To dream of putting on earrings has a positive picture if you are woman and the emotion in the dream is positive. Earrings speak of external appearances and the ‘face’ you approach the world with. It is the way people see you and in a positive context, it would mean that the Lord is blessing and is exalting you in the eyes of the world – that He is giving you a gift.

NEGATIVE...
It would not be a positive picture if you were a man and you were putting on earrings in an internal dream. This would mean that you are wearing things that are meant for a woman and that there is something very wrong in the way you are approaching life.

Earrings and jewels (in a positive light) were given to a bride or the betrothed. In this passage the Lord describes how He clothes Israel with beauty and gave her jewels to wear to accentuate that beauty. So to see jewelry in a vision or external dream could indicate a new gift of blessing from the Lord. Not a desire being met, but rather a desire that He will meet.

Ezekiel 16:12 "And I put a jewel on your forehead, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
Putting on earrings to draw attention to herself in a negative way indicates a harlot and one who is using her charms in a lewd manner. Dressing up to impress, or trying to get attention.

Hosea 2:13 "And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, says the LORD [Yahweh]." (GMR)

Ears speak of receiving into your spirit the truth of the Lord. To hear with your ears in scripture means to have understanding. Luke speaks of the ability to understand here in:

Luke 9:44 "Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
To see blocked ears or ears that cannot hear, means that the person in question has no understanding of the truth. Often in scripture you will read how the Lord said ‘having ears, they did not hear’ speaking of the people’s inability to understand His instruction and parables. That exact meaning is clarified here in:

Acts 7:51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers [did], so [do] you." (GMR)

I have often interpreted dreams where people have found themselves in an earthquake. Often the interpretation has been that there is coming a shaking in their lives to remove those things that are not of the Lord. Often I have seen this occur when someone is about to enter into a new realm of ministry. In a positive context, an earthquake means that a shaking and a dramatic change for the good, is about to occur in the life of that person!

The verses below show this kind of shaking as Jesus died, signifying a close or destruction of the old:

Matthew 27:50 "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the spirit.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks rent;" (GMR)

This shaking occurred once again to signify something new:

Matthew 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
An earthquake can also speak of the destruction of the enemy. That he is attempting to destroy their lives and to remove their feet from under them. In such a case I would counsel that this person run to the solid rock which is Jesus Christ, to ensure that their footing remains sure, throughout this attack.

Psalms 82:4 "Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 "They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken." (NIV)

VISIONS

POSITIVE...
An earthquake in vision and in a prophetic dream speaks of the power of God. When I have seen an earthquake in vision, it has symbolized the might and power of God. It has symbolized the shaking that occurs as He works in the life of one to bring change. I have seen earthquakes in the context of revival, where the Lord has said that before He would pour out His spirit on a group, that first there are some things or people that will need to be ‘shaken’ out of their lives. This shaking brings freedom, as demonstrated in this passage:

Acts 16:26 "And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed." (GMR)

Also…

Isaiah 29:6 "You shall be visited of the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire." (GMR)

Haggai 2:6 "For thus says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts; Yet once, it [is] a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts." (GMR)

Isaiah 2:21 "To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD [Yahweh], and for the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake terribly the earth." (GMR)

In scripture, the East is often spoke of as the direction from which the Son of Man came. It speaks of the direction of the Lord and the direction of blessing. Here are some scriptures to consider:

Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines right into the west; so also will the coming of the Son of man be." (GMR) 

Matthew 2:9 "When they had heard the king, they departed; and the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was." (GMR) 

Jeremiah 31:40 "And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy to the LORD [Yahweh]; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
There was a negative element that also came from the East and that was a terrible wind that dried up all blessing and provision. While it was the direction of the Son of Man, it is also the direction from which a wind of destruction comes from. You would need to discern the spirit on the vision to clarify the interpretation, being positive or negative.

Jeremiah 18:17 "I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity." (GMR)

Fire in a dream can speak of a purging and a cleansing. It speaks of burning the old to make way for the new. Depending on the context of the dream, it could mean that the old or that the past is being burned, so that the new can come forth. This may also represent a death of a vision with regards to your ministry, personal death to the flesh with regards to your own spiritual condition or sacrifice with regards to the price of the calling on your life. I see fire as being positive more often than it being negative in a dream. Speaking of a cleansing and refining (See also: Altar and Death).

NEGATIVE...
Fire can also speak of destruction and of fear. If you have a fear of fire, then this would represent fear to you in an internal dream. If you had bad experiences with fire as a child, then fire would not mean a good thing to you. If you dreamt though that you overcame a fire in your dream, this would represent a healing from those past memories.

Fire has many interpretations. Some of the most common are: Anointing, Holy Spirit, purging, glory of God, death and change.

Fire is used to make a clay vessel set in its shape. It is also used to refine gold. Fire in visions is often positive and speaks of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a person or ministry. It speaks of being made pure, holy and purged of all dross and sin in our lives. Here is my favorite passage referring to our calling being refined as gold: 

1 Peter 1:7 "That the trial [dokimazo] of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried [dokimazo] with fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:" (GMR) 

Time and time again we will be called to stand in the fire so that we might be purified and made as gold for the Lord. Often the Lord has said to me personally, “Do you want all I have for you? Then stand in the fire, for as long as you stand in the fire, I will continue to use you, for your works and your flesh will bow to My spirit and to My will alone” It will cost you to stand in the fire. But it will also change you. Forever. 

I have also seen the Holy Spirit as a pillar of fire many times as I have been in prayer. You can find many references to the Lord as being fire in the Word, here are just a few: 

Deuteronomy 4:24 "For the LORD [Yahweh] your God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God." (GMR)

A good picture of the Holy Spirit:

Exodus 13:21 "And the LORD [Yahweh] went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:" (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
Fire in a negative sense speaks of destruction. The Word says that our tongues are set on fire by hell meaning that evil and negative words destroy. The scripture also refers to the fiery darts of the enemy. These bring pain, destruction and a curse into our lives. If you see this in a vision then you need to stand against those negative words and curses in the name of Jesus! (Recommended reading: 'Dealing with Curses' - a chapter from the The Way of Blessing book, by Les D. Crause) 

James 3:6 "And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell." (GMR) 

Ephesians 6:16 "Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one." (GMR)

DREAMS

A foundation is something that sets you in place. If you dream of the foundation of a old house you stayed in, in the past, it represents everything you were and everything that was built into you at that time. Perhaps you will dream of an old house where the foundation is still standing. It would mean that whatever was built into you that time still remains. You would need to discern if what was built into you back then was positive or negative! 

Hebrews 6:1 "Therefore having left behind the beginnings of the doctrine of Christ, let us move on to maturity; not laying the foundation over again of repentance from lifeless activities, and of faith toward God," (GMR)

You could dream of a church building or foundation. It would then represent your spiritual foundation. Those things that have been built into you spiritually through the years. Once again it could be positive or negative depending on the context of your dream. If the foundation or building is cracked, it could mean that there is a flaw in what has been built into you. 

1 Timothy 6:19 "Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal [zoe] life." (GMR)

Ephesians 2:19 "Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows into a holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom you also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit." (GMR)

If you dream of the foundation or building being destroyed, it could mean that the Lord is smashing all of the old templates that have been built into you over the years. A new building and foundation being erected could speak of something new that the Lord is going to build into you – spiritually speaking. Perhaps He is leading you to receive from a new ministry or to head out into something new, dreaming of a new building and foundation would confirm that it is indeed the Lord leading you in this direction.

1 Corinthians 3:12 "Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be revealed: for the day shall expose it, because it shall be revealed through fire; and the fire shall test [dokimazo] every man's work of what sort it is." (GMR)

VISIONS

In the Word, Christ is our foundation! If you see a new foundation being laid in a vision, this speaks of a new work beginning. It means that the Lord is about to begin building a new pattern or plan into the life, ministry or church you were praying for at the time. Keep in mind that you will always receive a vision according to what frame of spirit you were in at the time. This is covered extensively in The Way of Dreams and Visions book. Either sign up on the course for more teaching and instruction on this or get the book. 

I have often seen the Lord give someone a long staff in the spirit to break up a foundation. This is an apostolic function and I often see it when we are confirming an apostolic call on a person. In the old days they would use a rod to smash the foundation so that they might start again. If you see a similar vision, or external dream, then it speaks of smashing and removing the old incorrect pattern of the system, so that the new can be put in its place. 

A foundation refers to the foundation of God’s house:

Zechariah 8:9 "Thus says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts; Let your hands be strong, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built." (GMR) 

It also refers to what we build our lives upon:

Luke 6:48 "He is like a man which built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock." (GMR) 

Referring to those things that we establish for the Lord through ministry:

Romans 15:20 "Yes, I  have so strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation:" (GMR)

1 Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another is building on it. But let every man pay attention how he builds on it.
11 For no man can lay any other foundation except that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
A broken foundation or building speaks of something that was not properly built or something that has been broken down. If you get this kind of vision for a person or ministry, then it would mean that what they have built their spiritual life or ministry on is not solid. That it has flaws. I often see the status quo system like this. Having walls and a building that may look firm, but with a broken and weak foundation.

When someone has fed in things that were not the correct pattern or of God:

Luke 6:49 "But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house upon the earth; against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great." (GMR)  

Speaking of a foundation not built on the correct pattern, but built on hypocrisy and false pretense:

Ezekiel 13:14 "So will I break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered [morter], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation of it shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it: and you shall know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh]." (GMR) 

Speaking again of building something without the Lord. Be it a ministry, a church or even your personal spiritual life and calling:

Psalms 127:1 "Unless the LORD [Yahweh] builds the house, they labor in vain that build it: unless the LORD [Yahweh] keeps the city, the watchman wakes for nothing." (GMR)

Gold can have various meanings in a dream. Gold by nature is rare, costly and precious. It can refer to something beautiful, or it can speak of greed. If the gold is fake, then it could speak of deception and falsehood.

You could dream of being given a golden ring, this would have a good connotation, speaking of favor and authority. Gold is also tried in the fire and it could speak of having faced many trials and come forth from it as Gold. If the gold is tarnished or fake, it could mean that there are still issues in your life that the Lord needs to deal with so that you might be purified. (See ‘Fire’ for more on purification) 

Gold also speaks of blessing and so if you see this color in a dream it speaks of the blessing of the Lord and also the nature of the Lord. A golden car speaks of a ministry that will be blessed. Golden clothing could speak of being clothed in the anointing and in His glory.

VISIONS

POSITIVE...
Gold speaks of richness and of blessing. It is also the color that represents the kingship of the Lord. The tabernacle was overlaid in gold. It speaks of the anointing, the blessing of the Lord and God’s very nature. In the Old Testament you will see references to the Lord adorning His chosen one with gold and with precious stones. Gold was a symbol of beauty and of wealth. Solomon was surrounded by gold and much of Solomon’s temple was overlaid with gold. 

Gold represents the divine nature of God, it represents His blessing and also our faith, being as pure as Gold. Every time I see an object in the spirit that represents a ministry or a spiritual gift – it is gold. I have seen crowns, keys, harps, rods and many other golden objects – all representing something as being a gift from the Lord. I sometimes see a golden light shining through a new door someone is about to enter, spiritually speaking. I have seen golden oil to represent healing. I have also seen it many times when the Lord Jesus has emphasized His place as King of Kings. His crown will be gold, as is the throne He sits upon. 

Representing authority and favor:

Psalms 21:3 "For you go before him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head." (GMR) 

Speaking once again of royalty:

Psalms 45:13 "The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her clothing [is] of wrought gold." (GMR) 

Speaking of being purified and of being as gold in the fire, to deal with the flesh and bring about a resurrection into something greater in the Kingdom of God:

Malachi 3:3 "And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD [Yahweh] an offering in righteousness." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
If gold is tarnished, then it speaks of needing to be placed in the fire to get rid of the dross. In other words, there are issues and parts of your flesh that needs to be put in the fire and brought to repentance before the Lord can take you to the next level in your spiritual life.  

Gold can also speak of greed. You need to discern your vision to know if it represents something positive or negative. Idols of gold were used for worship. The Lord showed me such a golden calf in vision once. He told me that His people were compromising with the world and that by allowing the world into their worship, they were in fact worshipping it as an idol. The idol spoke of their own works and of the ways of the world:

Psalms 115:4 "Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands." (GMR) 

Referring to sin and greed:

James 5:3 "Your gold and silver is corroded; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as thought it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days." (GMR)

Green can speak of nourishment. Things that feed and edify you. It can also speak of peace and provision. It speaks of something that is new and birthed afresh. I have often seen a new plant coming forth out of the ground and it is green and fresh, when in personal ministry. When I have seen this I know that the Lord is saying that the person I am ministering to is about to grow and although they are just starting out, that something new is being birthed within them that is going to bear much fruit!

Green can also speak of provision of your needs, just like green speaks of food and nourishment, it can also speak of financial provision.

Speaking of nourishment:

Genesis 9:3 "Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for you; just as with the green herb I have given you all things." (GMR)

Speaking of Peace and provision:

Psalms 23:2 "He causes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me to a resting place by the water." (GMR)

Speaking of the favor of the Lord:

Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed [is] the man that trusts in the LORD [Yahweh], and whose hope the LORD [Yahweh] is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." (GMR)

Speaking of gifts:

Song of Solomon 2:13 "The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines [with] the tender grape give a [good] smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away." (GMR)

NEGATIVE...
Green can be negative in that it speaks often of immaturity. Green grass is often spoken of in scriptures as being weak and not having firm roots. Grass can be plucked up and destroyed by a strong wind. It fades away easily and so it speaks of those things that are not secure and wither away easily. In a natural sense green can also speak of greed (referring to money).

Some scriptures to meditate on - Speaking of weakness:

2 Kings 19:26 "Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn] blasted before it be grown up." (GMR)

Psalms 37:2 "For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb." (GMR)

Speaking of immaturity:

Job 15:32 "It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive." (GMR)
