NIGHTMARES
Biblical dream symbol meaning
How nightmares appeared in your dream
Dreaming of experiencing nightmares or terrifying dreams — Nightmares may represent spiritual attack, harassment by unclean spirits, or God's warning of judgment and danger. They can indicate areas of fear, unconfessed sin, or demonic oppression that need to be addressed through prayer and repentance.
Job 7:14Deuteronomy 28:67Jude 1:8
Dreaming of being tormented by recurring nightmares — Recurring nightmares symbolize persistent spiritual bondage, unforgiveness, or strongholds that require deliverance and the covering of Christ's blood. These may signal the need for spiritual warfare and renewed commitment to walking in God's peace.
2 Timothy 1:7Psalm 91:5-6Isaiah 54:14
Dreaming of others experiencing nightmares — Witnessing another's nightmares represents a calling to intercessory prayer for those under spiritual attack or living in fear. This dream may reveal the spiritual condition of those around you who need deliverance and God's protection.
