聖經與解夢bible-dreams>English bible-dreams

This book interprets dreams according to biblical principles. We are not inventors but discoverers, for the Bible contains many examples of dream interpretation. From Genesis, Joseph—who was devoted to dreams throughout his life—stands as a central figure; his life mirrors that of Jesus, earning him the title “the little Jesus.” Another renowned figure is the prophet Daniel, who was taken to Babylon with the exiled Israelites. Because of his accurate interpretations, he was favored by the Babylonian king and served as the royal interpreter of dreams.

Dreams, therefore, may be called ancient treasures of the Bible. The New Testament also records several dream-related events. For instance, when the Holy Spirit caused the Virgin Mary to conceive without marital union, her betrothed, Joseph, intended to dismiss her quietly. Yet that very night, God appeared to him in a dream, revealing that Mary’s conception was by the Holy Spirit and that she was chosen to bear the Savior. Accepting this divine charge, Joseph took Mary as his wife and faithfully protected both her and the child.

Another example: when Jesus was born in the manger, three Magi came from the East to worship Him—the newborn King of Israel. After paying homage, they had planned to return and report to King Herod, but God warned them in a dream not to do so, to prevent Herod from killing the Child. Likewise, God spoke to Joseph in a dream, instructing him to take the family to Egypt to escape the massacre. They fled by night, thus avoiding Herod’s decree to slaughter all boys in Bethlehem two years old and under. The Child was preserved, and through Him, the world was saved. These are the principal examples of dreams found in the New Testament.

Sometimes dreams can be interpreted literally—that is, the person seen in the dream represents that very person, and the events in the dream signify the actual events themselves. This occurs when the dreamer temporarily has no interpreter nearby; thus, for the sake of human happiness and safety, God uses dreams as an immediate channel to correct one’s path and help avoid misfortune while seeking good fortune.

This is especially true for ancient kings, emperors, or modern leaders such as company owners, who require divine guidance to determine the right direction for the safety and stability of their nations or enterprises. Therefore, the dreams of leaders are of even greater significance.

For example, Emperor Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire, while still a Roman general, witnessed the persecution and slaughter of many Christians and felt deep compassion for them. Later, when he faced a rival army in battle—where victory would determine the next emperor of Rome—his situation was extremely perilous. On the eve of battle, Constantine had a dream:

“A great golden cross appeared in the sky, shining brightly, and upon it was the image of Jesus crucified. Deeply moved, Constantine swore to Heaven: ‘If Jesus truly exists, grant me victory in this war, and upon my return I shall believe in Him.’”

After a fierce and bloody battle, Constantine miraculously triumphed and ascended the imperial throne. From that moment, the fate of Christians, who had suffered persecution for three hundred years, was transformed. The Emperor revised the laws, granting Christianity legal status, and eventually made it the official religion of the Roman Empire.

Thus, history was changed because God gave a key figure a vital dream—one that altered the course of the world.

Dream interpretation must follow simple logic.

For instance, a young woman once asked whether her boyfriend would eventually marry her. A teacher prayed for divine revelation, and God replied, “Today he loves you.”
The teacher relayed this dream, explaining its meaning: “Today” represents the present; “tomorrow” represents the future. The message was that his love existed now but would not endure. Indeed, the relationship later ended without marriage.

Dreams often express meaning through actions.

If a person faces you, it signifies affection.
If someone turns their back, it symbolizes betrayal.
If a person embraces you from behind, it suggests hidden affection or secret love.

Body posture also reveals intent:

Standing implies readiness to act or move forward toward a goal.
Sitting or squatting suggests hesitation or delay—one must stand before proceeding.
Lying down can have two meanings:
- Lying on a bed symbolizes rest, peace, or smooth progress in work.
- Lying on the ground symbolizes misfortune. This misfortune may be spiritual—signifying sin or moral loss—or worldly, such as illness, family trouble, or professional setback.

Thus, in interpreting dreams, observing movement and position is essential to discern divine messages about one’s present state and future direction.

Colors in dreams each carry specific meanings:

White — purity and innocence; represents a sinless or holy state.
Black — ignorance of truth or the presence of Satan. (However, the black cover of the Bible is excluded from this meaning.)
Sky blue — symbolizes the Virgin Mary.
Dark blue — signifies sorrow or depression.
Gray — represents disappointment or loss of hope.
Purple — denotes wealth, nobility, or royal status.
Yellow (golden) — symbolizes gold; at times signifies kingship or divine selection—those counted among the “hundredfold,” who, in rebirth, may represent Christ in governing the heavenly kingdom.
Pink — symbolizes spiritual refinement and disciplined devotion.
Red — signifies suffering or passion, often associated with sacrifice and redemption.

Each color thus reflects a spiritual or moral condition, helping reveal the deeper meaning behind a dream’s message.

In dreams, physical elements often symbolize spiritual or moral conditions:

Mountains — height represents rank or authority. A tall mountain means high status; a hillside or slope means a lower position.
- Climbing a mountain or stairs signifies undertaking a difficult task.
- Descending a mountain or stairs signifies a task that is easier or nearly complete.
Trees — often represent people.
- Tall trees, such as pines or cypresses, signify persons of high status—Jesus, kings, or powerful figures. Occasionally, a tall tree can also mock Satan’s worldly power.
- Bushes or shrubs represent common people of humble position.
- Grass represents plants that bear no fruit—sometimes symbolizing Satan, thorns, or lukewarm believers.
- Fruit trees: good fruit signifies virtuous deeds; bad fruit means a believer with few merits despite faith.
Houses and decoration — symbolize the soul’s merit.
- A home richly decorated in gold and jewels indicates great spiritual merit.
- A bare, empty house indicates few merits.
Jewelry — when a woman dreams of wearing earrings, necklaces, or bracelets of gold or gems, it signifies spiritual wealth and abundant merit. Absence of adornment indicates little spiritual accomplishment.
Death — symbolizes completion or closure, not necessarily physical death.
- If a person earning money dreams of dying, it means that period of gain is ending.
- If a sick person dreams of dying, it signifies recovery—the end of illness.
- Sometimes, dreaming of recovery from sickness means the soul’s journey to heaven, where there is no more disease.
Serious illness in a dream, such as cancer, carries dual meaning:
- If confirmed by reality, it is God’s warning to seek treatment early.
- If not real, it signifies grave sin and spiritual decay—a divine reminder to repent before greater harm occurs.

Thus, dream logic follows moral cause and effect: each image conveys a lesson about one’s physical life or spiritual state.

“Birth” in dreams often symbolizes the beginning or rise of a position or mission, not merely physical birth.
For example, Jesus born by the Holy Spirit conceiving, the Virgin Mary giving birth, and Joseph (Jesus’ earthly father) raising the child, it signifies that the person’s career or calling is being nurtured by divine grace—the Virgin (Mary), the Holy Spirit (Elijah), and Joseph (Moses).
Jesus Himself had the support of these three holy figures, enabling Him to establish a theocratic order aligned with divine and popular will.

If a pregnant woman dreams of giving birth to a boy, yet delivers a girl in reality, the dream points to the soul’s symbolism rather than literal gender: the girl possesses the spirit of a warrior or leader.

Another example:
A mother worried her daughter might not get into university. Later she dreamed of her daughter riding in the last car of a train. Eventually, the daughter was admitted to a university of lower ranking—the dream reflected the position accurately.
This shows that God sometimes responds to earthly prayers through dreams, giving reassurance or guidance in moments of anxiety.

Dreams are thus the language of Heaven—a form of communication through thought. In Heaven, ideas are transmitted directly without spoken words; dreams are a reflection of that form of spiritual communication.

Many assume dreams are fate—that whatever is dreamed must happen. This is incorrect.
When one dreams of calamity or misfortune, it is often God’s warning to change course. Adjusting one’s attitude or method can turn misfortune into blessing.

The story of Pharaoh’s dream in Genesis illustrates this: Pharaoh dreamed of seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Joseph interpreted it, advising Pharaoh to prepare during the good years by storing grain. As a result, Egypt survived the famine and even prospered.

Thus, bad dreams are opportunities—signals to correct direction and prevent disaster.

My teacher once dreamed: “Dreams are the language of the Green Island.”
Here, green symbolizes eternal life, and the green island represents Heaven. In Heaven, communication is not by sound or air but by thought—exactly as messages are exchanged through dreams.

In short, when we return to Heaven, our way of conversing will be through the same medium—the language of dreams.

Next, let us examine several examples to illustrate the principles of dream interpretation.
Through these cases, readers can better understand how biblical symbolism, logic, and divine revelation work together to convey meaning in dreams.

Dream interpretation can be divided into two kinds: spiritual dreams and worldly dreams.
Worldly dreams are the more common—they relate to matters such as career, health, or family.
Whether a dream concerns the soul or the physical world, it must always be interpreted based on the Bible; that is, the principles of Scripture must serve as the standard.

For example, there was a man, Mr. A, who suffered from a strange illness—he had no strength to lift heavy objects, and no doctor could cure him.
He tried various religious rituals and foreign healing methods, but none worked.
Desperate and in pain, he even thought of ending his life. One day, while his family was away, he sealed the doors and windows with newspaper, swallowed dozens of sleeping pills, and opened two large gas cylinders and one small one—determined to suicide.

After an hour of sleep, he woke up, realizing he was still alive.
He thought to himself, “Perhaps God does not allow me to die.”
So he opened the windows, turned off the gas, and remained in despair.

Later, he had a dream:
A voice spoke to him, saying, “Use salt—salt the size of an egg—and mix it with Darkie toothpaste. Apply it to your back, and you will be healed.”

He followed the dream’s instructions—he roasted coarse salt and mixed it with the toothpaste, then rubbed it on his back—but nothing happened.

Mr. A asked many people to interpret the dream, but no one could explain it.
Not long after, he happened to meet a Catholic teacher skilled in interpreting dreams through the Bible.
That teacher explained the dream to him in detail, and at last, Mr. A’s long-standing problem was resolved.

The teacher told him that the New Testament says:
“You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, it is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” (Matthew 5:13)

Salt has the property of preserving meat and vegetables from decay.
In this verse, meat and vegetables symbolize people, while salt symbolizes the spirit of believers who keep the commandments and do not sin.
The instruction that the salt should be “as large as an egg” means that Mr. A must have faith greater than that of others.
By being a good example, he can influence those around him toward goodness, preserving society from moral corruption.
If he lives this way, his illness will be healed.

Afterward, Mr. A strove diligently for a year to live as a devoted believer.
He offered his own house for fellow Christians to gather and hosted generous Sunday dinners after Mass for everyone to share.
His good example had the effect of “salt,” preserving and uplifting the faith of others.

About a year later, he had another dream:
“I was riding on a train. After some time, I met an old classmate named Chen Smart. Delighted, I greeted him, saying, ‘Smart, you look so well!’ Then I woke up.”

The meaning of this dream is that Mr. A was walking on God’s path—keeping the commandments, studying the Bible, and setting a good example for others.
If he continued this way, he would one day gain deeper understanding of Scripture, become wise, and his illness would be cured.
The “Smart” he met in the dream symbolized his future self—A meeting Smart means Mr. A had become wiser.
His intelligence and spiritual health were restored, and his physical illness was healed as well.

Not long after this dream, Mr. A’s sickness truly disappeared.
He regained strength for work, and his face became radiant with health.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, while on earth, was the mother of Jesus. Being chosen as His mother signifies that her virtue surpassed that of all others. In the Catholic Church, although she does not hold a divine position, she receives special honor because she possesses a unique power of intercession, having a role as vice salvator. In images of the Virgin Mary, her foot is seen crushing a serpent—this refers to Genesis 3:15, where God said that the “woman’s offspring will crush the serpent’s head.” That “woman” is the Virgin Mary.

In a seaside village in Taoyuan, there lived a man named Mr. B. After listening to a Catholic teacher’s preaching, he was deeply moved and gladly shared the Bible stories with his friends. Yet, instead of being grateful, his friends attacked him, saying, “How can you, a temple chairman, listen to Catholic teachings?” Feeling ashamed and afraid of being ridiculed, he began to hide whenever the teacher came, and stopped studying the Scriptures.

A week or two later, however, Mr. B took the initiative to find the teacher and said he had dreamed a dream:

“I was riding a bicycle through a pitch-dark night. No one was around. As I kept riding, I suddenly fell. I got up and wandered about, but I was lost. My heart was anxious; I shouted for help, but no one answered. Just when I was in despair, I heard a familiar voice calling my name—‘Mr. X!’ I looked around and saw a familiar friend. The friend said, ‘Come, I’ll take you home!’
He led me to an old-fashioned elevator without walls through which I could see outside. He told me to hold the handrail carefully, then pressed the switch. The elevator spiraled rapidly upward. Looking down, I saw the place where I had fallen—it was like an abyss, utterly dark, with no bottom in sight. I thought to myself, ‘Could that be the “hell” my teacher spoke of?’ Then I awoke in fright.”

Mr. B woke up, lit a cigarette, and soon fell asleep again. Then he had another dream:

“I was walking alone along a road and passed by a small house. From inside I heard a woman’s voice calling my name. Curious, I went in and saw a woman there. I had never seen anyone so beautiful—she looked about thirty years old, while I was already over fifty.
I don’t know why ,I bowed respectfully to her and addressed her as Mother. I asked, ‘Mother, did you call me for something?’
The woman said, ‘Are you afraid in your heart when you believe in God?’
I answered, ‘I am not afraid now.’
The woman then said, ‘Then you may go back.’”

A few days later, Mr. B saw a Catholic kindergarten shuttle bus. On its side was an image of the Virgin Mary—and she looked exactly like the woman he had seen in his dream. He was astonished.

When the teacher came to the village on his regular visit, Mr. B greeted him warmly and said, “Please come to my house.”
Once they were seated, Mr. B eagerly asked, “How do Catholics address the mother of Jesus?”
The teacher replied, “We call her ‘Mother’ or ‘Holy Mother.’”

Mr. B suddenly understood. No wonder, in his dream, he had called the beautiful woman Mother—it was the Blessed Virgin herself who had come to call him, teaching him that there is no need to fear believing in God.

As for Mr. B’s first dream, before he came to believe in God, he had been like one trapped in hell, unable to find the way home. The friend who led him home in the dream represented the teacher who later helped him interpret it. The teacher patiently explained the Scriptures, connecting them with the meaning of the dream. The scriptures connecting dream drew Mr. B’s heart closer to God, as though leading him out of hell.

The “elevator” symbolized God’s power helping him ascend more quickly toward the true destination—heaven. The teacher guiding him into the elevator meant that through the dream, God was helping him to know the Lord sooner, to escape the darkness of sin, and to reach paradise.

After hearing this explanation, Mr. B was deeply moved. With new courage, he immediately removed the old idols from his home and replaced them with an image of Jesus, becoming the first baptized Catholic in his village. Through this, the Blessed Virgin transformed the course of Mr. B’s faith and life.

There was a man, Mr. C, who worked for a domestic airline company. Next door to his company was Northwest Airlines, an American carrier. He often envied that company’s generous salaries and benefits. After working for several years, he had a dream one night:

“The Northwest Airlines office next door caught fire. The fire was fierce and quickly grew out of control. Everyone panicked, rushing to put it out, but it soon spread to our own company. I hurried to fetch buckets of water to fight the flames, but it was useless. The company was almost completely burned down, with only a few pieces of paper floating in the air. I had no choice but to run outside.”

Mr. C shared this dream with a teacher from the church, who interpreted it by saying: “The airline company next door will go bankrupt, and in a few years, your company will also collapse.”

Mr. C was skeptical. He hadn’t mentioned that the neighboring company was Northwest Airlines—a giant corporation with vast financial resources and over three hundred profitable routes worldwide. It seemed impossible for such a company to fail. So he didn’t argue but kept his doubts to himself.

A few years later, Northwest Airlines suddenly went bankrupt. Mr. C was astonished that such a powerful company could truly fall. Realizing that the dream’s first part had come true, he began to worry that his own company might share the same fate. He decided to study tourism management so that he could have another career path if his company ever went under. Alongside his full-time job, he began working part-time in the travel industry, which provided extra income and stability.

He continued this dual work life for several years until he reached retirement age and successfully received his pension. (In fact, during his career, his airline had narrowly escaped bankruptcy during the period of the “Three Direct Links” policy between Taiwan and mainland China. Business flourished briefly, but after policy changes, the company’s decline resumed.)

A year after his retirement, his airline finally collapsed. Mr. C was grateful that he had “escaped unharmed” and deeply moved by the accuracy of his dream. He shared this experience with many people as testimony—astonished that the dream had taken twenty-three years to be completely fulfilled.

There was a man, Mr. D, who suffered from a mental illness that caused him great distress. He had to take medication for a long time and was unable to work normally. Mr. D had been a believer for about six months, faithfully attending Sunday Mass. One night, he had a dream:

“I was climbing a steep cliff. Before I reached the top, when I was halfway up, an old man with a long white beard handed me a bottle of medicine. Then I woke up.”

Not long after this dream, Mr. D’s condition improved by half. He reduced his medication and felt reborn—better than ever before. Filled with joy, he began looking for work and even took on two jobs. However, because of his busy schedule, he no longer had time to go to church or fulfill his religious duties.

Soon after, Mr. D’s wife had a dream:

“My husband was driving his car on the highway. Halfway through the journey, the car broke down and began to smoke, so he had to pull over and rest on the highway shoulder.”

The teacher explained to Mrs. D that she should advise her husband to resume his duties as a faithful Catholic. His body had only half recovered, and by overworking himself, he would soon exhaust his strength and be unable to continue working. Indeed, not long after, Mr. D became unwell again and could no longer work—his condition returned to what it was before.

After learning this lesson, Mr. D once again faithfully fulfilled his religious obligations. Later, he had another dream:

“I killed a long snake, then cut it into pieces.”

The teacher explained that the snake represents the devil—evil itself, which includes illness, sin, and all harmful things and people. The snake in the dream symbolized his illness; killing the snake meant that the sickness was over. “Death” signifies an ending, so killing the snake meant he was healed.

A dream may not always show the entire cause and effect; therefore, in interpreting a dream, one should focus not on the cause within the dream but on the result. The fact that he successfully killed the snake indicated that he had met the conditions for healing—namely, that he had resumed his religious duties with sincerity.

As for cutting the snake into pieces after killing it, that symbolized that even though his illness was cured, he should not stop taking his medication all at once. The reduction should be gradual.

In dreams, the image of a snake has many meanings. Interpreted in worldly terms, killing a snake signifies earning great wealth. Spiritually, however, killing a snake represents accomplishing a great heavenly merit. Earthly money cannot purchase heavenly merit; only by doing good deeds and helping others to believe in God can one truly become “rich” in the eyes of Heaven.

Here is an example from daily life:

There was a company general manager, Mr. E, who had a dream:

“I was sleeping in bed and felt something entering my mouth. When I woke up, I saw a large python stretching its tongue into my mouth. Shocked, I used my hands to push it off the bed.”

Before explaining this dream, let us clarify a concept:
A farmer’s workplace is the farmland; a civil servant’s workplace is the desk; and a husband and wife’s workplace is the bed, which symbolizes cooperation in producing the next generation. Therefore, in dream symbolism, being in bed with someone represents partners or collaborators.

For example:

A doctor and patient are collaborators.
A teacher and student are collaborators.
A company’s shareholders or business partners are also collaborators.

Mr. E had a shareholder who was skilled in a certain area of the company’s products and considered himself very important. Because Mr. E treated him with special favor, this shareholder became ambitious and wanted to start his own business. He proposed that the parent company invest to allow him to open a branch outside.

That shareholder was symbolized by the python.
The snake extending its tongue into Mr. E’s mouth represented an invasion of rights—an attempt to force cooperation without permission. A kiss signifies the beginning of collaboration; a forced kiss means using unreasonable or manipulative means to make another person yield.

The shareholder’s idea was contrary to Mr. E’s. Mr. E believed the company should concentrate all effort on strengthening the parent company rather than dispersing resources, and he refused the proposal. The dispute lasted a long time. Eventually, Mr. E resolved the issue—just as in the dream, he pushed the snake off the bed with force.

In the Bible, the snake often represents Satan, sin, or disease. Smaller creatures like cockroaches or mice can symbolize minor sins. These images can be applied practically in interpreting daily events:

The snake is a symbol of opposition. Killing it—since “death” means “ending”—represents ending opposing forces.
If someone dreams of killing a snake, in stock-market terms it can mean the stock will hit the daily price limit.
Killing a mouse means it may rise halfway to the limit, and killing a cockroach means a small price increase.

If one only encounters a snake and drives it away without killing it, that means a problem is temporarily avoided but not completely solved—the negative influence may return.

For example:

A girl dreamed that her pockets were full of worms. Since pockets are where money is kept, worms in the pocket symbolize financial trouble—and indeed, she soon faced economic hardship.
A manager, Mr. A, dreamed: “I saw a group of small snakes at some distance from me; they didn’t harm me.” The small snakes represented his subordinates. Though united, they formed a subtle opposing force—gossip or complaints—but since they were distant, the dream meant their discontent did not harm him.
Later, Mr. A dreamed of “a large golden python threatening me from a distance.” The big snake represented his superior, different from the small snakes (the employees). The dream meant that his boss was dissatisfied with him but would not take harmful action such as demotion or transfer.

There is a kind of marriage that refers not to the body, but to the union of the soul. In the Bible, the image of the bridegroom and bride often symbolizes the intimate relationship between Jesus and His followers.

If the dreamer is a man, Jesus may appear as a woman in the dream; if the dreamer is a woman, Jesus may appear as a man—representing the spiritual bond of love between the Lord and the believer.

For example, a catechumen named Mr. P had this dream:

“I was in a library. There were no ordinary tables and chairs, but instead the interior was built like ascending steps. People were sitting on the steps, reading. I sat on one of the higher steps reading a book. Then a woman appeared. At first, I could not see her face clearly. She took my hand, so I thought she was interested in me. I put my arm around her shoulders, but she gently pushed my hand away, as if refusing me. I realized I had misunderstood her intention. Shortly after, she pulled her shawl over my shoulders, and when I looked closely, I saw that she was my wife. She looked at me and said, ‘Only in this place can I find you.’”

Interpretation:
The library symbolizes a place of knowledge and wisdom. “Books” represent thoughts or teachings. A library, where many books are gathered, represents the Church, which offers not worldly knowledge but the knowledge of Heaven—an endless treasury of divine truth.

The steps of the library symbolize the different levels of spiritual understanding among believers. Those seated on higher steps have a deeper grasp of divine truth; those on lower steps represent ordinary understanding.

Mr. P was sitting on a higher step, meaning he had grown in spiritual understanding and was drawing nearer to Jesus. The woman in the dream represented Jesus. The fact that her face was unclear at first showed that Mr. P did not yet fully understand Jesus or His love. The ambiguous closeness between them reflected the uncertain stage of his spiritual relationship with the Lord.

When the woman was finally revealed to be his wife, it symbolized that Mr. P’s relationship with Jesus had become intimate and complete—like that of husband and wife. His wife’s words, “Only in this place (the library) can I find you,” meant that true encounter with Jesus occurs within the Church, where divine knowledge is found. The act of “finding” implies that once there was distance and lack of understanding, but now there is spiritual union.

There are two levels of this spiritual marriage with Jesus:

When a person believes in Jesus and becomes a Christian, he or she enters into a spiritual marriage with the Lord.
When a believer dedicates his or her life completely—as a priest or a nun—the soul enters a deeper, consecrated union with Jesus.

For instance, a female believer often dreamed that she was climbing a mountain, but every time the dream ended before she reached the top. When she shared this with a teacher of dream interpretation, the teacher explained: “You are now a believer, but your dedication to God is only partial—like climbing halfway up the mountain. If you vow to dedicate your life to God and become a nun, you will reach the top”

Later, she did indeed become a nun, and after that, the recurring dream of climbing halfway never returned.

Another woman once dreamed that Jesus was leading her up a flight of stairs. She was wearing a white bridal gown, following Jesus step by step up the staircase. Later, she became a religious teacher, spreading the Gospel.

There was a man, Mr. I, who had been smoking since junior high school. Now in his forties, he told his teacher one day that he could no longer raise his right arm above chest level and that his chest had been in great pain for several months. The teacher prayed for him.

The next day, Mr. I had a dream:

“Teacher Lai (the founder of biblical dream interpretation) came to me. He took a knife and opened my chest, exposing the ribs. One by one, he lifted the ribs apart, reached both hands into my chest, and pulled out a blackened organ. He brought it to a water faucet and washed it with water. The organ looked like a sponge, and a lot of black liquid flowed out. He scrubbed it until it was completely clean, then put it back into my chest and restored the ribs to their original place.”

The meaning of the dream was clear: Jesus had sent the teacher to heal Mr. I’s lungs. The reason he received this divine healing was that he was always active in church service—helping rural schools and visiting children in need. Even when he was exhausted from work, he never failed to volunteer, rain or shine, moving principals and students alike. On Father’s Day, he was affectionately called “Papa Chen.” Because of his generous and devoted service, God granted him special healing.

A few years after this miraculous recovery, one day Mr. I suddenly felt unwell. Thinking it was nothing serious, he rested at work, expecting to recover soon. But he continued to feel weak and could not sleep, so his colleagues rushed him to the emergency room.

Upon arrival, he fell into a semi-conscious state. The doctors performed multiple tests—ECG, blood and urine tests, X-rays, and more. After about an hour, while lying in the emergency ward hallway, he fell asleep and dreamed:

“God opened His arms and embraced me. My cold body immediately became warm, and I slowly woke up.”

Though the dream was short, it completely changed the situation—his body began to recover rapidly. Later, after reviewing all test results, the doctor asked, “Do you smoke?” Mr. I replied, “Yes, for thirty years.”

The doctor was astonished: “But your X-ray doesn’t look like that of a smoker. Your lungs appear normal and healthy. All your test values are within the normal range. You can go home and rest for now, and we’ll schedule a follow-up with the cardiology clinic next week.”

When he left the consultation room, his colleague was pushing him in a wheelchair. Suddenly, Mr. I stood up from the wheelchair by himself, feeling completely well, and even pushed the wheelchair back to return it—his colleague was shocked.

A week later, he went to his follow-up appointment. The new doctor also asked, “Do you smoke?” Mr. I again said, “I’ve smoked for thirty years.” The doctor frowned and said, “That X-ray can’t be yours—it looks too clean.” The nurse double-checked and confirmed that the X-ray indeed belonged to Mr. I. The doctor then said in disbelief, “These lungs look cleaner and healthier than those of a non-smoker. There’s nothing wrong with them.”

Thus, this became indirect confirmation of the earlier dream—God had truly healed Mr. I through His servant, leaving his lungs purer than those of an ordinary person. When God’s hand works, the result is indeed extraordinary.

There was an elderly woman named Ms. K, who was given the spiritual name “Jin-De” (Golden Virtue) by God. She was in her eighties, with silver hair and a kind, gentle face. The name Jin-De carries meaning: “Jin” (gold) symbolizes true gold that stands the test of fire, representing her steadfast and virtuous character.

The teacher once had a dream:

“I saw my friend Jin-De sleeping on a bed. I gently patted her foot and told her to get up.”

In dream interpretation, getting up means spiritual awakening—that her faith, once only external or superficial, was now to become sincere and fruitful in good works.

Ms. K often opened her living room for church gatherings, becoming a beloved friend to many. Though she had little formal education and could not understand much of the Bible discussions or dream interpretations during meetings, she possessed a pure and loving heart. She often went to church with her youngest son and was considered a faithful believer in God’s eyes.

One day, Ms. K suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood and was rushed to the hospital’s intensive care unit. At over eighty years old, her condition was extremely serious, and the doctors issued a critical condition notice.

Her youngest son, a devout Catholic, could not bear to see his mother dying helplessly. On Sunday, he requested five hours of leave from the hospital to take her to church for Sunday Mass, reasoning that since doctors could do no more, they should entrust her to God’s care.

The doctors warned him that if anything happened during their absence, the family would bear full responsibility, and they made him sign a release form.

So, he brought his mother to church. At that time, the narrator (the teacher) was the church’s Bible instructor. Hearing this, the teacher worried that Ms. K might cough uncontrollably or have an emergency during Mass. But, from the moment she entered the church until the end of the two-hour service, she did not cough even once. Everything went smoothly, and they safely returned to the hospital afterward.

Strangely, from that day forward, her coughing and bleeding completely stopped. She gradually recovered, was discharged from the hospital, and regained full health.

After this experience, Ms. K became even more devoted to God. She firmly believed that trusting in God brings healing. From then on, she attended every Sunday Mass and all church Bible or dream-interpretation classes. Though she still could not fully understand the lessons, she held a simple and unwavering faith:

“As long as I go to church, I will be protected and remain healthy.”

One Thursday, when her youngest son—usually the one who picked her up for class—was running late, he went directly to the church without fetching her. About an hour into the class, Ms. K suddenly burst into the church, scolding her son for not coming to get her. Everyone was amazed that this petite elderly woman had run such a long distance to attend class.

Her actions proved her conviction: Ms. K truly believed that God is the God who heals.

There was a woman, Ms. L, who shared a dream with me:

“My husband was going on a business trip today, and a female colleague was coming to pick him up. I was busy in the kitchen when I heard the sound of the elevator arriving and then the front door opening. I walked toward the elevator entrance to see him off, but when I got there, no one was there.”

When I heard this dream, I immediately sensed that her husband might be having an affair—he had “disappeared” from her sight, which symbolized a lack of communication and emotional distance between them. So I asked her, “How is your relationship with your husband lately?” Ms. L replied, “It’s normal, just like always.” I didn’t press further.

A few days later, she shared another dream:

“My husband and I were walking down the street together. I saw a house and suddenly felt that I still had unfinished work, so I went into the house to continue working. My husband stayed outside, waiting for me, and didn’t enter. When I finished my work and ran back outside, he was gone. I looked around everywhere for him but couldn’t find him. Then it started to rain, and I walked alone on the street, feeling very sad.”

This dream carried the same meaning as the first one. The couple was separated, unable to find each other, and the rain represented loneliness and emotional sorrow. I asked her again more firmly, “Is something going on with your husband?” But she insisted that everything between them was fine and that their relationship was as good as ever.

I was puzzled—both dreams showed separation and loss of contact. Even if Ms. L felt nothing unusual, it was clear that something was wrong—most likely with her husband. Still, I didn’t tell her directly to avoid worrying her.

In both dreams, the recurring theme was “not finding each other,” which symbolizes a breakdown in communication.

In the first dream, her husband and the female colleague disappeared—indicating that her husband’s heart was no longer with hers. When two people are in the same space, it means they are of one mind. But when one is inside and the other outside, separated by a wall, door, or ceiling, it means they cannot communicate. If separated by glass, they can still see each other but cannot truly connect—symbolizing partial communication.

In the second dream, Ms. L was inside the house, and her husband was outside—again showing emotional separation.

About a month later, I received a frantic phone call from Ms. L. She said she wanted to end her life because her husband hadn’t returned home for several days. She had discovered that, just as in her dream, he was having an affair with the same female colleague.

Some time later, after many struggles, her husband eventually came home and wanted to restore their former life together. Hearing this, I finally felt relieved, as though a heavy weight had been lifted from my heart.

There was a man, Mr. M, who had a dream:

“I was playing cards at a table with several other people. After a while, I suddenly noticed that the room had become flooded without anyone realizing it. The water had risen up to my ankles.”

In real life, Mr. M and a few friends had co-invested in a company. After several years, the business eventually shut down, and when everything was settled, each partner suffered some financial loss.

In dream interpretation, flood symbolizes loss. The higher the water level, the greater the loss. Since the water only reached his ankles, it meant the loss was minor.

Another man, Mr. N, also had a dream related to water.

When he was young, he once suffered a high fever that lasted for days, yet no one in his family cared for him. Since then, he developed mental and emotional issues—he had trouble sleeping and needed medication to rest.

Many years passed, and one day he became deeply depressed and wanted to end his life. His elder sister, alarmed by this, sought help from a Catholic teacher, hoping he could assist her brother.

The teacher talked with Mr. N about God and His love. Afterward, Mr. N decided to move in with the teacher for a while. He stayed there for three months, during which he began to feel much better.

Later, he told the teacher, “I’m still young. If I don’t go out and work, I’ll become disconnected from society. Can I start working again?”

That night, the teacher had a dream:

“A truck was driving forward. On the road ahead was a large puddle of water, but the truck didn’t stop—it kept going. As it passed through, the water splashed to both sides, and the truck successfully drove through the puddle.”

The truck represented Mr. N, while the puddle symbolized obstacles or difficulties. The truck charging through the puddle meant overcoming hardship.

The teacher then told Mr. N, “You can go out and work.”

Indeed, Mr. N later became a car salesman, achieved excellent results, and often won top sales awards. He eventually married and had children, living a happy and fulfilling life.

The teacher’s encouragement and guidance had helped Mr. N embark on a bright new path in life.

There was a man, Dr. O, a physician by profession. One day, he felt unwell and experienced pain in a part of his abdomen. That night, he had a dream:

“In my dream, I felt pain in the same area of my abdomen as during the day. So I went to see another doctor, Dr. A. After examining me, he decided to perform a colonoscopy. I could feel the instrument moving through each part of my intestines, but strangely, although there was no anesthesia, I felt no pain. After the procedure, Dr. A said, ‘Your intestines are perfectly healthy.’ I also felt that my intestines were fine and thought it was odd that Dr. A had done an unnecessary examination.”

In dream symbolism, the body represents one’s work or vocation. This can be understood in two dimensions:

Spiritual vocation, which refers to the duties we owe to Heaven—our good deeds or virtues. Doing good works is like storing up treasure in Heaven for our souls.

Worldly vocation, such as being an engineer, doctor, or teacher—our professions in the material world.

In the Bible, Jesus’ body represents His work of redemption. When His body was nailed to the Cross, it symbolized His suffering in the work of salvation. When He rose from the dead on the third day, His body’s resurrection signified that His redemptive work, through God’s power, had triumphed. Today, billions of people in the world believe in Jesus—proof that His “body,” or His divine mission, continues to live.

In Dr. O’s dream, he himself was a doctor, and the other doctor, Dr. A, symbolized Jesus. As Scripture says: “I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26). A human doctor heals the body, but Jesus heals the soul.

Thus, Dr. O’s problem was not physical but spiritual—a minor flaw in the soul, not a full illness of the body. The intestines represent the digestive system, which in spiritual terms means the ability to “digest” or internalize the Word of God.

When Dr. A (symbolizing Jesus) examined his intestines, it meant that Dr. O had difficulty understanding or absorbing the teachings of the Bible. But when Dr. A said, “Your intestines are fine,” it signified that his spiritual understanding had become healthy—he had learned to truly comprehend and live by God’s Word.

Dreams often appear to change scenes instantly—one moment full of pain, the next peaceful—but such transitions usually represent a period of spiritual growth or environmental change that has occurred over time. Because dreams are condensed visions, they skip over the process and reveal only the result, not the cause. Therefore, when interpreting dreams, one need not focus on the cause; the result carries the message.

This dream, showing Dr. O’s intestines first “problematic” and later “healthy,” meant that he initially had trouble absorbing spiritual truth, but later—after studying Scripture and deepening his faith—his understanding improved.

Dreams sometimes express this transformation in symbolic simplicity:

When a dream says, “You are guilty,” it means you truly have sin.

When it says later, “You are not guilty,” it means you have been forgiven.

People do not change without reason; when we change our way of life, our dreams also change accordingly. Since most dreams are prophetic, they reveal in advance the transformation that will come—proving that the origin of such dreams is not human, but divine.

As Jesus said to Peter:

“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 16:17)

For example, if I dream that I am going to meet Woman A, but Woman B appears instead, this means that Woman A has changed—she is now symbolically represented by Woman B. In other words, A and B are the same person, but B represents her transformed state.h examples illustrate how symbolic substitution works in biblical dream interpretation.

There was a man, Mr. P, who had the following dream:

“I came to a metal rolling door. There were buttons on it that could open or close the door, but I realized I already had a remote control in my hand. So I used the remote to open the rolling door. When I entered, I saw a long table in front of me. Behind the table were three chairs, and on the table before each chair were a set of exam papers, writing paper, and pens. I wasn’t sure whether it was for an exam or an assignment. Then an invisible person said to me, ‘Pick up one of the papers and pens.’ I replied, ‘Okay.’”

The teacher who interpreted the dream explained: Opening the rolling door means breaking through obstacles, overcoming difficulties that others have not yet overcome. The exam papers represent tasks or challenges that few can accomplish. Thus, when Mr. P said “okay,” it symbolized that he had already passed the test.

(Reference: Revelation 20:11–15, where all people must face God’s judgment, and only those who pass will be saved.)

However, Mr. P was uncertain about this explanation. Two days later, he had a similar dream:

“Again, I used the remote control to open the same rolling door and entered the same place. There were still three chairs and three sets of exam papers on the table. But this time, a man who looked like an examiner handed me a scroll from a paper cylinder. The scroll looked like a diploma or graduation certificate that one receives at a school ceremony.”

This second dream served as a supplemental explanation because Mr. P did not fully understand the meaning of the first.

In the first dream, his saying “okay” already symbolized passing the test and earning the qualification of a hundredfold (in spiritual merit). In dream language, speech represents the effect of an action—thus, his saying “okay” was equivalent to completing the exam and passing it.

Because Mr. P did not grasp this meaning, God gave him a second dream to clarify: the examiner handing him a graduation certificate confirmed that his “okay” had deep significance—it meant completion, success, and approval.

Though Mr. P did not dream of writing or taking the exam, that single word “okay” summarized the entire process. God often uses concise dreams to express long or complex realities, omitting the intricate causes and showing only the result. Therefore, in interpreting dreams, one should focus on the outcome, not the cause.

If the dreamer still does not understand, God may provide a second dream to supplement the first, helping the person grasp the divine message more clearly.

Sometimes God also uses two contrasting dreams to explain the different stages of a matter:

The first dream (section a) may be a nightmare, symbolizing the beginning or the main theme of an event.

The second dream (section b) is often positive, showing how the situation will develop or resolve.

If there are additional dreams (sections c or d), they indicate further future developments of that event.

Returning to Mr. P’s case: the two dreams had nearly identical beginnings, but the first dream ended with his saying “okay,” which seemed incomplete—no actual exam appeared. The second dream clarified this by showing him receiving a graduation certificate, meaning he had not only completed but also passed the exam and could now “graduate.”

Thus, we understand that in the first dream, the word “okay” already implied that he had completed, passed, and graduated—the dream simply skipped the process and showed the final result.

The Bible itself also contains such “supplemental records”, and likewise, God sometimes provides supplemental dreams to make His message clearer.

There was a mother, Ms. Q, who had a son addicted to drugs. When he was not under the influence, he was polite and kind, but once he used drugs, he became violent and unbearable. Often, it took both the police and hospital staff to restrain and admit him for treatment. Everyone advised Ms. Q not to take him back anymore, but her heart was torn between love and despair.

Thus began a thirty-year battle between mother and son—his condition alternating between good and bad. When sober, he could work and earn money, but soon after, he would spend it all on drugs, relapse, and lose his job. This bad cycle continued, draining his mother’s health and spirit until she developed depression, requiring long-term medication. Having nearly exhausted her savings, she went abroad to the United States to work as a caregiver, while her son remained in Taiwan, using drugs without restraint.

One day, The teacher advised this mother to pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking her to intercede with Jesus for help. Ms. Q earnestly prayed to the Virgin Mary for her son’s salvation.

About ten days later, her son sent her a message:

“From now on, I will believe in Guanyin.”

When Ms. Q told me this, I thought perhaps he had seen or dreamed of Guanyin. Ms. Q, understanding Christian theology, explained to her son:

“Guanyin and the Virgin Mary are the same being. In earlier times, when she cooperated with Shakyamuni Buddha, she was known as Guanyin; in later times, when she worked with Jesus, she became the Virgin Mary.”

Two days later—on Chinese New Year’s Eve—her son was in a severe car accident. He was rushed to the hospital with intracranial bleeding, deep in the center of his brain, and surgery was impossible. The doctors said his condition was critical and urged Ms. Q to prepare for the worst. She prepared funeral clothes, shoes, and burial items, waiting for the hospital’s final call.

At that time, a male church menber, Mr. A—who had once helped Ms. Q’s son repaint his room (which had been blackened by drug use) and had given him toys to restart hope—experienced a vision. He saw Ms. Q’s son come to him and say,

“I don’t want to die.”

At that exact time, Ms. Q’s son was still in a coma. This vision gave us hope that perhaps God would help him, and that the Virgin’s intercession had reached Jesus.

Indeed, about ten days later, Ms. Q’s son began to wake up. Though his behavior was childlike and his speech disordered—only answering in single words at first—he gradually regained clarity and could communicate normally about one month later.

Eventually, he was discharged from the hospital. Ms. Q placed him in a rehabilitation center, hoping he would receive therapy and care. However, the facility tied him to his bed and offered no real rehabilitation, so Ms. Q brought him home and personally took him to the hospital for physical therapy.

Not long after, she brought her son to Sunday Mass. The teacher asked him, “You said you believe in Guanyin—did you dream of her?”

He replied,

“I dreamed I was inside Guanyin’s belly”

I asked, “Did you come out from it?”

He said, “No.”

Ms. Q then asked teacher, “When will he be born from it?”

The teacher replied,

“When you decides to stop using drugs, you will be born.”

For thirty years, Ms. Q’s son had never entered a church, nor had he shown any interest in the Bible. This was his first time stepping inside. At first, he came in a wheelchair. Afterward, he told his mother he wanted to be baptized—something she had long since given up hoping for.

On his second visit, he could walk using a walker. On his third, he walked unaided, though slowly. Then, the church administered conditional baptism for him.

From that moment, he never touched drugs or cigarettes again. Through the Virgin Mary’s intercession and God’s healing, he was completely freed—without needing to enter any rehabilitation center.

We give thanks for the Virgin Mary’s intercession and the mercy of God, who grants humanity the grace of healing and new life.

There was a man, Mr. R, who came from another religion to learn about Catholic teachings. He said that normally he never dreamed, and even if he did, he couldn’t remember them. However, after attending his first Catholic Bible class, he had a dream that very night—and another one when he returned home. He could remember both clearly, which to him was already a small miracle.

By the third week, he had another dream:

“My rose had withered. Then a white man riding a bicycle came and said to me, ‘I can make your rose come back to life.’”

The white man in the dream symbolized the teacher who was teaching him the truths of the Church. The teacher’s words could “bring the rose back to life.”

In Catholic symbolism, the rose represents the Blessed Virgin Mary. The red color of the rose symbolizes suffering and blood, for Mary knew that her Son, Jesus, would one day suffer and be crucified. Her heart, pierced with sorrow for her Son’s sacrifice, was said to bleed in spirit.

The thorns of the rose represent Mary’s inner pain, as described in the Gospel of Luke 2:35, where it says, “And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” This describes the deep anguish the Virgin felt as she foresaw her Son’s passion.

Thus, the dream encouraged Mr. R to rely on the Virgin Mary, allowing her to guide him in faith.

In the Bible, the moon often symbolizes the Virgin Mary, while the sun represents Jesus Christ. Jesus, like the sun, gives us light and warmth, and through Him, we receive life. The moon, however, does not produce light on its own but reflects the light of the sun, shining gently in the darkness to help us see our path.

In this way, the Virgin Mary shines with the reflected light of her Son. When we face difficulties, she provides us with just enough light to prevent us from being lost in darkness.

The Virgin Mary has the special power of intercession. Just as the moon reflects the sun’s light, Mary does not act by her own power but intercedes through Jesus. Many pray directly to Jesus but do not always receive an immediate answer. Yet, when we ask Mary to intercede, the answer often comes more swiftly through her loving mediation.

This truth is revealed in John 2, at the Wedding at Cana, where Mary interceded on behalf of the hosts when the wine ran out. She said to Jesus, “They have no wine.” Jesus replied that His hour had not yet come, but Mary understood that this marked the beginning of her mission of intercession.

She then told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” Jesus instructed them to fill six stone jars with water. When they drew some out, the water had turned into fine wine—the first miracle Jesus performed on earth.

The joyful guests celebrated with abundant wine, and the wedding became a symbol of happiness and divine blessing.

Likewise, those who receive grace through Mary’s intercession experience renewed joy and fulfillment, just as the rose in Mr. R’s dream came back to life .

There was a man, Mr. S, who had a dream:

“I walked out of a train station, and behind me was my classmate A. I told A to walk faster so that we could get closer to the Blessed Virgin, because I knew that the moon in the sky was the Blessed Virgin Mary. I looked up carefully at the moon and noticed that its shape was unusual—not a full moon, nor a crescent, but a strange form. I said, ‘This moon looks like Mount Fuji.’”

Mr. S was a church member who already had a good understanding of religious teachings. Therefore, in his dream, his existing knowledge of doctrine was reflected symbolically. As church teachers often say, the moon represents the Virgin Mary, and when a believer dreams of her, it signifies a deepening of faith and understanding.

The moon represents the Virgin Mary—the closer one is to the moon, the closer one is to Mary. To be far from the moon means having little understanding of her and thus receiving less of her intercessory help. To be close to the moon means having greater knowledge of her and therefore experiencing more of her assistance.

The classmate A in the dream symbolizes all the people Mr. S will guide in his lifetime. This is a common divine metaphor. God often uses a single person in a dream to represent many, since listing them all would be too complex. For example, if a man is destined to guide ten thousand people, a dream may simply show “one person,” symbolizing them all.

Similarly, in the Bible, Jacob’s twelve sons represent the chosen ones—the “hundredfold” who will govern Heaven under God’s authority. Jacob’s thirteenth child, a daughter, represents all the people of Heaven. Although there are far more common people than leaders, the dream uses symbolic numbers: the twelve sons signify the heavenly rulers, while the one daughter symbolizes the multitudes of the faithful.

In the dream, the moon appeared in an unusual shape, which Mr. S said resembled Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan, and in biblical symbolism, mountains represent spiritual greatness or divine rank.

In the story of Noah’s Ark in Genesis, when the floodwaters covered the earth, all mountains were submerged. When the waters receded, the first mountain to appear was Mount Ararat, symbolizing Jesus Christ, the one of highest rank in Heaven. Other mountains that appeared later represented saints and holy ones, whose holiness followed after Christ’s.

Thus, the dream means that the Virgin Mary possesses a special gift of intercession. When we pray to her, her intercessory merits bridge the distance between humanity and Jesus. Yet, the one who performs the miracle is always Jesus Himself.

In the miracle of turning water into wine (John 2:1–11), it was the Virgin Mary’s intercession that moved Jesus to act. The miracle was accomplished by Jesus but initiated through Mary’s plea—just as, in the dream, the moon (Mary) appeared, but Mr. S described the moon as Mount Fuji (Jesus), revealing their spiritual unity in divine work.

Mr. T once had a dream:

section a: His friend A was being chased by a black dog. After running for a while, A jumped onto a wall, and the dog was unable to bite him.

section b: In the sky, the moon and the sun were moving smoothly at first, but suddenly they collided with each other—like airplanes crashing in midair. The wreckage fell to the ground, causing a massive earthquake. Mr. T’s house shake violently but did not collapse, while the neighboring house fell apart after the earthquake.

In real life, Mr. T had served as a loan guarantor for his friend at the bank. Later, the friend defaulted on the loan, and Mr. T’s property became implicated in the debt case. When his friend informed him of the situation, Mr. T quickly took action—he sold his real estate and emigrated abroad. Because of his swift decisions, his house was not seized or auctioned off. However, others who were also connected to his friend’s debts did not react in time and suffered heavy financial losses.

In this dream, the sun and moon represent people. As long as they move along their proper orbits—acting rightly and responsibly—no accidents occur. But when someone acts recklessly or dishonestly, collisions happen, leading to financial loss for others.

Mr. T’s friend’s bankruptcy represented someone who broke the rules, causing harm to others’ property. Fortunately, Mr. T’s quick response—selling his real estate immediately—allowed him to escape disaster. His house remained intact, while those of others “collapsed,” symbolizing financial ruin.

Ordinarily, in biblical symbolism, the moon represents the Virgin Mary, and the sun represents Jesus. However, in this dream, the sun and moon symbolize human beings instead.

The key challenge in dream interpretation lies precisely here: the meaning shifts with context. For example, the English word “strike” means “labor strike” in a factory but “nice shot” in a baseball game. Likewise, in this dream, the sun and moon do not refer to Jesus and Mary but to people who fail to follow proper order, bringing disaster upon themselves and others.

There was a woman, Ms. U, who repeatedly dreamed that her husband was kneeling before her, weeping bitterly, as if confessing something to her. At first, she thought it was just a random dream and ignored it.The dream occurred three times over a period of weeks. Ms. U found it strange and wondered what it meant.

At that time, Ms. U’s husband owned a company that was doing quite well. Their family often dined at a high-end French restaurant on weekends, and over time, they became familiar with one of the restaurant’s directors and developed a friendship.

One day, that director invited Ms. U and her husband to jointly open a new restaurant, and they agreed. The director outlined his ambitious plans to build a multi-purpose, upscale dining establishment—the vision sounded inspiring. Encouraged, Ms. U’s husband began investing in the project.

However, as time went on, the director’s designs far exceeded the original budget. Each time he claimed that just a little more money was needed to complete the project, and each time, Ms. U’s husband contributed more. The costs kept rising beyond expectation, eventually amounting to several times the planned investment.

Afraid that his wife would be angry, he kept everything secret from her. But as the financial strain grew, the situation began to threaten his own company’s stability. To keep it afloat, he started rushing between banks to cover payments—known as “running the 3:30 circuit” (referring to the bank cutoff time in Taiwan).

Once, during such a scramble, a bank oversight prevented them from discovering a bounced check worth over a million dollars. This error allowed him a brief reprieve. He told Ms. U later that it was God’s mercy, for without it, his company would have collapsed that very day.

Eventually, however, the truth could no longer be hidden. One day, her husband fell to his knees before her, weeping, and confessed everything. He admitted that the company could no longer survive.

Ms. U felt both angry and heartbroken, realizing how long her husband had suffered in silence. Determined to help, she negotiated directly with the restaurant’s director. The director, unable to repay the debt, transferred ownership of the restaurant to Ms. U.

Left with no other choice, she reluctantly took over the restaurant’s operations. Though she had no experience managing such a business, the restaurant initially thrived. However, because it was so large, the personnel and rent costs were extremely high, and eventually, financial difficulties forced her to transfer ownership to someone else.

Looking back, Ms. U reflected deeply on her earlier dream. She realized it had foretold everything exactly—her husband’s kneeling in repentance, his financial collapse, and the trials that followed.

The dream occurred three times, and in biblical symbolism, the number three represents completion and certainty. Thus, the repetition signified that the dream was sure to be fulfilled.

There was a man, Mr. V, who enjoyed drinking with friends. One night, after drinking, he had a sexual encounter with a female companion. Afterward, he deeply regretted it. The woman took advantage of the situation to blackmail him, and eventually, the matter went to court, where both sides entered mediation. During this period, Mr. V had the following dream:

a. “I drove to attend the funeral of a friend named A. The funeral was held under a tent near his house, which was a townhouse. When I arrived, the first floor was completely empty, so I parked my car inside A’s house.

b. I was then driving a van, and when I looked back, I saw a female ghost sitting inside. I thought to myself, I should recite a Buddhist scripture. I chanted for a long time, but the ghost did not leave. Then I thought, Now that I believe in God, I should pray the Lord’s Prayer instead. As soon as I began to pray it, the ghost disappeared, and I felt relieved.

c. I then saw two workers gathering wood chips and trash by the roadside. They were loading them onto a truck to burn them.”

Interpretation

The first section (a) reveals the theme of the dream.

Mr. V parked his car inside another person’s house without permission, symbolizing trespassing or wrongdoing—he had done something that offended another person.

The “a” section usually reflects past or present actions.

If it matches current circumstances, it shows that the dream is describing real-world consequences that will unfold.

If it doesn’t fit present reality, then it pertains to spiritual matters instead.

If a dream has b and c sections, those depict what will happen in the future and further future.

Dreams are not Fortune telling or destined; rather, they are messages from God, unseen by the human eye, through which He speaks to us. Just as people use different tones—hypothetical, joyful, angry, or sorrowful—God’s communication in dreams can also vary in tone.

When properly understood, a dream can help a person avoid misfortune. A good dream confirms that one’s actions are right and should continue.

Dreams are often structured in sequences:

Without an “a” section, there can be no “b” section.

The “a” section is the cause, and the “b” section is the effect.

If the cause disappears, the effect will not occur.

Thus, in a warning dream, if the person corrects the behavior shown in “b,” then “c” will never happen.

Most nightmares are warnings. If one changes course after such a dream, the negative outcome foretold in later sections will not take place—just like in earlier examples where “failing to win a bid” in a dream meant the person should change their strategy or lower the price. When the plan changed, the result changed as well.

Section b

In this dream, reciting Buddhist scripture symbolizes doing only halfway—since Buddhism’s Five Precepts are half of the Ten Commandments. The number “five” thus means incomplete effort. Therefore, when Mr. V chanted the Buddhist prayer, the female ghost remained.

When he recited the Lord’s Prayer, representing the Ten Commandments (complete moral law), the ghost vanished—symbolizing resolution.

Here, the female ghost represents a person opposing God, and in worldly terms, it refers to the woman threatening Mr. V, his legal opponent.

The mediation initially did not go well—the other party was unsatisfied with his proposal, so the ghost remained. When Mr. V increased his offer to a fairer level, the opponent accepted, symbolized by the disappearance of the ghost.

For clarity, the interpreter gave a numerical analogy:

If the opposing party demanded 1 million, but Mr. V offered three hundered thousand, that was like reciting the Buddhist scripture—doing half; thus, the ghost remained and the case was unresolved.

When he raised it to senen hundered thousand and the other party agreed, that was like reciting the Lord’s Prayer—a complete resolution; so, the ghost disappeared.

Section c

The two workers collecting wood chips and garbage to burn signify the conclusion of the entire matter.

According to the rule of dream continuity, the female ghost in section b corresponds to the two workers in section c, showing that the ghost had “associates” behind her.

When the two men gather the “garbage” to burn it, it represents the removal of guilt and wrongdoing between the parties.

“Garbage” symbolizes sin or moral corruption—the residue of human conflict born of greed and resentment.

Burning the garbage means the conflict has ended, and the wrongdoing has been purified.

In short, the dream showed that through repentance, fairness, and trust in God, Mr. V’s moral and legal troubles were resolved completely.

There was a man, Mr. W, who once negotiated a land purchase with a real estate broker. Both parties agreed to complete the money transfer at a bank on a specific date.

The night before the scheduled transaction, Mr. W had a dream:

“A man wearing a red shirt appeared, his face twisted in a menacing expression.”

Startled, Mr. W awoke.

The next day, when he went to the bank to meet the broker and finalize the deal, the person who came to meet him was wearing the exact same red shirt as in the dream. Mr. W immediately realized that something was wrong. God had warned him in advance, so he canceled the transaction on the spot.

This kind of dream is simple and clear. Those familiar with divine dreams understand that God’s warnings are crucial messages that can help people avoid danger and loss.

Another believer once wanted to invest in a friend’s gardening business. After investing some money, the gardener sold a single tree for a huge profit. Seeing this, the investor was tempted to invest even more. However, he then dreamed:

“The very tree that had brought great profit was now withered.”

The dream interpreter told him, “This means there will be problems with the gardening business. Do not invest further.”

The man was puzzled—everything in the business seemed to be going well. But later, the gardening business began to decline for unknown reasons, perhaps due to human mismanagement. Fortunately, he had heeded the warning and did not reinvest, thus avoiding loss.

A third example involves a young man raised in the church, who wanted to buy a truck to earn money through freight transport. He prayed to ask God’s guidance, and God’s response in a dream was that the business would be profitable.

Encouraged, many church members invested in his plan. However, not only did the venture fail to make money, but it also resulted in heavy debts. People began to say, “The dream was inaccurate.”

But upon investigation, it turned out that the young man was secretly addicted to gambling. He lost all his earnings and even went into debt, causing his investors to suffer losses.

Thus, the dream’s message had not been wrong—it indicated that driving and working normally would have indeed brought profit. The failure was caused by human wrongdoing, not by god｀s error.

When we ask God for guidance through dreams, He responds according to the specific conditions of our request, not to every possible variable.

As previously explained:

The petition to God is the cause.

The dream is the result—God’s response based on that cause.

Understanding this relationship helps us discern more accurately how God communicates through dreams, showing His will under the conditions we present.

Dream interpretation sometimes depends on actions within the dream. For example:

If someone turns their back on you, it symbolizes betrayal.

If you are standing still while others surpass you, it means your progress has stalled and others will advance beyond you.

If you are lying on the ground, it signifies misfortune—sometimes spiritual (the soul is unable to reach salvation or heaven), and sometimes worldly (business failure, illness, divorce, or heartbreak).

However, if you are lying on a bed, it represents rest and satisfaction.

Walking means that something is in progress, while standing means readiness to move forward—better than crouching or sitting still.

If you find a seat on a bus, it means you “make money” worldly or rich heavenly . If you stand on abus, it means loss—either sin (spiritual loss) or financial hardship.

Having a seat in a classroom or company represents a position or role—sometimes spiritual (a place in heaven), sometimes earthly (such as a job or managerial role).

If you are on stage, singing, hosting, or giving a speech, spiritually it means you are performing well before God and will be rich in heavenly reward. In worldly terms, it means your undertaking will succeed—a business, shop, or career venture will thrive.

If you reach upward to take something, it symbolizes difficulty; if you pick something up from the ground, it means the task is easy.

If you pick up something discarded by others, it signifies benefiting from another’s abandonment. The one who discards represents giving up, while the one who picks up represents effort and reward—for example, if someone gives up a general manager’s position, the person who accepts it gains advantage.

One day, a devout believer, Mr. A, had an aunt, Ms. B, who wanted to hang a painting on the wall but lacked nails and hooks. Mr. A suggested she go to a framing shop to buy what she needed. With those tools, she successfully hung the painting.

This act of hanging a painting symbolizes becoming a good example for others. Mr. A’s assistance allowed Ms. B to display her “work” (her faith and deeds) for all to see, thereby inspiring others. Through her example, she could help strengthen the faith of many.

In the Old Testament, the Book of Exodus recounts that the prophet Moses saw a burning bush that was not consumed. He climbed up the mountain to witness this wonder, and a voice called out from within the bush:

“Moses! Moses!”

Moses replied, “Here I am.”

The voice said, “I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Remove your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”

Then Moses covered his face.

Each action in this passage carries deep meaning:

Climbing the mountain represents seeking to understand Jesus, for in the Bible, the mountain symbolizes Christ Himself. To climb it is to study and ascend spiritually. Reaching the summit means attaining a deeper understanding of Jesus’ plan of salvation.

The voice from the bush symbolizes Jesus. After completing the Heavenly Western Christianization (the salvation of the heavenly spirits who first accepted redemption), God the Father appointed Jesus as Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity.

When Jesus called Moses by name, the name symbolized identity, mission, and position. Jesus commanded Moses to take part in His work—to accomplish the Heavenly Eastern Christianization, converting those in the East who had not yet fully accepted redemption.

The burning bush that was not consumed represents Satan and sin. Jesus had triumphed in the West but had not yet destroyed the demonic powers remaining in the East. Thus, Moses—familiar with the East—was chosen to complete that mission.

When the voice said, “I am the God of your fathers,” Moses covered his face. According to Israelite tradition, seeing God meant death, so Moses veiled himself. This act signifies his recognition of Jesus’ divinity and acceptance of his mission—to go east and help bring about the complete destruction of evil, symbolized by the bush finally being consumed by fire.

From this example, we can see that every action in Scripture carries meaning. Understanding these symbolic movements allows us to read the Bible more vividly, discerning how God reveals His will not only through words, but also through the actions of worldly people.

God created many kinds of animals in this world—some gentle, some fierce—to teach us that each animal symbolizes a type of person, according to its nature.

For example:

A snake—no matter how much you care for it—will bite when given the chance. Its venom can kill, symbolizing treachery and harm.

Sheep are very docile; even when shorn or slaughtered, it does not resist. In Scripture, the sacrificial lamb represents Jesus, who gave His life for the redemption of humanity.

In the Book of Job, many animals appear—

Sheep and deer represent ordinary believers.

Donkeys and oxen, being larger and stronger, represent experienced and devoted believers.

An ostrich, which lays eggs but does not care for them, symbolizes a person who neglects their own eternal life or spiritual well-being. Its swift running shows that such a person flees from God as fast as a galloping horse.

A horse, brave and strong in battle, symbolizes priests and nuns who fight on the front lines against sin.

An eagle, soaring high and dwelling on cliffs, represents heavenly bishops and priests chosen by God, who have keen spiritual vision and can foresee and discern truth—just as an eagle spots its prey from afar. Such people cooperate with Jesus in spreading God’s love and are destined to be leaders in God’s kingdom.

A black dog and a white dog have different meanings:

Black symbolizes ignorance of divine truth.

White symbolizes purity and forgiveness—the baptized soul cleansed of sin.

Depending on the context, a dog may represent either a worldly person driven by desire or a faithful servant of God.

A cat, which catches mice, represents a zealous believer who removes “inner thieves”—sins and impurities.

A mouse represents hidden wrongdoing.

A bird, in Genesis 1, symbolizes the chosen people who can “fly”freely, but in Matthew 13, it represents the devil, who snatches away the Word of God sown in the heart.

Thus, the meaning of each animal changes with context. One cannot assign a fixed interpretation to every creature without considering the background of the dream.

The Bible often uses the same figure to represent different ideas. For example, in Genesis 3:

The “woman” can symbolize one who is morally weak and easily tempted (Gen 3:6),

or the Virgin Mary (Gen 3:15),

or humanity as a whole (Gen 3:16).

Dream Example

There was an elderly woman, Ms. X, who practiced a folk religion but often associated with Catholic friends. She attended church regularly but had vowed, upon marriage, to worship her ancestors, so she refused baptism.

One night, she had a dream:

a. “I saw a black cat climbing a tree and singing beautifully. A woman passing by saw the cat and said to it,‘will you marry my son?’

b. Later, that same woman took me as her daughter-in-law.”

Interpretation:

The main figure in a dream usually represents the dreamer. Thus, the black cat symbolizes Ms. X herself.

Black represents lack of understanding of the faith, yet the cat, which catches mice, signifies that she is righteous, loving, and morally upright—faithful to God’s commandments but unable to understand the necessity of baptism for eternal life.

The cat singing on the tree means she is performing well before God—her good deeds and gratitude are like a song that pleases Heaven.

The tree symbolizes elevation; she is living uprightly before God.

The elderly woman who sees the cat and offers marriage represents preacher. By proposing marriage between Juses and the cat, she is inviting Ms. X to become the Bride of Christ, that is, to receive baptism and join the Church.

In part b, the woman indeed takes Ms. X as her daughter-in-law—meaning she finally accepts Jesus and is spiritually wedded to Him.

At the time, Ms. X did not believe she would ever be baptized.

However, two years later, she was suddenly hospitalized with a high fever. The doctor urged her to stay for treatment, but she refused, and the hospital issued a critical condition notice. A church missionary happened to be present and explained to her the importance of baptism. At that moment, Ms. X agreed and received baptism in the hospital.

Thus, her dream was fulfilled exactly:

The black cat was Ms. X, and her marriage to Jesus—her baptism—came true.

There was a man, Mr. Y, who had a dream:

“I was riding a bicycle or motorcycle up a very steep mountain. The road was narrow, and the slope seemed to be made of glass panels. I rode quickly upward. Along the way, someone warned me that a tsunami was coming. Sure enough, the tsunami arrived. I felt myself being pulled down into the water and submerged for a moment, but soon I floated back up again. I continued to pedal hard uphill and finally reached a safe place. Then I woke up.”

In dream interpretation, traveling from one place to another represents the journey of faith. Walking a long distance means that one’s progress is slow and laborious, relying only on human effort. But riding a bicycle or motorcycle means moving faster—that is, receiving help from God.

In this sense, the dream shows that it often takes people a long time to build faith through personal study and experience. However, when God guides through dreams, the journey becomes much quicker, because dreams are personal messages from God, tailored to each individual’s thoughts and struggles. In them, God helps resolve inner difficulties, making it easier to reach the destination of faith.

Thus, Mr. Y’s dream means that, on his path to believing in God, he wisely made use of the help God provided through dreams, allowing him to build faith quickly and overcome difficulties.

Climbing mountains represents doing something difficult. In the East, where few believe, faith requires extraordinary strength and perseverance.So,believing in god,like climbe a mountain in the east.

Riding uphill means Mr. Y was advancing in faith, and though the road was narrow (symbolizing commandments and discipline), he moved upward quickly, reflecting his humble, loving, and selfless nature. His spiritual level was rising; and closeing to god.

Then came the tsunami, which symbolizes God’s test of faith—just as in the story of Noah’s Ark (Genesis 6–7), the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. In the Bible, “rain from heaven” represents a divine test. Those who get wet symbolize those who suffer; those who have prepared an umbrella or raincoat (faith and virtue) pass the test unharmed.

The warning, “A tsunami is coming,” shows that dreams can alert us to upcoming spiritual trials.

Being dragged underwater means that Mr. Y once lost faith during hardship, but his return to the surface shows that he quickly recovered it.

This mirrors the Gospel story in Matthew 14:28–33:

Peter, seeing Jesus walking on the water, said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You.”

Jesus said, “Come.”

Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he became afraid and began to sink.

Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, saying, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

In this way, the Eastern Church, which teaches dream interpretation through Scripture, is like Jesus walking on the sea—revealing small miracles through dreams. Each small miracle strengthens faith; together, they become a great miracle that builds confidence in God.

In this symbolism:

Peter on the boat represents the traditional Western Church, which has long guided believers.

When Peter stepped onto the water, it symbolized the Church’s desire to connect with God through dreams and revelation.

His initial success—walking on water—symbolized early understanding and fulfilled miracles.

The strong wind symbolizes opposition and doubt, causing faith to falter and Peter to sink.

Jesus lifting Peter up represents God restoring faith through new miracles—bringing the Western and Eastern Churches into unity, symbolized by both returning to the one church.

Finally, Mr. Y reaching a safe place in the dream means that he, too, will be saved and chosen as a representative of Jesus.

There was a lady, Ms. Z, who had the following dream:

a. “It was the year 1949, during the Chinese Civil War. I was serving in the Air Force in Nanjing, flying missions and observing the battles below from the aircraft.

b. Later, a female general saw me, greeted me with joy, and embraced me, saying that from then on, we could fight side by side. I felt a bit hesitant.”

This dream clearly did not match reality—Ms. Z had not even been born in 1949, let alone served in the military. When a dream does not align with factual reality, it represents a matter of the soul.

The key to this dream lies in the number 49.

In Scripture, God commands through Leviticus 25:8–13:

“You shall count seven weeks of years—seven times seven years—so that the period of seven weeks of years gives forty-nine years. Then you shall proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to your property and each of you shall return to your family. The fiftieth year shall be holy to you; you shall not sow, or reap what grows of itself, or gather from the unpruned vines. For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you may eat only what the field itself produces.”

Among the Israelites, the forty-ninth year marked a time when slaves were to be freed. The Year of Jubilee was therefore a sacred turning point—when those bound in servitude regained freedom.

Spiritually, this represents humanity’s release from bondage—from enslavement to sin, wealth, and the flesh. When we believe in God and receive eternal life in heaven, we are like slaves becoming free persons.

Thus, in the dream, Ms. Z being a soldier at war symbolizes his soul’s calling to fight alongside Jesus against evil. Because he is virtuous and capable, the female general represents Jesus (or His heavenly messenger), inviting Ms. Z to join Him in the battle against sin.

Why is Jesus represented as a general rather than a king?

In Revelation 12:7–9, we read of Michael the Archangel (symbolizing Jesus) leading the heavenly armies in war against Satan and his followers, who are ultimately defeated. Before Jesus was formally recognized as the Son of God, He waged war against Satan in His role as Commander of Heaven’s Hosts. This “general” figure in Ms. Z’s dream represents that aspect of Jesus’ divine mission.

The invitation to fight side by side means that Ms. Z is a person highly favored by God, chosen to share in Christ’s spiritual battle and victory.

In Scripture, Jesus is most often represented in male form, yet in Revelation 12:1–2, He appears symbolically as a woman:

“A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.”

This passage signifies Jesus’ plan of salvation as a labor of birth—the woman “giving birth” represents the realization of His redemptive mission.

At that time, Satan held great worldly power, and Christ’s redemptive work faced immense opposition. The woman’s “labor pains” symbolize the struggles and resistance Jesus faced in bringing salvation into the world.

Why does Scripture depict this woman as Jesus?

“Clothed with the sun” — She is the Light of the World, symbolizing Jesus Himself.

“The moon under her feet” — She has authority over life and death, for the moon symbolizes the nether world, the realm of souls.

“A crown of twelve stars” — She is the King of Kings, ruling over the twelve states in heaven.

Thus, the woman in Revelation 12 represents Jesus, and in Ms. Z’s dream, the female general symbolizes Michael the Archangel, Jesus.

There was a man, Ms. A.A., a devoted and experienced Buddhist practitioner. One night, he had the following dream:

“An old man dressed in gray clothing woke me from sleep and said to me, ‘You must remember this: since ancient times, Buddhism has manifested divine power; for two thousand years, wisdom has manifested divine power.’ Then I awoke.”

Ms. A.A. was a long-time Buddhist with many Buddhist statues and decorations in her home. She had studied and practiced Buddhist teachings sincerely for many years and was both a calligrapher and a painter.

As She grew older, however, God revealed a message to her through this dream. Two thousand years ago, the East was a world dominated by Buddhism, and thus Buddhism manifested divine power. About six hundred years after Siddhārtha Gautama (the Buddha), Jesus Christ was born, and gradually the West became Christianized. Westerners came to believe in Jesus—this was called “Western Christianization,” the first stage of redemption.

During that same era, the East remained primarily Buddhist and Taoist. But after the year A.D. 2000, the situation began to change. The dream’s phrase “wisdom manifests divine power” signifies that Jesus (the Wisdom of God) would now begin to work miracles in the East.

This symbolizes the beginning of “Eastern Christianization”, the second stage of redemption—in which the Eastern world, too, would come to believe in God. When both East and West have embraced Jesus, the global mission of Christianization will be complete.

Although this doctrine had already been taught in the Church, the remarkable fact was that Ms. A.A., before ever encountering the Christian faith, dreamed of this revelation herself. This showed that God wished to broaden his spiritual vision and lead her to new understanding.

In dream symbolism, clothing represents one’s spiritual role or mission:

Green clothes signify a postman,

White clothes signify a doctor,

Gray clothes signify frustrated.

Thus, the gray-robed man represented Jesus’ messenger—for in the East, the redemptive work of Jesus is still in a state of frusstration.

The act of the gray-robed man waking A.A. from sleep symbolizes spiritual awakening. It was a divine call to A.A.:

“The time has changed—wake up and see the new world with new eyes. You have long lived within the Buddhist world; now it is time to awaken.”

This echoes Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:42–44: “Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.”

In this dream, the term “Wisdom” refers to Jesus, just as in the Gospel of John He is called “the Word”, and in Genesis 1 He is called the “Light.” All these titles point to the same truth:

Jesus is transforming the world, bringing divine wisdom and salvation to the East, just as He once did in the West.

There was a man, Ms. B.B., who had long been a devout follower of Buddhism and Taoism and was also a successful businessman. Even before encountering the Catholic faith, he was someone who often dreamed, and after coming to know God, he continued to have frequent dreams.

One night, he dreamed:

“I entered a door marked A. Beyond it was a vast maze that looked like a large warehouse—sometimes dark, sometimes bright, with scattered points of colored light. I wandered inside the maze for a while, and eventually came to another door marked B.

I initially thought that Door A and Door B were the same, so I tried to go out through Door B. But I realized that they were two different doors. So I turned back, went through Door A, and tried to exit that way.

When I stepped outside Door A, something felt wrong. So I turned back again, passed once more through Door A, and headed toward Door B.

When I finally exited through Door B, I saw that a part of myself was still back at Door A. I thought, ‘Never mind—just keep moving forward.’”

Jesus said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

(John 14:6)

From this Scripture, we understand that no one can reach heaven except through Jesus, for “the Father” represents God in Heaven, and Heaven is the dwelling place of the Father.

Scripture also says that God has given all authority in heaven and on earth to Jesus (Matthew 28:17). Therefore, if one wishes to enter heaven, it must be through Jesus’ permission. This means we must first study and understand His teachings, learning the conditions required to enter Heaven. Only then can we reach eternal life through Him.

In Ms. B.B.’s dream, the A Door represents his former Buddhist-Taoist faith. The maze beyond it symbolizes the cycle of reincarnation, where one continually wanders without escape.

The B Door represents Christianity, the faith she later encountered. Hers attempt to exit through Door B shows his initial willingness to believe in God and seek Heaven.

However, his return to Door A reflects his inner hesitation—hers old Buddhist and Taoist beliefs still influenced her, creating conflict between the two paths.

His movement back and forth between the two doors symbolizes his spiritual struggle: he recognized the truth of God’s path but still clung to old traditions and concepts.

Finally, hers decision to exit through Door B means that he ultimately chose to follow Jesus, accepting Him as the true way to Heaven.

The part of herself still remaining at Door A represents the lingering remnants of his past beliefs, yet his determination to move forward shows that he had made his final, faithful decision.

This dream perfectly revealed the inner journey of her faith—how she moved from confusion to conviction. It demonstrates how dreams can expose the hidden thoughts of the heart, showing the remarkable way in which God speaks to the soul through dreams.

There was a man, Dr. C.C., a senior and experienced physician. One day he had the following dream:

a. “I was invited to the Presidential Office to treat President Lai Ching-te. Using my medical training, I examined him through observation, inquiry, and diagnosis, and prescribed medicine for him.

b. The second time, I entered the Presidential Office again to see how the medicine had worked. But instead of the president, I saw only his steward, a dog, and a cat. I thought to myself, Perhaps it is the dog or cat that is ill, and since they are not covered by health insurance, I should prescribe medicine for them instead. Then I woke up.”

In the Old Testament, Jesus was often called King or the Son of God, but in our modern democratic era, the symbol of a president replaces that of a monarch. In reality, of course, Dr. C.C. never entered the Presidential Office nor treated the president. Because the dream does not match literal events, it concerns spiritual matters rather than worldly ones.

In both Scripture and dreams, each figure serves as a metaphor—a way for God to teach spiritual truths. In this dream, the President represents Jesus, not as a person, but as a position of divine authority—the ruler of Heaven, the “President of the Kingdom of God.”

In Exodus 15:26, God says:

“If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His eyes, obeying His commandments and keeping all His laws, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”

Thus, Jesus is our divine physician, who heals not only bodily illness but the sin of the soul.

However, since in reality Dr. C.C. is himself a doctor, the roles are reversed in the dream. The doctor represents a believer, and the President represents Jesus.

The President’s “illness” signifies that Jesus’ mission in the East remains incomplete—after two thousand years, Christianity has not yet become widespread in the Eastern world. God therefore calls Dr. C.C., symbolically as a physician, to assist Jesus in healing this condition—that is, to help bring about the Christianization of the East, so that more people may come to believe in Christ. When the “President’s illness” is healed, it means the mission of evangelization in the East has become healthy and successful.

This refer to Ezekiel 45:9–11, where God commands the rulers (the “princes” or “leaders”) of Israel to act with justice and fairness, no longer exploiting the people but using accurate weights and measures:

“Thus says the Lord God: Enough, princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop evicting my people. You shall have honest scales, an honest ephah, and an honest liquid measure. The ephah and the liquid measure shall be of the same size: the liquid measure equal to one-tenth of a homer, by the homer they shall be determined”

In the past, Satan ruled the heavens with corruption and greed, burdening souls and leading them to sin. The kingdom was filled with moral decay. But now, through Jesus’ redemptive work, a new Heaven is being established. God grants His appointed rulers—including Jesus and those who serve in His name—righteous authority and abundant grace, so that they may lead without exploiting others.

The command for “accurate measures” symbolizes that heavenly leaders must govern with fairness and integrity, not with selfish ambition or greed, lest they bring turmoil upon the people of God.

Based on this understanding:

Dr. C.C.’s first visit to treat the President symbolizes his commitment to support Jesus’ mission—to spread the Gospel and bring healing to the spiritual condition of the East.

The action of entering the Presidential Office represents entering into unity with Jesus, joining in His divine work.

Prescribing medicine signifies offering wise counsel and faithfully practicing God’s will to help others believe in Christ.

The second visit represents a later stage, checking the results of evangelization. This time, the doctor no longer sees the President himself, but rather the steward, the dog, and the cat.

The steward represents the “hundredfold” servants of God (Matthew 13:1–9)—the leaders and administrators of Heaven.

The dog and cat represent the “sixtyfold” and “thirtyfold” believers—the ordinary faith.

Thus, the inhabitants of the Presidential Office—the steward, the dog, and the cat—symbolize Jesus’ all the believers.

Through the faithful efforts of Dr. C.C. and others like him, the people of the East have gradually begun to embrace the faith, showing that the work of salvation is bearing fruit.

The dream, therefore, reveals a divine commission:

To help heal the spiritual illness of unbelief, to bring the Eastern world into the light of Christ, and to unite all souls under the just and merciful leadership of the true “Heavenly President,” Jesus.
