Naked dream meaning

1. DREAM OF A CRYSTAL CLEAR RIVER

Image by Artem Militonian

When you have a dream and you see a crystal clear river or a very pure river, what this indicates is that God is telling you something about purity and peace, God might be calling you to a life of purity. It is possible that before you had this dream, you might have engaged in something sinful or you have been careless in serving God and He wants to remind you to rekindle a pure life. God could also be telling you to strive to be Holy or live a Holy life like Him. Pray for grace to live purely for Him and maintain peace with people around you and the message will be fulfilled. 

2. DREAM OF BLUE RIVER

When you have a dream of seeing a river and the water is sky blue, what this indicates is that God is communicating to you about power and prosperity. God wants to empower you with power and prosperity. Why do you need power? To face enemies. The enemies we have are constantly fighting to get you down. No matter who you are or how insignificant you are, there will always be enemies trying to fight you. You need the power of God to defeat them. Another key tool you need to fight the enemies is prosperity. Without success, you are easily accessible to the enemies. SO this dream has a beautiful message in it, take note.

3. DREAM OF A BROWN OR MUDDY RIVER

When you dream of seeing a brown, muddy, or dirty river, God is talking to you about the spirit of perversion or confusion. It is either you are getting into perversion or you are surrounded by perversion, or something pervasive might be happening around your life, and the spirit of confusion might be taking over you. God wants to address something relative to either of these. Let me explain, there are desperate situations you can get to in life where you are just at your lowest point. This is when the devil comes with offers to tempt your fate, it might be in a relationship where you are being forced to have sex with a guy out of marriage or stealing some money because you have no other option. During moments like this, once you give in to the devil's offer, it can lead you into confusion. You slowly lose God's presence in your life. God reveals such dreams in moments like this. Tough times come with confusion but once you get the message, you can be guided spiritually. If you need spiritual counsel, get in touch with me.

4. DREAM OF A RED RIVER

When you see a red river in your dream, God is talking to you about punishment; a punishment is coming or the spirit of death is coming into your life. This dream can also come in the context of you falling into a red river; this means you are doing something wrong and the judgment of God is coming upon you. You need to appeal to Heaven and plead for mercy quickly or get ready to face the judgment of God.

5. DREAM OF A GREEN RIVER

When you dream of seeing a green river that is not moving, or a green river that is like a pond and is not flowing; God is speaking to you about the spirit of stagnation coming into your life, you need to address this quickly so your life is not stagnant. You might notice that things are not working well for you. Things that you should have at 30 years, you are still struggling to acquire. This is hell! It is a representation of a curse on your life. If you don't seek God's mercy, you will end horribly.

6. DREAM OF BEING BY THE RIVER BANK

When you dream of seeing yourself at the bank of a river, it can signify the anointing of God’s grace is coming upon you for unlimited growth in life. God is telling you that He is blessing you with the anointing you need to facilitate your growth so you can achieve all you desire in life. We all need God's grace in life to keep going, to keep pushing through life's hurdles. On our own strength, we would fall apart. Hence, God's grace is crucial to our survival. When you have this dream, go on your knees and thank Him for giving you the grace to keep going. Whatever difficulty you are facing, trust me, it is not the end of the world, you will make it through. God is beside you. He is with you.

7. DREAM OF SEEING A RIVER IN FRONT OF YOU

Image by Martin Sanchez

When you see a river in your dream, it can represent a barrier. A hindrance. God is saying that there might be something that wants to block you from going to the next level of your life, you need to rebuke and fight against whatever or whoever wants to stand as an obstacle in your life. It could be at your workplace, business, or neighborhood. There are always people who are never happy seeing you do more than them. Such people can become blockers of favour. God is revealing them to you in this dream so ensure you take it up in the place of prayers and decree FIRE on them.

8. DREAM OF STANDING CLOSE TO A RIVER

Image by Paul Pastourmatzis

When you stand close to a river in your dream, it can symbolize a covenant with the land, it could be that there is an evil presence in the land where you were born or where you currently are that is looking to take ownership of your soul. God is telling you that there is a connection with you to a river that is now controlling you. You need the prophetic deliverance immediately so you can break such a covenant against your life and be delivered.

9. DREAM OF LAYING BY A RIVER 

Image by Hamza Bounaim

When you dream of lying by the river and you are calm within your spirit, what this represents is the peace of God. God is saying to you that He is blessing you with deep peace; a peace from within like the river. Whatever may be troubling you is nothing before God. Fear not! Worry not! That situation is not the end of you. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to your spiritual father. If you need someone to talk to, get in touch.

10. DREAM OF FISHING IN A RIVER

Image by Brady Rogers

When you dream and you see yourself fishing or catching fish happily in the river, what this signifies is the epitome of blessing. Get ready, God is going to bless you abundantly or open the Heavens and pour His blessings upon your life. I love this dream because it was the dream I had before I experienced a huge breakthrough in my life. To this day, I will always thank the Lord for this dream. I had it when I was close to suicide, nothing was working and I felt tempted to quit ministry and quit life. Shortly after, I received this revelation. God spoke calmly in my spirit and I was blessed with a huge land which is where my first ministry began. A life-changing dream.

11. DREAM OF SEEING YOUR LATE FATHER FISHING WITH YOU IN A RIVER

Image by Federico Giampieri

When you dream of seeing yourself with your late father, and he is helping you to fish in a river. In this context, your late father in the dream represents God; God is invariably telling you that He will teach you how to fish, and He will give you strategies on how to succeed in life from scratch to the top. WOW! What a blessing! When God himself shows you the strategies to succeed, you can be assured that those strategies will be uncommon. You will suddenly start to exude wisdom in an unusual fashion. Once you see this, get on your knees and appreciate Him, and then become very sensitive to His instructions. Remember, the ways of the Lord are very different from the ways of men. This means, the ideas you will have will be different but will yield bountiful results.

12. DREAM OF SEEING YOUR HOUSE IN A RIVER (WITHOUT IT FLOODING)

Image by Zion C

When you have this dream, what it indicates is that you will be in the middle of a crisis, problems and hardship but the grace of God will shield and protect you and evil will not overcome you. This is one dream you should brace up for. Fear not. When you are surrounded by the impossible, do you know who can rescue you? THE ALMIGHTY. He is just showing you this so you can be prepared. The troubles will not overcome you. He will give you the grace to handle them. Acknowledge Him, thank Him for revealing this.
