Dry Season in a dream

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

Also: Drought season, Arid time, Dry spell

What it means

Feeling distant from God; lonely seasons.

Times when it feels as though God is far off.

My soul thirsteth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. The psalmist's dryness did not stop his seeking — it sharpened it.

✦ When it is positive

  • A time to deepen spiritual roots
  • A season for prayer and for investing in the Word

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Loneliness
  • God feeling far away
  • Hard times

How to tell the difference

DRYNESS IS A SEASON, NOT A VERDICT. The counsel is roots downward rather than despair. Note whether water appears anywhere in the dream, and whether the dreamer seeks it.

Scripture

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

Psalm 32:4 (WEB)

God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

Psalm 63:1 (WEB)

For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.

Jeremiah 17:8 (WEB)
