God Speaks Through Dreams and Visions

As I fellowship among the saints, one of the subjects that appears to be getting a lot of attention is the subject dreams, visions, and their interpretation. Since the beginning of time God has been speaking to the saints via dreams and visions. I know that throughout my lifetime I have had many dreams and at times woke up confused, scared or either enlightened by what I had experienced while sleeping. Out of all the ways that God could get you a message or answer your prayer why would he choose to use dreams and visions? Why would He speak to me and leave me wondering if my dream was from Heaven, Hell, or Earth? Was it last nights dinner? I've been reaching for years trying to figure out my dreams as well as others, and I'm quite sure that some of you have been and possibly still are in the same boat. My prayer is that within the next few blog post, I can help bring a little clarity on how to discern what God is speaking and if it's even Him.
