What if your dreams aren't random, but one of the primary ways God is trying to speak to you? In this conversation, Caroline sits down with Kathy Gray to unpack how God uses dreams to communicate, heal, warn, and invite us into partnership with Him. Kathy shares biblical insight into the four types of dreams, how to discern literal versus symbolic messages, why nightmares are not God's will, and how to steward what God reveals in the night. This episode will equip you with clarity, confidence, and a fresh expectation that God still speaks while you sleep. Kathy Gray is the author of Light In Our Darkness, a speaker, mentor, and former radio talk show host whose life is devoted to helping others hear the voice of God, especially through dreams and visions. Raised in a biblically grounded, ministry-focused home, she has spent more than two decades studying biblical dream interpretation and, over the past eight years, has developed and taught dream seminars primarily within evangelical circles, equipping men and women to discern God's voice with clarity, humility, and confidence. Originally from Colorado, Kathy has lived in Highland Village, Texas, for 28 years with her husband, Dave, and is the proud mom of four grown sons who also reside in the Dallas area. When she's not writing, teaching, mentoring, or playing and teaching piano, she enjoys investing in her spiritual community, and escaping to the Rocky Mountains with dark chocolate in hand.
