God’s promises are never less than His best for us. He is a God who loves us in such a way that He wants the very best for us — the best with reference to His character and His understanding of what will make us into the image of His Son. If we yield to Him and are willing to be moved and modified in the process, He will do whatever is necessary, even to moving mountains and men to bring about what is best.
While one common type of dream is a “clutter dream”, a second kind of common dream is a self-to-self dream. Many of your dreams are likely to be self-to-self 
dreams. These are thoughts that are under your radar coming up onto your radar screen in a dream or your subconscious heart-thinking coming up into your awareness. Have you ever had a dream in which no matter how hard you tried to run you could only move in slow motion? Desperately grabbing bushes or grass or someone’s ponytail won’t even help speed up your progress! That is a common example of a self-to-self dream which is revealing a struggle within in your off-the-radar thinking. Somewhere in your heart-thinking you are doubting your ability to get where you need to go with a project or a relationship or a job, etc. (Third excerpt from Kathy’s article “Realizing the Value of our Dreams”)
The promises of God are many and varied. There are promises of provision, of 
enabling for tasks and callings, of persons whom I will bless and persons who will bless me and of doors opening that will bring the actualization of those promises. Promises are those solid stones we step on when moving in the direction of purpose. They are like wings on an airplane that hold the engines and give the fuselage lift.
One common type of dream that many people have is a clutter dream. This sort of dream clears out thought-clutter and gives you room to think, (like at times you have to clean your bedroom to be able to get to the bed to sleep!) Pieces of things 
you have seen or read or felt or heard or smelled or done or wondered about or talked about in the last three weeks are swept into one giant clutter pile in a dream. So that night you have a really strange dream adventure like this: you are the superhero star in the movie trailer you saw. Then while you swing your sword of justice, you keep smelling the dog poop you stepped in on Tuesday, and you hear a grizzly bear behind you because you saw pictures of Alaska in a magazine. Then, because you ran into a lady at the mall that reminded you of your Grandma, when you look around you discover it’s not a grizzly behind you. It’s Grandma riding a reindeer! That is a strange adventure dream with clutter gathered from everything that has crossed your awareness. There is usually no important message in a clutter dream. They simply clear out thought clutter to de-stress you, mind and body. In fact, the Hebrew word for dream means “restore to health”. So, a house-cleaning or de-cluttering dream is a valuable way to relieve stress and reset mentally. (Second excerpt from Kathy’s article “Realizing the Value of our Dreams”)
If you are going after destiny, you will find yourself on a collision path with the order of God. Any movement toward order will expose something that doesn’t belong in your life. The destiny of Jesus will bring you into order. “Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.” (Ps.119:133, NKJV)
(Kathy Gabler)—God gave us many ways to communicate: we can speak or refuse to speak, (both send a message); we can sing, whistle, make a face, gesture, write, 
draw and we can also dream. Dreaming is a direct line of communication like our own personal telephone. Our mind and body can communicate in a dream. For example, if your legs are aching because you played too many sets of tennis and you dream your legs fall off that night, that is not God sending you a warning in a dream. That is just your mind or imagination messaging your body with a drastic option to relieve the pain while you sleep! (First excerpt from Kathy’s article “Realizing the Value of our Dreams”)

As the people of God assemble today may they hear the Word of Life and may their 
hearts and minds be turned upon Him who is their life and may they draw life from His presence; life for spiritual strength, life for well-being both in body and emotion, and draw life that it might be passed on to others so those others might know that Jesus lives and is their Hope. “But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].” (Jn.20:31, Amp)
May the Lord our Sustainer restore you limb for limb, organ for organ and blood cell for blood cell. May you feel His regenerating power flow through you today. “And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in (into) peace and be continually healed and freed from your [distressing bodily] disease.” (Mk.5:34, Amp)
Where or how do you get the promise of God? All I know is that one day I suddenly came to the realization that, over time, God has given me certain promises. Knowing the desires of my heart in prayer and meditation on His Word, God has 
given promises at those times also. But most often it has been like little discoveries, one here and one there. It’s something like, “I have God’s assurance on ‘that.’ It’s already done!” Some promises include the fact that He will work in and through me to bring about the promise. Others, He has worked in persons and situations in such a way that all I could do was just stand back and be amazed (cf.Rom.4:20-21). There is an overall promise and purpose and as I have walked in it I have received other promises, some of which have already been realized. “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” (Rom.4:20-21, NKJV) (From Marty Gabler’s book “Sheep Have Short Legs”.)
