The Spiritual Life with Fr. James Martin, S.J. · How Jesuit spirituality changed Andrew Garfield’s life · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

You know, maybe not what's the meaning and what's God's message, but what occurs to you?

And to try to unpack it and say, might God be inviting me to look at things in a new way through this dream.

So it's kind of holding them lightly.

I mean, the kind of dream that Andrew had, for me, if he were coming to me in direction, I would say that seems to be an authentic dream where God is inviting you to see things, inviting you to see your mom, you know, at peace and singing her song.

It's such a great, you know, image.

So that sounds authentic.

So you have to kind of discern, you have to test it out.

But I think the

the more common thing is for people to say, No, that's impossible.

God couldn't possibly speak through dreams.

That's superstitious but no, I think from time to time God does.

And, you know, inasmuch as we say God can work through our imagination, why couldn't God work through dreams?

And again, you know, just turn to the Bible and

You know ask ask Saint Joseph, you know.

Totally.

I'm glad you said that.

One of my Jesuit brothers often says, not every leaf that falls in front of you on the sidewalk is a big message from God.

Right.

So but you know, some things in nature are kind of you know, ways that God has of communicating.
