I can see that this questions is very important to you :
Quote:1) [b]Do we have any influence/control at all in choosing the pple that fill up our dreams? The people we see in d dreams, that act as characters/diff persons there, how do they get picked for the role they act in our dreams, and does it have anything to do with our own actions towards them in reality?[/b]
Except your dreams are being manipulated or you are under manipulations but even that doesn't give you power to determine what or whom your dreams should entails. In a nutshell, your dream is not a movie you can determine or decide whom should or shouldn't be therein. God will never share is glory with anybody,Never!!!
Secondly, There is no such thing as roles and no one is picking anybody to play any character because God uses people, scene or images we can relate or familiar with to minister to us through our dreams - he actually speaks in parable. But mind you,some dreams are reality of our lives, experiences and what has, was and is to come and/or the reality of what's on ground or what the said person(be it for good or evil) truly represent in the realm of the spirit and/or wake life. And this take us to your second question....
Quote:Now, if i have a dream that i need to pray on which entails spiritual attack but the person i see carrying out the attack in d dream is a Christian or very close to me, and i know the person to an extent that he/she isnt like that and even his/her actions in reality isnt dat way, is it possible that unknown to d person,the real enemy is using his/her image for d evil work ( I read something like this somewhere) or how can one really b certain with no assumptions?
The emboldened (above)may only be your personal observation, opinion and no necessary God's opinion especially if God said or says otherwise. For who can see what's in the deepest of darkness than God? Who knows the heart of man and the secret therein? Who sees the unseen and knows the unknown than God?
Now, so as not to confuse you, Yes, it's so true that devil and the kingdom of darkness(in case of dream manipulation or when God speaks in parable) can transform or metamorphose into a close friend,relation, family member or anybody you love to cause confusion. But this isn't often the case when such dream is frequent. For the bible says ; your body is the temple of the lord. Meaning, for them to frequently and continuously manipulate or put on that person's image it means you need to watch your back or the person in question belongs to them. But in case it's not, then that could be manipulate or attempt to cause confusion. In all that, it's always the best to seek the lord for clarification as to why you keep seeing the same person attacking you and/or contrary to what's abstained in the wake life.
And do take note of this, your dream is your life, your god and the story of your life they are not to be joke with or wish away *according to the book of : Joel 2:28, Ps 25:14. Also, you must know that dream interpretations isn't about reading and replying it takes more than that ,its the voice of God (well, I don't know about elsewhere), his message and his word and instructions. Anyway, it's deeper than I can explain, beyond human understand as some dreams can take as long as 24 hr or more to interpretation.
Bless you
