Ok first off I'm not a christian but on several occasions i have had dreams involving me being in hell. I have no idea why I'm there or what I did to go there. As my dream progesses I take on the role of a person leading massess of people out as I feel a tremendous bruden lifted.
Any ideas on what this means?

Complete Speculation.
But, here's one possibility.
First, you could be in hell because you aren't a Christian. No offense, but seriously possible/probable, sincw you aren't it might be what leads you down the path that takes you there.
Now, I haven't heard this from anyone else, I don't know where my aunt read this. But she always talks about reading some where in the Bible that at some point (after the great judgement an everything) that the rift or whatever that seperates the Good people and the Bad (most C's would say heaven, but it would be in Sheol) dissapears pretty much, and at that point the Good people are able to cross over to where the Bad people are being held and vise versa, at this point she always talks about how when this happens all the Good people will converse with the Bad people and teach them all of God's word so that they know the light and are now turned Good.
It could be that you may wind up in the Bad place.....and after you (and the rest of the Bad ones) have been punished. The end of the 1000 years of peace would be the most likely end to that punishement, since at that point evil would then be finally destroyed for good and there would be a new heaven and a new earth made. And once the punishment is ended then maybe it is you who are first to learn God's word from the Elect and help to lead the rest of the punished sinners out of hell and into paradise and ever lasting life with the Lord.
I don't know if that is true and really talked about in the Bible or not, my aunt says she read it somewhere but I have't. If anyone else has read that somewhere let me know where please.

Dream interpitition, to me, is something that you should find the meaning for yourself. It will depend on perosnal factors, attitude, events in your life, etc. This one sounds to me that you are to help guide someone. My advice would be to start keeping a dream journal and refer to it often. I have found this very helpful.

Great advice Nova each persons dreamscape is uniquely there own, without kowing you personally its hard to interperet your dream for you...... Other than to tell you ask yourself before you fall asleep to show yourself your own dream symbols you will have a dream and journaling your dreams helps understand them its a different language is all you have to learn to speak it..... the Seth books are about the best IMO on understanding how to do this....

What are Seth books??? I'm trying to find other ways to benefit from dream journals. I do interpit my dreams, but I would like some more information to help me understand dreams better.

What does it mean where you have a dream that has absolutly no bearing on anything related to when you are awake?
Where you dream as it is from your perspective and not third person, yet every dream is very different and none of them seem to be related to any kind of issue that you are aware of when you are awake.

Dig a little deeper. Dream journals are a must. Do think you will be able to remember all your dreams. Sometimes the small details are the most important. Plus, a journal is a good reference.

You project yourself out into your dream and often others in your dream are those projections, I don't know you so I'm just speculating but I'd say you are examining your fears.....alot of inner work is done in the dream state....

Here is my interpretation:
You are in hell. You don't know why you are there. This symbolizes the fact that you are unsure of the after life. You have not truely made up your mind about what IS and what ISN'T in this life. I believe this symbolizes where you are in your life today.
As the dream progresses, you find yourself leading people out of hell. This symbolizes you making a descision about where you are, and where you want to be: You are in hell. You don't want to be in hell. You want to leave Hell.
Perhaps there will come a time when you become aware of your spititual position on your l whatever it may be, and decide it is not what you want. Perhaps in time you will make a descision one way or another.
The interesting part is that you lead people out of hell. This symbolizes feeling so strongly about what you have discovered about yourself and where you are that you feel a "burden" to "convert" as many people as possible to see things your way. Your feel you must "wake them up" just as you yourself "woke up" and realized that you were in hell.
Next, you sucessfully lead people out of hell. This solidifies the fact that you made the right choice, because if you were wrong about this discovery you made, you would have not been able to convinve other people, or "lead" them out of hell. This reaffirms the realization you made about where you were, and where you wanted to be.
You successfully lead the people out of hell, and a burden is lifted.
This symbolizes a huge potential, or destiny in your life. It symbolizes the fact that one of your purposes was to be a spiritual leader. You become so convicted of this purpose, that you actually start to feel the burden of other lost souls, other people who are in hell. You have a deep desire to lead them out of that place. And not only that, you have the ABILITY to lead them sucessfully!
When they are lead out, their burden no longer weighs you down.
Now about the statue of Jesus with fear in his face.
This statue does not symboloze Jesus. It symbolozes you. The reason it looks like Jesus is because of the potential you have to live a life similiar to Jesus. The reason it is a statue is ti symbolize the fact that right now you are "stuck". You are frozen.
With fear. You have the potential inside you to be a spiritual leader someday, but the fear of what others will think, what your family will think, and even what YOU will think, holds you back. If you do not conquer this fear, you will remain as a statue. Your potential will go untapped.
This fear may be conquered naturally as you grow older. Or, it may solidify and become even stronger. It is my personal feeling that fears which are not confronted get stronger as time progresses, just like glue get's harder is you do not touch or bend it.
Now, I must say, it is NOT my intention to preach to you. It is not my intention to try and trick you into Christianity. It is not my intention to force my, or anyone else beliefs on you. Only YOU can ever make the descision what to believe in, and what path to take.
All I can do is tell you my opinions. You are the one who makes the final choice about your life.
But I will say this: I believe in God. ANd I believe that since man's creation, God has spoken to believers, AND non-believers in their dreams. This may very well be a direct call from God on your life. I cannot say for sure. But if what you are telling me about the dream is correct, I think that God may be calling out to you. It is entirely up to you if you decide to answer that call or not. But before you make the descision, ask yourself, "Why would God out to ME through my dreams?" "Why would God call out to me, when I am not even a believer in Him?"
These are important points to consider. It could be that you have a special destiny to fufill, and thus, you have a special call.

Sometimes dreams don't mean anything. It might just be an overactive subconscious

One question - how do you know you were in Hell? What did it look like, what are its characteristics. Chances are its just a subconscious projection of your psyche onto a template that your conscious mind has taken as being "Hell".
Really, only you are able to answer your own dream. No one else knows your circumstances, your feelings, your state of being.
Just a thought.

I must start off by saying that this reply is in no way a defense of my interpretation of this person's dream.
But I wanted to say, how could you think that only the individual can decide what their dream means? That's like saying, only the individual can decided what is right or wrong. But that isn't true. There is a collective right and wrong which must be respected to function as a member of civilized society. Just because I don't think killing is wrong doesn't mean it is okay for me commit murder.
Why do Psychiatrists exist? Why do couselors exist? WHy do therapists exist? Because a lot of the time, people need outside opinions from those with experience in the field to help them make a descision.
Would you take out a $5000 investment without consulting your stock broker?
Please don't take my words as an attack, but I am just trying to dispell the logical impossibility of relative truth. And again, this reply was by no means a defense for my interpretation of the dream. I am not that insecure, or petty.

I didn't mean to say that dream interpretation was relative.
But honestly, do I have the knowledge to say "this dreams means......" Whatever interpretation I give will be filtered through my knowledge and understanding. In the end, no one knows nephilim's situation except nephilim himself.
Psychologists spend time getting to know you and your situation before ever delving into dream interpretations. Why do they do this, except to try and get to know you at least well enough to make an idea on why your psyche has chosen to latch on the imagery within the dream.
Know what I mean.
