Repenting in a dream

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

Also: Turning back, Confession, Repentance, Confessing sin

What it means

Turning away from sin; returning to God; humbling oneself before Him.

Consecration; dedicating oneself; surrendering, committing, and offering oneself as a living sacrifice.

Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of. The grief that turns a person is different from the grief that only torments them.

✦ When it is positive

Turning from sin to holiness
Walking in sanctification
Consecration
Offering one's members to God

⚠ When it is a warning

Sorrow that does not turn
Confession without forsaking

How to tell the difference

Note whether the repentance in the dream is completed. Repentance begun and interrupted may point to something the dreamer has acknowledged but not yet turned from.

Scripture

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
