HlMelody Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpok1519 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 no. theres no proof or evidence of this. thisis why the evidence suggest that no the devil does not manipulate your dreams. If he did, he would have already goten everyone to jump off a cliff, or something. reason why the devil cannot manipulate your dreams; 1) your dreams are consciously imbedded from your own thoughts, actions or experiences. To say he devil can control your thoughts, experience an actions is to say you have no freedom of will, or control over your own self. 2) if the devil could maniplate dreams, why not just manipulate every single human being and woman and child and animal to just kill each other while they sleep walk? Or, heck, if the devil can control your own free-will through morphean suspension? Boom; everyones a murderer, boom, everyone goes to hell, boom, the devil wins his almighty quest for glory to become god by shoving everyone into hell. 3) why stop at dreams? Why not manipulate traffic lights? Why not manipulate meteors to crash into earth? why not manipulate other demons to kill everyone? Why not manipulate entire world governments to create nuclear holocaust? hy not manipulate animals to kill everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin10916 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 ^ dreams can be affected by external things. Lucid dreaming proves this totally, as I was at one point great at manipulating my own dreams. And there are limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpok1519 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 ^ yes, you can manipulate your dreams, but no one else can, metaphorical evil deity or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin10916 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 but external things like room temperature and etc.. influence your thoughts and the level of difficulty. And i also discovered that when its freezing in my room during winter, my dreams take place during fall... I don't know why. Also, if a person says something to you when you are asleep but lucid, there words can become pseudoreality in your head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiCat Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 So satan can't manipulate dreams but can he make you dream the small things which you would never want to dream of? The other night I had a weird dream and it was harry potter-esque. And one of the characters (bellatrix) said to me "you don't believe in Christ" a few times. I'm worried about that and I don't know whether it was my consciousness or satan that made me dream this. I'm worried and I would appreciate it if someone explains this.

Reverie Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I would not say he can manipulate the dreams but I will say he can place thoughts in your head. I believe he is allowed only so much by what God let's him do. I think thoughts can be placed in your head but he can no dictate what you choose to do. As for dreams I know God allowed Satan to inflict sores and things on Job so I believe he allows the Devil to place dreams in our heads too.

radiance Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sure one can dream about their day's activities but Satan can give bad dreams. My advice is to pray before going to bed, resist the devil and he will flee. 2) if the devil could maniplate dreams, why not just manipulate every single human being and woman and child and animal to just kill each other while they sleep walk?

The devil tried to kill Jesus when He was born through Herod but God did not allow it- it wasn't God's plan. This does not mean that Satan cannot manipulate dreams though. ---- You seem to be a humanist, mpok1519......just my observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps you're just subconciously insecure with your faith for some reason. I think it is safe to say your subconscious was doing the work there.

Christians can also be Jewish. Just bc I interpret much of the Bible as metaphor does not make me any less or more of a Christian than another. ---------- but no, the devil is not manipulating anyone's dreams. your dreams are the product of your own consciousness and perceptions. there have been plenty of people who pray before bed but still have nightmares about demons, devils, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm fairly certain he can not. The whole aspect of being dead to the power of sin I would think plays a larger role. That and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycawbz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I was of the mind that Satan cannot read our thoughts. That would also lead me to believe that he cannot manipulate our mind through dreams and whatnot, or plant thought sin our head for that matter. That is not to say that he cannot force us to think things using a physical means. Example: Satan can use pornography to induce thoughts of lust in a person. But I don't think that he can actually go into the mind and place thoughts of lust in our heads. That's just our own sinful and self-serving nature. Maybe I've completely missed the mark here, but that's my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its normal to have doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Sent Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yes, Satan can manipulate dreams. It's one of the ways witch's and sorcerers speak with Satan. No joke, if you don't believe they exist then take up the arguement with the Bible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take that up with reality. and if Satan does manipulatevyour dreams, he must have one insane sense of humor. the other night I was naked on stage with a guitar infront of thousands of people, and I don't even know how to play guitar. AND then a t-rex chased me through the neighborhood. lol Im almost positive a morpheanic sorceress was the cause of it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say Satan manipulates everyone's dreams nor that sorcerers do. Lucifer can manipulate dreams though, Why not? His demons can take over people's bodies, but you don't believe in possession now either I can assume from how you act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume someone insults you when there was none. This is a sign of paranoid hypertension you might be experiencing. ------------- anyways, no, theres no evidence or substantial proof (theres support, yes, but not much) of dream manipulation, or bodily possession. So I wouldn't take something theres no evidence for seriously. Unless you like believing in myths, and therefore let most of your major life choices be dominated and predicated by dellusion.

x_Michael_x Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Can satan manipulate dreams? Can he make you dream of something that you would never want to dream about?[/b] Think about it like this, did god enter the minds of those that served him. If the answer is yes then saitan who is the opposite of god, could easily enter the minds of his followers or those weakend by temptations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Robin Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ^Please don't think of Satan as "the opposite of God". No, God is 1000000000x greater and more powerful than Satan. Not opposite. Thank you. (I'd be glad to explain my reasoning for this if you wish) [/off-topic] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
