Dreams and visions
It is not easy to distinguish most of the time whether dreams or visions come from God, from demonic energy or are simply natural events.
This is why special care is required to accept them or not, something that most of our teaching and ascetic teachers have pointed out to us.
Thus, according to these fathers, the dream, the vision and the miracle still do not appear clearly before us, but their interpretation and evaluation are not done by themselves, but depend on our own circumstances: depending on the degree We also have the evaluation of the above phenomena. This means that the interpretation we give may be the reason for the progress or setback in our spiritual life, as the interpretation will be colored by the content of our heart. Thus, it is not sometimes that a vision, for example, is considered to come from God, when in fact it is a demonic inspiration, rather than the other way around. The first reason for these issues, therefore, is, as we have said, the virtue of distinguishing it.
