Escaping in a dream

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

Also: Breaking free, Fugitive, Getting away, Escape

What it means

Breaking free — physical rescue, spiritual deliverance from sin, and the promise that God provides a way out of temptation.

Divine rescue; being released by God; a way out of a situation.

God will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. The escape is provided rather than devised.

✦ When it is positive

  • God delivering the dreamer from sin, temptation or trouble
  • Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Escaping a responsibility rather than a danger
  • Fleeing when no one is pursuing

How to tell the difference

Distinguish escaping FROM something (deliverance) from escaping a duty (avoidance). Note whether the way out is opened for the dreamer or forced by them — a door that opens is provision, a wall climbed is effort.

Scripture

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB)

For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
