Numbers are a common occurrence in dreams. Sometimes, the only thing you may see is a number flash across you. Numbers have significance and when interpreted rightly, have profound meaning.

Numbers in dreams can often represent a variety of realities that a person may experience or come across in their day to day lives. They may refer to time (days, months or years, dates), money and finances, house address, age, scriptures of the Bible, and a lot more. They could be added together, subtracted, all depending on how you’re led.

Sometimes, numbers refer to biblical experiences that are interpreted for us by scripture. For eg. a common passage of scripture like Jeremiah 33:3 would be represented by the number 333. It would simply (although not always) mean that God wants you to spend time with Him. He wants to reveal things to you. Or Mark 1:11, depicted by the number 111, would mean the Fathers affirmation to you that you’re His son and He loves you very much. You may even see these numbers in the middle of the day, like the time on your watch, or the train station indicators… look out for them. God is speaking.

Some of the common scriptural representations of the most common numbers are:
1 – God, Unity, Oneness.
2 – (faithful) witness, Separated from the world.
3 – Fulness, Resurrection, Godhead.
4 – God’s creative works; creation.
5 – Grace, redemption.
6 – Old Man, Carnality.
7 – Perfection, completion.
8 – New beginnings [Teacher].
9 – Fruit bearing [Evangelist], gifts of the Spirit.
10 – Journey, nurture, Perfect order [Pastor].
11 – Transition, standing in the gap [Prophet], mighty deeds, extraordinary acts.
12 – Government [Apostle]. Now these may be a generic set of references for the most common instances in dreams, but they’re not cast in stone. You need to ask the Holy Spirit to tell you exactly what the numbers in your dream means. Sometimes, they may have nothing to do with the about common meaning. The interpretation needs to bear witness in you before you accept it.
