THE BOOK OF IMAGES

Alias

Description

The Book of Images highlights dreaming as the major avenue of communication between supernatural beings and man. This book demonstrates that the supernatural realm controls the physical realm and yearns to reveal hidden secrets and connect with mortal man “Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing His secret plan to His servants the prophets…Amos 3:7 AMP”
From Larry Page the inventor of Google, to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to Elias Howe and the humble sewing machine, some of the world’s most celebrated inventions have come from eureka inspiration in mid-sleep. As the world counts down to an inevitable end, God is still in the business of revealing new inventions, unique ideas and great events that will shape the final days and help people around the world live longer, healthier and more-productive lives.
The Book of Images can be likened to a dreamer’s dictionary where the author interprets the meaning of vast images, symbols, figures, names and events one might encounter while dreaming. This book is intended to help dreamers understand the significance of dreaming and explain simple dreaming terminology to unlock the basic universal meaning of dream languages that will help to unravel the significance of their dreams.
Although there are no universally acceptable interpretations for all dreams due to socio-cultural differences, this book will assist any reader to develop a healthy attitude towards dreaming and understand the meaning of their dreams.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose and life of every man is determined by who he listens to and draws spiritual guidance from 1 (Proverbs 4 KJV). Man’s innate desire and instinct is to be connected to a higher being.
Before the fall of man, God communicated with humanity directly without the use of other mediums of communication. When God approached Adam and Eve as usual to talk to them, they hid themselves because they had sinned against God. Our fallen nature separates us from the Father. “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day so the man and his wife hid and kept themselves hidden from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
God is always willing to talk to His children, but because of our sinful nature, we cannot withstand the presence of God. “For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14b KJV). Adam and Eve hid themselves from God even when He had not yet banished them from the Garden of Eden. After the deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians, God strove to talk with the Israelites directly from Mount Sinai, but they were terrified. See Exodus 19:1–24 (KJV).
After the fall of man, God’s informal mode of divine communication with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden ceased. To fill the vacuum, other channels for spiritual inspiration, guidance, and revelation through His prophets and angels to humankind began to develop. These included signs, body language, dreams, and visions. The most common medium of communication between God and man are dreams. In Genesis 20:1–7 (KJV), God spoke to the King of Gerar, Abimelech, in a dream to warn him off Abraham’s wife. 2 Nothing would have made King Abimelech recognize the divine element to that dream except the knowledge that dreams are a mode of divine communication.
God and nature attempt to communicate with humanity regularly, but as a result of man’s fallen nature, these messages often go unheard. Many do not understand the language of dreams. Even plants and animals try to commune with humanity, but man fails to understand them as well. King Solomon, son of David, was one of the men of old who understood the language of birds.
This body of work sets out to explain the meaning of various dream scenarios to assist a dreamer in understanding the language of dreams and aid them in communing deliberately with God.
TYPES OF DIVINE COMMUNICATION
Vision . A vision is a trancelike, supernatural experience that conveys more clarity than dreams. It is a conscious manifestation of connectedness to the divine. It can present itself as an apparent motion, picture, image, or mental representation of events or abstract worlds. Although some individuals can have visions at will, involuntary visions are more common. Visions occur when a divine force subdues the physical senses to communicate with the inner spirit.
A vision could be a direct message from God or other divine entities. They overpower our physical senses to display pictures, images, or events in order to communicate a message. During a vision, the seven senses are stimulated. The senses of sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing are heightened. The human consciousness and brain can then perceive objects formerly unnoticed. A vision can occur unexpectedly, although rare people can anticipate and control their visions.
Visions are more common in young people than dreams. Joel prophesied that, in the last human civilization, young men will see visions, while old men will dream dreams (Joel 2:8 KJV). 3
Dream . Dreaming occurs during a sleep state, when an inner spirit entity transits from a physical body into the dream world. A dream is the past, present, and future—the continuous life experience of an individual. One major difference between a vision and a dream is that, in dreams, heavy symbolism is used to communicate.
As such, wisdom and deep understanding are required to interpret dreams. This is why Joel prophesied that old men would dream, while young men would have visions. Their wealth of experience, due to age, guarantees them more wisdom to decode the heavy symbolism. One must be in a sleep state to have a dream experience.
Dreams are a means of communication between God, divine entities, supernatural powers or aliens, and human beings, through the use of motion pictures, images, objects, sounds, and other higher mediums. A dream is a true-life experience that could reveal to humanity a possibility of their past, present, and future lives.
Prior to the fall of man, from the Garden of Eden, Adam did not need to fall asleep to gain access to the dream world or spiritual realm. Adam and Eve could live in both the dream and physical world effortlessly. Their physical consciousness and inner human, or spirit being, coexisted simultaneously and harmoniously.
In other words, because the physical body and soul, or spirit, of humanity existed in harmony, humans could live in several realms of consciousness simultaneously. Humans did not require meditation, rest, or other forms of flesh subjugation to enable their souls to transit or project into other abstract worlds.
Adam could worship God with the angels in heaven while his physical body remained tethered to the earth. This meant that he could connect his spirit self to heaven. When God would visit Adam in the Garden of Eden, Adam could discuss with Him with ease, as naturally as two men sharing a coffee.
During the transfiguration of Christ, Jesus’s disciples were privileged to glimpse the existence of a supernatural, parallel plane. It existed alongside the physical but was formerly shielded from their gaze. They witnessed entities from a separate world seamlessly while awake (Matthew 17:1–4 KJV). 4
The fact that Christ had to be transformed, shining like the sun and even a change of raiment, before his divine visitation further illustrates how distinct the spiritual realm is from the physical.
After the forerunners of humanity sinned against God, humanity’s privilege of direct communication with the Creator was cut off. Although God could not behold evil, He still wanted a relationship with the humans He created. This is why indirect means for spiritual connection came into being. The conduits available to humans for supernatural communication, including dreams, visions, and prophecy (Joel 2:28b KJV). 5
Every individual is endowed with a unique means of communing with God. The gift of divine communication may present itself through physical hearing, visions, divine inspiration, naturally occurring discernment, or perception. Some people can even easily connect to scripted waves of thoughts already existing in the universe or from divine entities.
The dream-life experience is a vastly accessible means of communication, available to diverse entities. As documented in the Bible, God regularly used dreams to speak to His children.
Hear now My words, If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision, and I will speak to him in a dream. (Numbers 12:6 AMP) 6
But God came to Abim
