Manifesting the Unseen Future

Airbus A380 at ORT International, Johannesburg

Last night I dreamed I climbed onto a white aeroplane midair with a pilot. The plane had neither passengers nor crew and we were going to the front, the cockpit, to fly the plane. The pilot was taking the left seat and I was taking the co-pilot’s seat.


I was amazed at the interpretation although I suppose I shouldn’t be since this is what God is speaking about to me at the moment. From Hennie van Niekerk’s book ‘Interpreting Dreams and Visions’ Vol.1 p.118: “An aeroplane can symbolize our faith in the fulfillment of the prophetic (rhema) word of God. We have experienced that an aeroplane landing symbolizes a prophetic word that comes into fulfillment.” 

In my dream we were taking control of flying the plane in order to land it safely. I believe the captain (pilot) was the Holy Spirit and I would be the one actually flying the plane under His Guidance and Direction. From Hennie’s book: “As an aeroplane has time to reach its destiny, prophetic revelation also has a time to reach its goal. There is actually a responsibility for this plane before it lands. This speaks of our responsibility to maintain our faith in God’s prophetic word so that our destiny can be reached.”

This all ties in with God’s instructions on manifesting the prophetic via prophetic declarations and decrees, vocalizing to the atmosphere on a continual basis that which GOD has said, until that which is dead comes back to life and manifests in the earthly realm. Wow.

The plane was all white (no markings) which is also significant: He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:5 NKJ So the dream was an exhortation to be an overcomer: we need to continue to do this, to declare the Promises of God and the prophetic words over our lives until the manifestation of God’s truth, until the unseen reality shows up as fact. You can find more specific ways of doing that in "Raising the Dead".

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality; faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses. Hebrews 11: 1 TAB

Hennie van Niekerk's 3 volumes "Interpreting Dreams and Visions" are available only from the Publisher. I have found them to be the best books of everything "out there" on dream interpretation. Let me know if you'd like contact details under "Comments".

Interpreting dreams

God does speak. All the time. Most of the time I find He speaks to me through His Word. Of course, we know His voice (Jesus assured us “my sheep know my voice”) and it’s possible that if we are NOT hearing His voice maybe we aren’t following Him all that closely. And that is our choice. We are each as close to God as we want to be. Most dreams are natural dreams. They work the way defragmenting or downloading the hard drive of a computer prevents a breakdown. Dreaming is one of the things that prevents me needing a psychologist. Sometimes, God speaks to me in a dream. I love it when I wake up with a clear and vivid memory of a dream and I just KNOW God is speaking through it. I immediately write it down. And then, God helps me with the interpretation of it. Pharaoh said to Joseph in Egypt, it is said of you that you can understand a dream and interpret it. Joseph answered Pharaoh, It is not in me; God, not I will give Pharaoh a favorable answer of peace. (Genesis 41:15-16). 

I have had spectacular warnings in dreams. I once received a warning in a dream, not to drive on a particular road and the specific situation was shown in the dream. Later I heard that an acquaintance was caught in the very situation that I avoided, when driving on that exact road at the exact place I was warned of in the dream, within 12 hours of that dream. Of course, had I known I would have warned that person. But I think God through this allowed me to see that the warning was not a figment of my imagination, so that I could learn to trust the ways God speaks to us. Unfortunately the consequences whilst not life-threatening, took that person at least 2 months to overcome. The outcome might have been different (perhaps worse) for me had I not heeded the warning in the dream.

Other very precise instructions have been given to me in dreams. Dreams have also brought insight into something good about to happen, giving me a sense of how to conduct myself in a new situation or relationship. God is sovereign, and He chooses how he will speak. “God always answers, one way or another, even when people don’t recognize His presence. In a dream, for instance, a vision at night, when men and women are deep in sleep, fast asleep in their beds- God opens their ears and impresses them with warnings To turn them back from something bad they’re planning, from some reckless choice, And keep them from an early grave, from the river of no return.” (Job 33:14-17) 

Dreams are good things.
