And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams -- Acts 2:17 As the Holy Spirit is poured out in great measure on today's Church, we should anticipate God speaking to us through dreams and visions.

She deals with how to interpret our dreams; how to know when a dream is from God; how to recognize false messages in dreams;what to do when your dream contains a warning; and more.
