Gall
Acts 8:23
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Deuteronomy 32:32
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.
Psalm 69:21
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Jeremiah 8:14
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
Fat speaks of people who energize themselves and who enjoy blessings which do not come from God resulting in them rejecting God because of that. This speaks of the sin of rejecting God for earthly and fleshly gain. The liver breaks down old and damaged blood cells and removes it from the good and healthy blood cells.
The liver, however, needs bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver, which is stored in the gallbladder to break down excessive fat in the blood. This is purifying the blood which represents the removal of sins in our lives. See the meaning of “Liver” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Gall in dreams and visions, therefore, symbolizes a bitterness in our hearts toward people because of what they have done to us or because of what they said to us. The Scriptures above show that bitterness was caused by people or even by God because people do not like whatever they received from people or from God.
See “Bitter” and see “Sweet” and “Gallbladder” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Gallbladder
The liver breaks down old and damaged blood cells and removes it from the good and healthy blood cells. When it comes to fat, the liver needs bile, a yellow-brown digestive enzyme produced by the liver, which is stored in the gallbladder to break down excessive fat in the blood. This is purifying the blood which represents the removal of sins in our lives. See the meaning of “Liver” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Gall in dreams and visions, therefore, symbolizes a bitterness in our hearts toward people because of what they have done to us or because of what they said to us. The Scriptures above show that the bitterness was caused by people or even by God.
The condition of the gallbladder in dreams and visions, therefore, symbolizes our ability or inability to pursue holiness in terms of us rejecting God for earthly financial gain and prosperity instead of relying on him for it. People like this become very bitter and unforgiving when it comes to them being hurt by the actions and words of other people in this regard. It speaks of them not being able to achieve prosperity because of the actions of other people and even of God.
See “Bitter” and see “Sweet” and “Gall” and “Fat” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Games (Sport/Playing)
2 Timothy 2:23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
The games that people play are very important in dreams and visions. Games often speak of a challenge or a battle between two people or groups of people. It speaks of reasoning or debating or arguing over spiritual matters or even non-spiritual matters. Just as the purpose of the natural game is to win the match or the game, so in dreams winning the argument is also important. We do want to teach people the word of God. It is all about convincing other people or another person of a viewpoint. There is nothing wrong with convincing others of a specific viewpoint. The problem is doing so with the wrong attitude of utilizing the wrong method.
Playing games in dreams represent confrontation. With some games, the confrontation between two people or two groups of people is mild, like in golf, and with other games, the confrontation is aggressive and vicious like in rugby or boxing.
Different games reveal the different methods people utilize or the different attitudes that people display when they are getting involved in an argument, a debate or when reasoning about spiritual matters and also non-spiritual matters. It tells us what attitudes people have or should have regarding this aspect of our faith-walk in Christ.
Obviously, balls and other sports equipment play an important part in dreams. These dreams reveal the different methods or attitudes of dealing with people in terms of Biblical teachings and doctrines, like boxing or rugby while other dreams reveal better alternative methods like golf. Make no mistake, sometimes God wants us to be aggressive like in a boxing match or a rugby match. Sometimes He wants us to be passive like in a game of golf. Sometimes He wants us to be silent.
Games also symbolize the way that people act to achieve certain spiritual blessings and breakthroughs. Life is not easy and sometimes we need to act in ways symbolized in games and in sports to achieve spiritual breakthroughs, victory, and blessings.
Gang
A gang symbolizes demonic powers. Just as violent gang members do not care about people or about righteousness or morality or the killing of people standing in their way or killing people for no reason at all, so are the evil people and the evil spirits that are symbolized by a gang in dreams. They are dangerous and ruthless.
We deal with these people and these spirits the way I explained in the part about snakes (See “Snakes”). You should not fear when you receive a warning from God about this type of threat in your life. It usually means you must praise God whilst resting in his love. Our most effective spiritual warfare strategy is to trust and not to doubt in the protection, the provision and the sustaining power of God. Evil powers cannot harm you at all in any way except when you get involved in sin and in doubt. Please read my post, “Most Effective Spiritual Warfare Strategy Ever!” It will set you free and cause you to move on a permanent path of victory.

Garden
Song of Solomon 6:2-3
2 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3 I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Genesis 2:8-10
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
A garden symbolizes our love relationship with God or with Jesus Christ or in marriage or with other people. It is a symbol of growth and fertility in terms of personal relationships. A garden is filled with flowers, grass and trees and scrubs. The flowers symbolize praise, honor, and respect for each other. The trees symbolize people fellowshipping together. The shrubs symbolize the attitudes that we display toward each other. The grass symbolizes prosperity and peace in our relationships. There is usually a wonderful smell hanging around in parts of the garden. This smell is the adoration, the thankfulness and the joy that we feel for and because of each other.
We all know of the love relationship and interaction depicted (in a garden) in the Song of Solomon, which is a shadow or a type of the love relationship between Christ and the church. A garden should be beautiful and well maintained to be enjoyed and to be a feast for the eyes. In dreams, we need to look at the condition of the garden to understand the meanings of the different symbols.
Relationships are very important to God. For this reason, we often dream of garden tools which are spiritual tools that we can use to maintain our relationships with God and with other people. See “Garden (Tools)”
Garden (Fork)
A garden fork symbolizes the preparation of people’s hearts to receive the word of God (seed) and to accept a love relationship with Christ Jesus and with God our Father. A garden fork speaks of an initial ice-breaking ministry to prepare people’s hearts for the gospel. We need the word of God (gospel of Jesus Christ) to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior but also as our heavenly Bridegroom. When we receive Jesus Christ in our hearts a wonderful love relationship with Him comes into existence.
See “Garden” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Garden (Neglected)
A neglected garden speaks of a relationship with God or with Jesus Christ or with other people which is neglected. A garden is neglected when it needs attention and care. When the grass is not mowed regularly and if the shrubs are not trimmed, it speaks of a “do not care” attitude in a love relationship.
See “Garden” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Garden (Rake)
When we gather fallen leaves and dry pieces of grass we are rounding off the gardening task. Similarly, when we rake the soil into patterns or stashing it up near the base of a plant we are rounding off the garden task. This speaks of a gentle ministry that removes the last bits of untidiness and it brings mutual respect and order into a relationship.
See “Garden” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Garden (Tools)
Song of Solomon 4:16
Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
We use garden tools to maintain and to cultivate gardens. In dreams and visions, it speaks of the use of spiritual tools to maintain spiritual gardens which is the love relationships between us and God or us and other people.
The different tools symbolize different spiritual tools that we have to utilize to maintain our spiritual gardens (love relationships with God or other people). Take note that when we see a garden tool in a dream, at places that do not appear to be a garden, the connection of garden tools to a garden should not be forgotten. These tools primary function is to prepare the spiritual heart of people for a love relationship with God or other people even if it does not appear that way in a dream. The tool in itself is always a direct connection to our love relationship with Christ, even though we do not see the actual garden in the dream.
See “Garden” and “Garden (Spade)” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Garden (Wheelbarrows)
Galatians 6:2
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
A wheelbarrow is utilized to remove weeds and other garden waste. This speaks of ministries like marriage counselors, who help people with broken relationships.
A wheelbarrow also speaks of a ministry of “helps”. People bear and share each others’ burdens as fellowmen in the kingdom of God.
Garment

Gate
Mathew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Psalm 24:7
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Psalm 100:4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Psalm 107:16
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Genesis 22:17
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.
A gate in dreams and visions symbolizes access, entrance, power, and authority. In this sense, (power and authority) a gate speaks of the area of a domain which is fenced in and therefore protected and the only way onto that property is through the gate. Some gates are very strong and cannot be broken down (the gate to heaven or to the kingdom of God). The condition (damaged, strong, small, weak, etc.) and color of gates in the dream or vision, are very important. Jesus gave us as a possession the gates of our enemies (satan) which means that we have power over evil. Evil must submit to us because of this.
Giraffe
A giraffe in dreams and visions symbolizes pride and overly developed self-esteem in spiritual or other matters. The emphasis is on the “high head” which indicates that it is pride and high self-esteem based on intellectual abilities.
See “Animals” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Girdle (Belt)
Job 30:11
Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
Isaiah 45:5
I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isaiah 22:21
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Psalm 18:39
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Psalm 65:6
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power.
A girdle in dreams and visions symbolizes strength because it is used to fasten or tie a person’s trousers. Trousers speak of the power and strength of a person in terms of being spiritually prepared for ministry or for life. Human beings stand with their legs on their feet, which speaks of power. See “Trousers” and “Legs” for a better understanding of this symbol.
All these symbols speak of spiritual power: The legs to stand, the type and color of trousers to reveal more information about the specific person’s spiritual power and the type and color of the girdle which is used to keep the trousers in place. A girdle symbolizes the spiritual strength that keeps the person in power and which prevents him from losing his power. The girdle keeps the trouser in place.
See “Eyes” and “Eyes (Glasses)” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Gloves
We use gloves to protect our hands. It prevents our hands from getting dirty or from getting damaged. Getting damaged speaks of spiritual or financial harm. Getting dirty speaks of getting involved in sin and other activities that is harmful to our souls and our bodies. For these reasons, a glove in dreams and visions speaks of the need for adequate precaution and preparation in a particular situation. It speaks of preparation and precaution to handle spiritual matters and/or financial issues or other issues successfully.
See “Clothing” and “Gloves (Fingerless)” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Goat
Matthew 25:32-33
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Leviticus 16:21
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness…
A goat in dreams symbolizes a person who is stubborn or undisciplined or disobedient. It also speaks of a person who is guilty of stubborn reasoning. They usually follow their own ways and they refuse to be led or to follow. It speaks of stiff-necked people who are untrained, untamed, undisciplined and stubborn.
A goat is the opposite of a sheep who willingly and obediently follows. A sheep knows and hears the shepherd’s voice. A goat does not. A stubborn and a disobedient person does not listen to the Lord and they are open to the influences of evil spirits.
See “Animals” and “Goat (Black)” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Gog/Magog
Revelation 20:7-8
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Gog and Magog in dreams and visions speak of godless masses of wicked people.
Gold
Revelation 14:14
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
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 unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
1 Peter 1:17
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.
Usually gold needs to be refined and purified by fire before it’s true value is obtained. Once it is purified it becomes one of the most valuable and sought after precious metals you can find. For this reason, gold symbolizes pure holiness and purified steadfast faith. Just as with gold, true holiness and true faith also need to be purified and refined by fire. Faith needs to be tested by fire. Pure gold symbolizes pure or matured faith and pure or matured holiness.
Golf
Golf symbolizes well-prepared reasoning with long and relaxed arguments often based on personal experience. It is all about the ability of a well-experienced golfer who walked the golf course many times before. Such a person rely on incidents in the past and his knowledge of the golf course. He knows how to execute difficult shots successfully. A golfer relies on his own experience in a very positive way.
In another sense, golf is a God-given way of reasoning about spiritual matters successfully, without causing division, conflict, and arguments in the body of Christ. What we see in a golf tournament is that everybody is relaxed. There is most of the time a spirit of good sportsmanship and a relaxed and a good and matured atmosphere. Although golfers are competing against each other it is done in a very mature way. Each player gives the other player all the time he needs to make his stroke (make his argument) without chipping in or overpowering each other with aggressive statements or counter-arguments. Everybody gets his turn for an argument or presenting his views. Like in golf, at the end of the match, nobody puts any pressure on anybody else to accept his point of view. Everybody rather heads for the clubhouse for a drink to cool down, many times not even discussing the game they just played. This is truly a very good way to reason about spiritual matters. There is really no pressure on anybody to accept each other’s views on spiritual matters or to shoot down each other’s views on spiritual matters.
Symbols like broken golf sticks speak of a person not willing to participate in such a long debate. A difficult stroke successfully executed speak of a difficult debate that achieved the necessary results. Remember that even golf is about winning. Even spiritual “golfers” want to convince other people of a certain point of view but golfers just do not pressure anybody to accept their views. We should all be spiritual golfers when it comes to this aspect of our faith-walk in Christ.
I once saw, in a vision, the word “Broccoli” written on the side of a golf bag in green letters. This is all I saw and the meaning is quite simple. Broccoli speaks of good spiritual food full of wonderful nutrients. If that divine food (the word of God) is conveyed in an acceptable way like golfers do symbolized by the golf bag, it leads to spiritual blessings as symbolized by green letters.
See “Games (Sport/Playing)” to understand the reason why we dream of this symbol.
Gorilla
A gorilla symbolizes a person who is directly and openly rebellious toward God, toward the church, spiritual matters and other people in a business or work situation. Such people do not hide their motivations or actions. They are the exact opposite of sharks (hidden) in this regard. Such a person is openly and blatantly rebellious in their actions an outright dangerous.
See “Animals” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Grain (Wheat)
Exodus 34:22
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
Deuteronomy 8:8
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey.
Matthew 9:37
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.
When we dream of grain or wheat it speaks of the word of God being preached and proclaimed (sowed). When we sow the word of God we can expect God’s provision because we sowed. In this sense, we are like farmers. We reap what we sow just like a farmer. For this reason, we can always expect spiritual blessings when we are preaching and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. Spiritual blessings include the harvesting of souls but also other spiritual blessings, breakthroughs, and spiritual sustenance and spiritual and physical maintenance when it comes to our health, our relationships with God and other people and in our faith-walk in Christ.
This is also true when it comes to finances. When we sow finances we can expect a harvest of financial blessings. We, however, need to put our faith actively in motion to harvest our blessings. Harvesting is the most labor-intensive activity during the growing season. Without applying faith our crop will remain on the cornfield.
Grain (Wheat crop ready for harvesting)
A wheat crop ready for harvesting speaks of the endurance of faith in the word of God. Our faithful endurance has produced a whole crop ready to be harvested. However, take note that some people do not really harvest their crop. We should always push through and gather in our crop that we worked so hard for. This sometimes speaks of people sowing but not really expecting to receive a harvest. To harvest requires active faith to gather it in. For this reason, dreaming of a wheat crop indicates that spiritual or financial reward is coming or is already there to be harvested.
See “Grain (Wheat)”
Grapes
Numbers 13:23-24
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Job 15:32
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
Grapes symbolizes the goodness of God. It is all about his wonderful blessings, spiritually and financially. When we dream of grapes it speaks of God’s promises, grace, and goodness. The land Canaan with all its blessings was promised by God and it was found to be good. The grapes were particularly huge.
See “Grapes (Cluster)”
Grapes (Green)
Green grapes indicate that there will be a waiting period before harvesting. It speaks of a waiting process that is required before financial or spiritual blessings are received.
See “Grapes”
Grapes (Ripe)
Ripe grapes symbolize the fulfillment of the promises of God. It means that harvesting is imminent.
See “Grapes” and “Grapes (Unripe and falling off)” for a better understanding of this symbol.
Grape-juice
Grape-juice indicates the goodness of God or the grace of God or the promises of God.
See “Grapes”
Grass (Green)
Grass symbolizes short-term flourishing (financially and/or spiritually) because it withers away quite easily when it is intensely warm or cold. For this reason, grass speaks of seasonal prosperity and increase. It speaks of the financial blessings of God.
Green grass also speaks of the multiplication of the righteous. In this sense, it is an indication that people will be added to a group or church or congregation or even a non-spiritual body.
See “Grass (Withered)”
Grasshopper
Judges 6:5
For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
Judges 7:12
And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
Numbers 13:33
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Grasshoppers in dreams and visions speak of multitudes of people.
In another sense, it speaks of people being small in the eyes of other people.
Although grasshoppers are not regarded as something that destroys the blessings of believers like locusts they do have the potential to become locusts. At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change color and behavior and form swarms. Under these circumstances, they are known as locusts.
See “Locust”
Greasy objects
Greasy objects, like tools made of rusty greasy iron, symbolizes sin and evil. It speaks of the spirit of man being contaminated with “impurities” and “dirt” caused by sin and evil deeds.
Green
See “Colors in dreams and visions (Green)”
Gray
See “Colors in dreams and visions (Gray)”
Guards (Security or gate)
Gate guards or security guards or police officers symbolize watchfulness and prayer. We need to be watchful and we need to pray to protect our faith, the church, and our lives. We always need to keep the enemy outside our gates (border posts) and off our properties (outside our borders).
