Q: I have received a variety of dreams that indicate God may want me in missions. But I have no interest in missions.

Dreams, at best, should only be a confirmation of what God has already put in your heart. Dreams are too subjective to provide direction for your life by themselves. However, dreams might provide a further confirmation of His direction if they are coupled with:

a deep sense of compassion for the lost of the world (or of a particular group)

a physical, emotional and spiritual stamina, and

a confirmation by a group of friends

For example, after the Apostle Paul had missionary experience he seemed to make decisions on his own. But when he was just starting out (Acts 13), Paul sought the counsel and prayer and fasting of the church in Antioch. This is not to say that as you are preparing to go that there might not be some strong emotional ups and downs. There will be. But they will be controlled by a deep surging knowledge and sense in your spirit that this is what God wants you to do.

A dream is not a reliable basis for this decision. Try hosting and talking to missionaries and mission representatives. Find out what they actually do and how they think their organization could use you. Go on a short-term trip to a place and with a purpose that interests you. "Missions" may not be your thing, but if you are a committed Christian with a vocational or professional skill that can be used by a mission organization, and if you wouldn't mind living in another county for a while, you may find yourself becoming a missionary. If you seek God's will in this, He will put you into a job you are designed to do--but in His timing. If you go, it will be because you want to go.
