Basic Guidelines in Interpretation 
 

• Write your dreams down soon after awakening or in 

the middle of the night. 
This depends on how crucial it is for you to hear from 
the Lord, especially if you need to make some quality deci-
sions. We forget dreams very easily and God may be speaking.
Sometimes I may think that dream wasn’t important since I re-
ceive so many, so I say, “Lord tell me again if that is impor-
tant.” Write down as many details as you can remember like 
colors, persons, buildings, mode of transportation, etc. 
• Write down the city, date or circumstances in which 
you were when the dream occurred. 
Maybe you had been reading the newspaper about a 
certain event, or seen something on TV or spoken to some 
friend about a situation. The Lord may use this to trigger some-
thing in your dream. Only you will be able to interpret this 
dream because you know the situation.
One time I received a gift bag with the name Chloe on 
it (the name for a perfume). I thought nothing of the name but 
the name came up in my dream. In the morning my husband 
and I looked up that name in the Bible and found it was the 
name of a N.T. woman who was a leader in the church. Her 
household reported to Paul that there were divisions in the 
church (I Cor. 1:11). The name meant “verdant or green.” In 
my dream, I was approaching an island, which was named 
Chloe and for some strange reason the island was pink. I had to 
walk over the ice to get to the island and someone came along 
to help me. When I arrived at the island, the helper said to me

“Do you want to go downtown?”
I answered, “Yes”. At that point I woke up.
Weeks later my husband and I went to a pastors confer-
ence and we were attracted to a couple who was from S. Africa. 
We introduced ourselves and to my amazement the woman’s 
name was Chloe. Then I ventured to tell her that I had a dream 
about an island named Chloe. I told her how I went to that is-
land after walking on ice. Chloe and her husband had just 
moved to Beverly Hills and started a new work in Hollywood. 
She told me that she had also had a dream that she was skating 
on ice. Then I began to think that this pink island in my dream 
might have symbolized her new ministry in Hollywood. Going 
downtown in my dream might have symbolized Hollywood. 
My “Helper” was the one who suggested going to the island 
and going downtown. Since then, Chloe and I have had many 
interesting conversations. She is now hosting a TV program on 
Dreams and Visions. It can be exciting what will happen when 
God gives you a dream. 
• Use common sense.
“Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain 
from every form of evil”(1 Thess 5:21). 
Years ago, one of our girl students overseas had a 
dream that she had to go tell the president to humble himself, 
and if she did not do this, she would lose her salvation. Many of 
us were awakened because she was so fearful. When she related 
her dream to us, we said that that dream did not show the char-
acter of God. He does not threaten His children like that. This 
student was new in the things of God and very eager to please, 
so the devil took advantage of her. Common sense says that 
God would not send a teenager to speak to a president nor that
