Covenant in a dream

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

Also: Blood covenant, Divine agreement, Testament, Binding agreement

What it means

A solemn, binding promise and relationship between God and people.

A binding promise between two persons; a contract or agreement.

Covenant in Scripture is cut, not merely spoken. It is sealed with blood, a token, or a meal, and it binds beyond the feelings of those who made it.

✦ When it is positive

A binding promise between God and man
A faithful agreement between two people
The new covenant written on the heart rather than on stone

⚠ When it is a warning

A covenant broken or profaned
A covenant entered with what is not God
An agreement the dreamer did not knowingly consent to

How to tell the difference

Identify the PARTIES and the TOKEN. A covenant made with an unknown figure, or sealed by a meal, ring, blood or intimacy with someone who is not the dreamer's spouse, should be examined for a familiar spirit rather than read as blessing. Two cannot walk together except they be agreed.
