Children’s Dreams and Nightmares: A Parent’s Guide to Understanding

If your children suffer from nightmares, then this is the book for you!

Your children are dreaming spiritual dreams – they are having visions and supernatural experiences. These God encounters are a part of our spiritual inheritance. We need to help our children develop their gifts. If we don’t teach them God’s ideas about dreams and visions, the world will teach them theirs.

Saunders has practical ideas to teach your children to hear that still small voice. He has an “Encouragement Toolkit” for encouraging your child to welcome encounters with God in a spiritually discerning way.

I was surprised when Saunders said, “God wants your child to have nightmares. Why do you think He is allowing them?” The answer is that God wants them to exercise their authority over the enemy at a very young age.

I was also surprised to learn that lucid dreaming did not originate with the New Age movement. Lucid dreaming was God’s idea. He wants us to use it for His honor and glory.

Lucid dreaming is consciously interacting with people and events in a dream. Imagine if your child could kill the demon that was chasing them in a dream, or fly away with an angel from a dark, scary place. This is what makes lucid dreams so powerful. You can change the outcome of a nightmare with spiritual warfare.

Saunders’ book is short, easy to read. It will give you tools to enter the spiritual battle for your children’s dreams.
