Thanks for the reply... am just saying that I usually find interpretations so mystical and subjective. Not that I do not believe that dreams are not meaningful or a part of normal human function.... I guess I am saying that I have heard/read about difinitive interpretation of dreams and other less tangible phenomena... that simply cannot be represented as fact.
Yet... I am aware that some productive and tangible things have arisen from dreams such as the accounts you mention. Dream interpretation was huge in the Bible... look at the other Joseph from the old testament... or Daniel...etc. Yet those are historical accounts after the fact.
When someone makes a prophetic interpretation of what a dream should mean... the best I could do is put it on a shelf and give it respectful consideration... if time proves it out... it proves it out.
I have had "Prophetic Words" spoken over me from complete strangers which are bang on. I also know of situations where they were completely wrong.
So therein lies my uncertainty on the matter of interpretation of dreams or any other less tangible phenomena. Would like to believe... but has yet to prove itself out. For me anyway.
