(066) How to Understand Your Dreams–Zoran Paunovich - a podcast by Tania Harris

In a dream, a man saw a vision of Jesus. To his surprise, Jesus gave him a"Liverpool kiss” (a head-butt in English football terms!) The dream led him to make a decision to follow Jesus. But how does a dream about a head-butting Jesus result in someone becoming a Christian?

Dreams and visions are the most common form of God-conversation in the Bible, but they’re the one we know least about. Dreams are often full of weird and wonderful scenes and symbols. How do we know when they’re from God? And then, how do we know what they mean?On this episode, we talk to Ps Zoran Paunovich, a well-known Australian church leader who has been teaching on the topic of dreams and visions for over 30 years. Zoran has also been involved in a wide range of ministries, including youth work and Bible College lecturing. He is currently the senior pastor of New Life Chapel in Victoria, Australia. 

This episode will help you understand your dreams and recognise God’s voice in them. It will also explain why a dream of a head-butting Jesus could change your life...

God’s answer came in the form of a dream with three men dressed in suits conversing around the dinner table!
