Your dream may mean different things depending on your appearance and the soldier you spoke with. According to the scriptures (the Bible), soldiers are often portrayed as figures of power, discipline, and authority, but it doesn’t end there because context matters. In some contexts, soldiers in the dream may also represent spiritual warfare, faith, obedience, and your Christian life.
This is the point where I tell you to relax and push out any form of fear that has been crawling into your mind; what you need now is to point out every important detail in the dream and try to match them with the basics that would be given here.
The spiritual meaning of talking to a soldier in a dream
The spiritual meaning of seeing soldiers in a dream is not limited to your fears or how you feel in your heart. The situation may be more sensitive than that. Dreaming of soldiers, or talking to soldiers in a dream, may mean one of the following.
Spiritual warfare
Ever heard of the phrase “life and death is in your tongue.” Yes, speaking to a soldier says a lot about what is bothering you on your mind. If you’ve been dealing with some spiritual battles, talking to a soldier in the dream reflects God’s position on what you’ve been praying about.
This dream reminds you that the battle is of the Lord’s, and what you need to do is let him handle the case on your behalf; whoever you were speaking to in the dream is an angel of war and not just some random soldier. Now, all you need to do is keep giving praise and glory to God for this victory.
Depending on the timing you had this dream, if you weren’t having any issues in your life before and spoke to a soldier in the dream, try to remember the details of the dream or pray for more clarity, because he could have been a messenger of war and was preparing you for the war that is to come. Though not necessarily a physical war but a spiritual one, the outcome of this war may affect every part of your life.
Defense
This dream of soldiers is mostly associated with challenges and confrontations that you would have to address in the following days, and this war is not for the physical but the spiritual; prepare yourself. Talking to a soldier speaks of the need for you to go in search of wisdom to come out victorious in a certain situation that you’re in. Sometimes, the situations where we find ourselves can become overwhelming, and because we’ve tried our best and failed, we ask for help and advice.
It’s time to go to God in prayer to seek clarity, wisdom, and understanding, to come up with strategies that you could use in navigating the problem at hand. Your dream also acts as a form of warning, or a reminder to take up the defense, put on the whole armor of God, and get ready for the wave of trials that is yet to come. It is time to exercise your faith and your knowledge of God.
Strongman
Talking to a soldier in the dream may symbolize a test of your faith. In dreams like this, you must try to recall whatever was said because it could be that you’ve spoken to a strong man in your life. By strong man, I mean a household enemy, deity, foundational problems, and anything or anyone making sure you do not reach your full potential.
This is usually the case if you’ve taken a deliverance session or are currently on one. The moment you try to break away from forces that hold you down, the spiritual realm is very much aware, and those powers may not let you go easily, so the soldier you spoke to in the dream represents these issues you’re trying to break away from. Maybe he has come to make a show of force and remind you of how little you may be and to just deposit fear in you; you need to remember the story of David and Goliath.
Whatever powers you’re battling have nothing against the power of the highest God, so the next prayer session you have, have that confrontation again if you can, but this time, come in the name of the Lord and watch that soldier or soldier crumble.
Soldiers arrest you in the dream.
Dreams like these call for concern because someone who likes you wouldn’t come to arrest you. So whether or not you have dreams of becoming a soldier one day, being arrested by soldiers in the dream signifies pending trouble in your life. The coming days may be tough, and you may need to be very careful because your dream portends a spiritual attack.
Yes, you may get arrested in your waking life or get framed for something in your office. However, the main meaning of getting arrested by soldiers in the dream is entrapment; your enemies are envious of you and have gone to strange lengths to deal with you.
What this means is that you need to take a bold step and seek your deliverance, because you may see the manifestation of this dream if you don’t take the necessary actions. Turn to your spiritual father for help, and pray out your deliverance, just like the Israelites in the Bible, and things may begin to turn out great once again.
Conclusion
What does it mean to see a soldier in the dream? Seeing soldiers in the dream mostly has to do with your standing in faith. Sometimes, it reflects your level of discipline regarding a matter in your life, and depending on what happens with the soldiers in the dream, your dream may just be an afterthought of the action movie you saw last night!
