Birthmark in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Mole, Skin mark, Mark from birth

What it means

A divine brand.

Being set apart from birth. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee.

The mark is not earned and cannot be acquired — it was there before the person could do anything about it.

✦ When it is positive

  • A reminder of one's peculiarity
  • Distinction given before birth

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Having forgotten the birthmark, or its being lost, representing losing sight of one's distinct grace and forgetting one's spiritual identity

How to tell the difference

Note whether the mark is seen, hidden, remembered or lost. A birthmark rediscovered in a dream often concerns a calling the dreamer had set aside rather than one newly given.
