Choosing Between Two Paths in a dream

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

Also: Fork in the road, Decision point, Two roads, A crossroads choice

What it means

A need to exercise choice; a point where the dreamer is required to make a decision.

Committing to one choice only; a crucial moment of decision — life or death.

How long halt ye between two opinions? The dream is often not asking which path is better but why the dreamer has not yet moved.

✦ When it is positive

  • Choosing one's outcome
  • Determining one's result
  • Free will exercised
  • Choosing God rather than one's own way

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Taking the road the dreamer knows they should not choose
  • Going the wrong way
  • Refusing to choose at all

How to tell the difference

Note the DIFFERENCE between the two paths as shown — width, light, condition, who stands on each. Note also whether the dreamer chooses, hesitates, or wakes before deciding, since an unresolved choice usually means the decision is still before them.
