelation i.e. they are about
to have an actual baby – I am referring here to a symbolic child.
Speaking of immaturity:
Hebrews
5:13 "For every one that useth milk [is] unskillful in the word of
righteousness: for he is a babe." (GMR)

BACK
/ Backbone
|
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
To have a strong backbone in humanistic terms means to
be confident and strong. The back or backbone, speaks of strength and is the center
of the human body. The back is what holds up the body, without it the body
is useless. It also holds up the head. If we compare the back to the Body if
Christ, it would represent the strength and structure of the church. As all
the bones and flesh are held up by the backbone.
The back
also speaks of things being put behind you and being in the past. You might
dreams that you are turning your back on something. Perhaps the Lord is
saying that you must turn your back on your past and let it go. That He has
dealt with the sins of the past.
The back
also speaks of a change of mind. Of going back on something.
Speaking
of forgiveness of past sins:
Isaiah
38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my
soul [delivered it] from the pit of corruption: for you have cast all my
sins behind your back.(GMR)
Speaking
of changing your mind:
Joel
2:14 Who knows [if] he will turn back and change his mind, and leave a
blessing behind him; [even] a meat offering and a drink offering to the LORD
[Yahweh] your God?(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
To be put behind ones back, means to be
rejected. It can also refer to speaking being done behind the back. To break
one’s back, indicates to break ones strength. To break the back of the body
would mean disabling the entire body. To turn your back in battle speaks of fear and
cowardice. To see ones back may indicate that they have turned
their back on the Lord and refuse to hear His word. It would indicate
rebellion and deception.
To turn your back on the
Lord speaks of rebellion and of going along the opposite road to
righteousness.
Speaking of rebellion:
Jeremiah 8:5 "Why [then] is this people of
Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit,
they refuse to return." (GMR)
Speaking of turning your
back on God:
1 Samuel 15:11 It
repents me that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for he is turned back from
following me, and has not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel;
and he cried to the LORD [Yahweh] all night.(GMR)

A badger in the biblical era was used for
it's skin. It's hide was used to make the tent for the tabernacle in the
wilderness as well as the covering within the tabernacle. It speaks of
wealth and prosperity.
Exodus 36:19 And he made
a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering [of]
badgers' skins above [that].(GMR)
Ezekiel 16:10 I clothed
you also with embroidered work, and shod you with badgers' skin, and I
girded you about with fine linen, and I covered you with silk.(GMR)

A bag often represents finance and provision in the
scriptures. Bags were used for money and the shepherd had a shepherd’s bag.
This was the kind of bag David used to put his stones into when confronting
Goliath.
Proverbs 7:20
"He has taken a bag of money with him, [and] will
come home at the appointed day." (GMR)
NEGATIVE...
A bag with holes has a very bad connotation. It refers
to loss and theft. This would indicate that a curse is prevalent in your
life. It means that no matter how hard you work or how much you earn, it
seems to slip through your fingers. Such a curse is often generational or a
result of direct sin in your life, which has opened the door to the enemy.
Haggai 1:6
"You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not
enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe you, but
there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages [to put it] into a
bag with holes." (GMR)

BAKE
/ Bakes / Baker
|
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
To bake bread, means to prepare and make it ready for
eating. Raw dough would indicate a ministry or a people that is not yet
mature. To bake that dough would mean to prepare and ready such a person or
ministry. We saw this once in the spirit, where the Lord showed us dough and
told us that we must go and shape and make ready His people!
Note: to
prepare the dough, it needs to pass through the fire (See:
Fire).
Dough
speaks also of those things that we own and are assets. Consider the
following passages:
Ezekiel 44:30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all [things], and
every oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the
priest's: you shall also give to the priest the first of your dough, that he
may cause the blessing to rest in your house.(GMR)
Numbers 15:21 Of the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD [Yahweh]
a heave offering in your generations.(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
Seeing a bowl of uncooked dough could also be a warning
to watch out for the leaven. Jesus says it well in:
Matthew 16:6 "Then
Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
of the Sadducees." (GMR)
In this case, leaven is seen as legalism,
works and false teaching. Just one part of leaven, leavens the whole dough.
The following passage speaks of
dough that is not leavened. In this context it speaks of not
completing a task and following through due to laziness or sin:
Hosea 7:4 They [are] all
adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, [who] ceases from raising after
he has kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.(GMR)

DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
We often see balances in the spirit which have swung to
our favor. Often as we have trusted the Lord for a miracle, we will see the
balances swung in our favor, indicating that our answer is on it's way! To be judged correctly is to see the balances at an
equilibrium or to have them weighed in your favor. Balances being swung to
your favor also speaks of favor, prosperity and provision.
Speaking of being judged:
Job 31:6 Let me be
weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.(GMR)
Speaking of justice:
Proverbs 16:11 A just
weight and balance [are] the LORD [Yahweh]'S: all the weights of the bag
[are] his work.(GMR)
Speaking of provision:
Leviticus 19:36 Just
balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall you have: I [am]
the LORD [Yahweh] your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
To see a balance means to be judged. In the case of
Belshazzar, his judgment was not so positive:
Daniel 5:27 "TEKEL; You
are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting." (GMR)
Balances swung against you have a negative
connotation and either represent sin in your life or indicate that you have
great odds going against you.

BALDNESS
/ Bald / Hairless |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
Baldness is seldom positive, but in a positive context, it can speak of
mourning. Of a heart that is contrite before the Lord and repentant.
Isaiah 22:12 And in that
day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to
baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
Baldness has mostly a negative
connotation and speaks of shame, being uncovered and exposed. To dream of
being bald speaks of being exposed. If you are a woman and you dream of
being bald, this would be negative because in scripture your hair speaks of
glory and for it to be shaved off, would indicate shame and losing the glory
the Lord has given you.
The priests of Baal also
shaved their heads as part of their cult.
Speaking
of demon worship:
Amos 8:10
"And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into
lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon
every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only [son], and the end
of it as a bitter day." (GMR)
Speaking
of shame:
Ezekiel 7:18 They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror
shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all
their heads.(GMR)

BALL |
Definition For:
DREAMS |
POSITIVE...
A ball is a childhood toy. In a positive context, it
represents childhood joys and fun. It would represent something from your
childhood that brought pleasure and peace.
NEGATIVE...
In an internal dream, seeing a ball in a negative
context, it would mean that you are being tossed from here to there and are
not on a solid foundation..
|
Definition For:
VISIONS |
NEGATIVE...
If seen in a vision, a ball represents one who is being
tossed to and from by the enemy. Perhaps the person in question has been in
confusion or has been trying to do many things at once. Balls are easily tossed
and it would also mean that you are not secure in your position in Christ,
because the enemy is able to buffet you easily.
Isaiah 22:18 "He will
surely violently turn and toss you [like] a ball into a large country: there
shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory [shall be] the shame of
your lord's house." (GMR)

BALM
/ Balsam |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
To see the healing balm in vision means that the Holy
Spirit is bringing healing to hurts. Often when I have ministered inner
healing I have seen the Lord rub a healing balm on a heart that is cut and
torn. As the balm is rubbed in, the wounds and cuts are healed.
Jeremiah 51:8
"Babylon is suddenly fallen and
destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed." (GMR)
NEGATIVE...
To have a fly in the balm means that the medicine is
ruined and brings harm instead of good. The smell is unpleasant and instead
of bringing healing, it brings harm instead.
Ecclesiastes 10:1 "Dead flies
cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth an unpleasant odour: [so
does] a little folly to him that has a reputation for wisdom [and]
honour." (GMR)

BAND |
Band of Iron and Brass put around the stump of a tree. |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
NEGATIVE...
This has a negative connotation. To put a band around
the stump of a tree means to stunt and prevent further growth. It speaks of
a spiritual lack of growth. It speaks of being held back and being prevented
from progressing in what the Lord has for you. To place such a band upon a
person or ministry, would mean to curse it and prevent it from further
progress. Nebudchanezzar was hindered and cursed in this way:
Daniel 4:15 "Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, with a band of iron
and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew
of heaven, and [let] his lot [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth:" (GMR)

BANQUET |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
A banquet in vision
speaks of the Lord’s favor. It speaks of a place of blessing, abundance and
royalty. Not just providing a need, but rather providing the desire of the
heart in excess of any need. David says here in:
Psalms 23:5 "You arrange a kings banquet
before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my
container is overflowing." (GMR)
.
NEGATIVE...
If seen in a vulgar
sense, a banquet can be seen as gluttony, excess and evil intentions, Peter
says it well in:
1 Peter 4:3 "For the [chronos] time past of [our] life
may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in
lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and
abominable idolatries:" (GMR).

BAPTISM |
Strong’s Definition:
907
baptizo (bap-tid’-zo);
from a derivative of 911; to immerse, submerge; to make
overwhelmed (i.e. fully wet); used only (in the N. T.) of ceremonial
ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism:
KJV—Baptist, baptize, wash.
|
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
Baptism speaks of leaving the old behind. The being
raised up in new life. To put away the old. To let go of the past..
NEGATIVE...
Paul makes us aware also of the baptism unto death.
Death to the flesh is painful and is brought about by means of the Cross and
by Fire (See: Altar, Cross, Fire)
Romans 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with
him by baptism into death: that just as Christ was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of [zoe]
life." (GMR)

BAREFOOT |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
To be barefoot, or to see one barefoot, speaks of
humility and transparency. To be a servant. It means that the person in
question has nothing to hide. This is apparent in the account where Moses
was told to take his shoes off holy ground:
Exodus 3:4 And when the
LORD [Yahweh] saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the
midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
5 And he said, Draw not near here: put off your shoes from off your feet,
for the place whereon you stand [is] holy ground.(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
In a negative light, to be barefoot means to be exposed
and unprotected. It also speaks of mourning, vulnerability and poverty.
Mourning: 2 Samuel
15:30 "And David went up by the ascent of [mount] Olivet, and wept as he went
up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot:" (GMR)
Poverty: Isaiah 20:4 So
shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the
Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with [their]
buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.(GMR)

BARN |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
A full barn or storehouse always speaks of blessing and
prosperity in accordance with the promises of the Lord. See:
Deuteronomy
28:8 "The LORD [Yahweh] shall command the blessing upon you in your
storehouses, and in all that you set your hand to; and he shall bless you in
the land which the LORD [Yahweh] your God is giving you." (GMR)
We have often seen the storehouse of the Lord
in the spirit and it is overflowing
with every good thing and the fulfillment of every need known to man. There
is no lack in the Kingdom of Heaven and when we have seen His heavenly
storehouse, it contains gold, gems and much provision!
NEGATIVE...
The enemy also steals from the believer and often in
the spirit I have seen myself go into Satan's kingdom and take back what he
has stolen. I have seen his storehouse also, in the spirit and two
doorkeepers on either side of the entrance usually guard it. At the name of
Jesus the thief that is found will return seven fold. What Satan has stolen
and what the enemy’s children earn, is to be put in the hands of the
righteous i.e. in the hands of every believer.
Job 27:16 "Though he
heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17 He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it]
on, and the innocent shall divide the silver." (GMR)

"And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being
interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, [and] of the country of
Cyprus," (GMR)
Barnabas was an encourager and once he had mentored Paul,
he took Mark under his wing when Paul and he separated. |

BARS
/ Bar |
Definition For:
DREAMS |
NEGATIVE...
Bars of a prison always have a negative connotation. It
speaks of bondage, loss of freedom and being trapped. Often someone places
themselves behind bars for protection from rejection. By putting up these
bars or ‘walls’ they feel secure. I have not ever seen a positive image for a bar
or prison, for Christ came to set us free and not to keep us in bondage. We
are bond-slaves - slaves willing to remain. We are not forced to remain.
Speaking of being
oppressed:
Jonah 2:6 I went down to
the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for
ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD [Yahweh] my
God.(GMR)
|
Definition For:
VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
A bar can speak of strength.
We have seen
the Lord give someone a golden bar that looked similar to a baton. It spoke
of being called of the Lord and of being used by Him. It can speak also of
the Lord giving you strength and can be a symbol of blessing:
Psalms 147:13 For he has
strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within
you.
14 He makes peace [in] your borders, [and] fills you with the finest of the
wheat.(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
A prison or bars speak of captivity by sin, oppression
from the enemy or by personal choice. As Christians we are to speak the good
news to free those in bondage. This bondage may be to sin, past hurts,
demonic oppression or fear.
Often in counseling someone who is under bondage from
past hurts I see them as that hurt child, having shut themselves up in a
prison to defend themselves from further hurt. Unfortunately by hiding in
this way, they also prevent the Lord from reaching in and so they need to be
healed and led out of those walls. As I lead that person out of that prison, in the spirit,
the Lord leads them to an open meadow where He holds and lifts them into His
arms.
This is our mandate as believers:
Isaiah 61:1
"The
Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD [Yahweh] has anointed
me to preach good news to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to [those that are] bound;" (GMR)

BASEMENT |
A lower division of a home or building. |
Definition For:
DREAMS AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE...
When dreaming of a basement, it usually represents a
‘going down’ or a time of humbling. The saying ‘promotion begins at the
basement’ is still very prevalent in the spiritual life today. Paul called
himself ‘the scum of the earth’ and if you are looking to the Lord for
promotion or to move on to the next phase in your spiritual life, be sure
that the promotion begins in the basement!
I remember one case where I was giving direction to
someone with regards to their ministry. I saw them standing proud. Then by
the floor, I saw this small door that led to their promotion. The message
was very clear – before they could enter into the next phase of their
ministry, they would be humbled first. True enough, not long after that
revelation, the person in question had to humble themselves to people they
had left behind on bad terms with, along with being ostracized in their
current ministry position. The good news however is that this person did
indeed rise up into that promotion!
Speaking
of being humble:
Psalms
34:18 The LORD [Yahweh] [is] near to those that are of a broken heart; and
saves those who are of a contrite spirit.(GMR)

BASKET |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
A basket filled with fruit or bread speaks of good
things. Blessings and provision. An empty basket speaks of lack and a curse.
A good example of this contrast is found in:
Deuteronomy 28:5
"Blessed [shall be] your basket and
your store." (GMR)
Deuteronomy 28:17
"Cursed [shall be] your basket and
your store." (GMR)

BASIN |
Definition For:
VISIONS |
A basin used for washing, speaks of cleansing and
purifying. A basin is not like a bath or baptism where the entire body is
immersed, but rather just the feet are washed. The prime example used in
scripture is:
John 13:5
"After that he poured water into a basin, and
began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel with
which he was girded." (GMR)
As we walk through the world we become contaminated
with its ways and its curses. To ‘wash ones feet’ means to cleanse yourself
of the curses and sin you passed through for that day. This should be a
daily activity for a Christian.

BATH |
Definition For:
VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
Dreaming of a bath speaks of a complete
cleansing, holiness and sanctification. While cleansing with water from a basin simply washes the feet,
to immerse oneself in a bath speaks of a total cleansing. This is much like
water baptism where the old is left behind and the new brought to life.
Speaking of holiness:
Numbers 8:6 Take the
Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
7 And thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of
purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash
their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.(GMR)
Speaking of redemption:
Ezekiel 36:25 Then will
I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: from all your
filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you
a heart of flesh.(GMR)
Sanctification:
Ephesians 5:26 That he
might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the [rhema]
word,(GMR)
NEGATIVE...
I was given a dream to interpret once, where a lady
dreamed that she was made to bath in a bathtub of vile water. She shared
that as a child she was made to wash the bathtub of her father, who due to
his illness did not bath often, so when he did, left the most vile water
and ring around the tub.
This dream indicated that there were things in her past
that she was not free from. The rejection and hurts from the past (the
filth) was still with her and she was not free to move on now in a new
cleansed life. This led to a ministry of inner healing and dealing
with the bitterness in her heart, with the Lord raising
her up into a new confidence in herself in Christ.
In this
case repentance from bitterness was necessary, because by retaining the
bitterness, it was dirty in the eyes of the Lord.
Speaking
of repentance:
James
4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse [your] hands,
[you] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [you] double minded.(GMR)
2
Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God.(GMR)

BATS
/ Bat |
Unclean animals. |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
NEGATIVE...
Bats are creatures of the night and often represent the
works of the enemy in visions. I have often seen bats in vision and they are
usually tied to occultic oppression. Once in ministry, I saw in the spirit a
certain person encased in the wings of a bat. As it turned out, they had
been in contact with someone from a false religion and had been suffering a
‘lashback’ from ministering to them.
There are other animals that have
a negative connotation,
they are listed here in:
Leviticus 11:13
"And these [are they which]
you shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they
[are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,…
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the
lapwing, and the bat." (GMR)

BEAR |
The bear almost always speaks of a curse operating with
destruction. The bear is known to tear at its pray and is a violent
creature. In scripture it is used in a negative light although the one
quality it is given is that it protects its young. |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
The bear is seen as one who protects its young.
Speaking of a desire to protect.
2 Samuel 17:8 "For, said Hushai, you know
your father and his men, that they [be] mighty men, and they [be] chafed in
their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and your father
[is] a man of war, and will not lodge with the people." (GMR)
NEGATIVE...
The bear speaks of an attack of destruction from
Satan
who is known as the devourer. When I see a bear in the spirit I know that
the person in question is under a curse and that the enemy is causing things
in their life to be destroyed.
2 Kings 2:24 "And he turned back, and
looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD [Yahweh]. And there
came out two she bears out of the wood, and mauled forty two of the children." (GMR)

BEARD |
Definition For:
DREAMS |
POSITIVE...
Dreaming of a beard represents the appearance you
give others. If the beard it shaved, it means then that you will be showing
a ‘new face’ to the world. To remove or grow a beard changes the entire look
of a person. The shaving of one’s beard could mean putting some things away
and facing the world afresh.
NEGATIVE...
If a woman dreams of having a beard, this would have a
negative connotation as this would be a disgrace to her. It would mean that
she is trying to put on the appearance of being a man and perhaps letting go
of her femininity.
|
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
A beard in scripture spoke of strength and
favor. For a man to have a long beard was considered a sign of favor from
the Lord.
NEGATIVE...
To have one’s beard shaved off was a sign of disgrace
and humility. Shaving of the beard was often done in mourning to show
extreme grief. David’s servants were made a disgrace by their beards being
shaved off:
2 Samuel 10:5 "When they told [it] to David, he sent to meet
them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Wait at
Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return." (GMR)

BLACK |
Definition For:
DREAMS |
POSITIVE
and NEGATIVE...
When dreaming about a black person, the first thing you must do is
identify how you feel about this race in the natural. If you are black
yourself, then dreaming of a black person might have a good connotation. I
do remember one time though when a black man I knew had grown up feeling
uncomfortable around blacks (not having been exposed to other blacks when
growing up) so when he dreamed of a black person, it had a negative
connotation to him.
So
identify how you feel about black normally and it will help you identify
what they could mean in your dreams.
|
Definition For:
VISIONS |
NEGATIVE...
Black is very seldom positive in
a vision. Unless referring to a specific person, culture or race, the color
black almost always speaks of darkness and the work of the enemy. You might
see a person bound by black chains. Perhaps you will see a person in a dark
room. All of these are negative. When ministering personally I have often
seen a person covered by a black, death shroud in the spirit. When I see
this, then I know they are under demonic attack.
I have also seen cities with a dark cloud over them. When I see
this, then I know I am seeing the work of the enemy in that
area.

Definition For:
DREAMS
AND
VISIONS |
POSITIVE...
While dreaming of being in a
black room or being surrounded by black would have a negative connotation, you
might dream of a black person. Once again if you feel comfortable around black
people or are black yourself, then that person would mean something good in your
dreams.
Being black also speaks of
being different or standing out – but in a positive sense. Consider the
following passages:
Song of Solomon 1:5 "I [am]
black, but attractive, O you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as
the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not look
down on me, because I [am] black, because the sun has beaten down me: my
mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards;
[but] my own vineyard I have not kept." (GMR)
NEGATIVE...
The color black will more
likely be negative than positive in a dream or vision. Here are some scriptures
to consider:
Speaking of oppression:
Job
30:30 "My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat." (GMR)
Speaking of mourning:
Jeremiah
4:28 "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I
have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not repent, neither will I turn
back from it." (GMR)
Speaking of Sin:
Luke 11:34 "The light of the
body is the eye: therefore when your eye is single, your whole body also is full
of light; but when [your eye] is evil, your body also [is] full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the
light which is in you be not darkness.
36 If your whole body therefore
[be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as
when the bright shining of a candle does give you light." (GMR)
1 Corinthians 4:5 "Therefore
judge nothing before the [kairos] time, until the Lord comes, who will both
bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make visible the counsels
of the hearts: and then every man shall receive praise from God." (GMR)
Speaking of the Antichrist:
Daniel 8:23 "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are
come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up." (GMR)
Speaking of the work of the
enemy:
Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against authorities, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]." (GMR)
Colossians 1:13 "Who has
delivered us from the authority of darkness, and has translated [us] into the
kingdom of the Son of his [agape] love:" (GMR)

BLUE |
Definition For:
DREAMS
AND VISIONS |
Blue is almost always a
positive picture in dreams and visions – representing the Kingdom of heaven. |
POSITIVE...
Blue is a royal color in the
scriptures and you will find it mentioned many times in the tabernacle of Moses.
Blue linen, lace and cloths were used to cover the many instruments in the
tabernacle and this color represents the Kingdom of Heaven. It speaks of the
throne room of the Lord. If you were to see a vehicle in blue, it would mean
that your ministry has been given to you by the Lord. It is a representation of
the Kingdom of God. Blue clothing also speaks of representing the Kingdom of
God. If you saw someone dressed in blue, it would mean that they have been sent
by the Lord as a representative of the Kingdom of God. In other words, they are
called to the ministry.
Some scriptures to meditate on:
Exodus 26:1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains [of] fine
twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubims of cunning
work shall you make them." (GMR)
Being called to ministry:
Exodus 28:31 "And you shall make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue."
(GMR)
Exodus 39:21 "And they bound the
breastplate by his rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it
might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might
not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD [Yahweh] commanded Moses.
22 And he made the robe of the
ephod [of] woven work, all [of] blue.
23 And [there was] a hole in
the midst of the robe, as the hole of a habergeon, [with] a band round about the
hole, that it should not rend." (GMR)
NEGATIVE...
The only time you might see the
color blue in a negative light is when it refers to bruising as in wounds and
pain. Yet even in this a bruise in the natural indicates a healing that is
taking place beneath the skin. So while the bruise indicates a past hurt, it
also represents a healing process.
Speaking of hurt and healing:
Proverbs 20:30 "As the blueness of a bruise cleanses away evil: so [do] blows the
rooms of the inward man." (GMR)
Speaking of hurt:
Jeremiah
30:12 "For thus says the LORD [Yahweh], Your bruise [is] incurable, [and] your
wound [is] grievous." (GMR)
