What does Tribe teach about dream interpretation?

At Tribe, the teaching on dream interpretation begins with a warning rather than an endorsement. Brian taught from Zechariah 10:1-2, where the promise of God's abundance sits right next to a list of counterfeits that pull people away from asking God directly. Dream interpretation appears on that list, and Brian treated it as a real concern, not a relic from another era.

Brian drew a careful line, though. The warning in Zechariah is not a blanket rejection of the legitimate New Testament gift of prophetic ministry, which can include dreams from God. The difference, he said, is in how that gift operates when it is genuine. A person who is truly seasoned in it will be imprecise, will openly acknowledge they are not perfect, and will consistently point people back to the Lord rather than to themselves. Anything that positions itself as an authoritative outside voice you depend on, rather than a prompt toward your own relationship with God, belongs on the wrong side of that line.

Brian also extended the warning to drug use, noting that altered states open doors the user did not intend to open, and that the enemy reserves the right to use that access at a time of his choosing rather than the user's. The same logic applies across the category: an experience feeling positive or safe does not mean the transaction was safe. The congregation prayed together for those who wanted to receive dreams from God through legitimate means, and the overall direction of the teaching was toward asking God directly, since His answer, Brian said, is far more generous than anything we thought to request.
