“Winning the Battle for the Night” by Faith Blatchford

Mr. Sandman….

Has God spoken to you in your dreams?  Do you want to catch some zzz’s, but have a hard time getting them?  Do you catnap but never get good, lengthy sleep?  Then this book is for you.  It will help if you have trouble going to sleep, or if you have a problem staying that way.  It also suggests ways to get rid of nighttime fears, allowing sleep to take place the way God intended.  The author knows what she is talking about because she spent many years getting very few hours of slumber.  Sleeping very much, she thought, was a waste of time, so she purposely filled her day and night with lots of activities that left little time for much shut-eye.

Does God still speak to His people in their dreams?

Many of the people around the author were having lots of dreams.  They remarked that they were sure some were from God, and they received blessings or instructions from them.  The author truly believed them, and that God still speaks through dreams.  But not devoting much time for sleep was causing her to miss out on a possible God dream. Our bodies are designed to dream only after we receive a certain amount and level of sleep.

Ms. Blatchford reveals how she went from someone who slept very little, and never had dreams, to someone who now experiences lots of dreams, along with much more sleep.  It didn’t happen overnight, but she got there with prayer, patience and changes made to help promote good sleep—and all without drugs.  Most important of all, she now has dreams that she knows are from God.

This is not a dream interpretation book, although she does recommend a good book for that.  Instead, she has very good tips for dealing with dreams, even disturbing ones.  In the back of the volume are some declarations or prayers to say to help experience sound sleep and dreams.  Throughout the book, are fascinating examples of dreams others have had, and the results from them. 

The author has written this in an easy-to-read manor, and from a Christian viewpoint. I have been a victim of sleep changes that were a big clue to a serious health problem, so don’t discount visiting a doctor for possible medical issues. I liked this five-star book very much, and highly recommend it.  If you aren’t dreaming, sleeping poorly, or wondering if God is speaking to you, pick this volume up.
