For example, I dreamt of a witch cursing my car. Every time I drove, things would block my sight and my windshield. This dream showed the enemy sending things to cause me to be spiritually blind. Now that my dream made me aware, I know that the enemy is bringing things to stop me from focusing and seeing clearly. To protect myself, I can then pursue God and mentorship to ensure I don’t crash due to the problems in my life.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)

God is allowing you to see the enemies’ plan in dreams about witches. The witches goals is to distract you from focusing on God, your purpose, loving others, and bringing Heaven to earth.
This dream is a reminder that you’re so powerful that the enemy had to send his minions to slow you down. Remember, don’t stop now. Be encouraged that your prayers and kingdom work is making a difference. Overall, you’re doing a good job, so keep being righteous.

"For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.” (1 Samuel 15:23)

Your dream about a witch might be an encouragement to remove issues that seek to defile you — addictions, un-forgiveness, arguments, rebellion, anger, fear. manipulation, pride, lust, control, impatience, and distrusting God. Fortunately, God has given you authority to trample over every evil spirit and to escape generational curses.
If you are looking for witches in your dream, it shows a level of helplessness and lack of faith. Such dreams are a reminder to submit your heart to God. Allow him to heal you, so you can trust him in hard times instead of looking to unhealthy sources and adopting unhealthy behaviors to cope.

In contrast, dreaming of someone you know doing witchcraft can highlight their behavior. The dream may also highlight your thoughts about them. Such dreams are a prompt to pray for them or fix the way you view others.
Overall, God wants to make you and anyone you dream about more righteous. Therefore, speak to a counselor, pastor, or to empowerment coach to explore the root cause of your dreams.
