God has frequently made use of dreams in communicating his will to men. The most remarkable instances of this are recorded in the history of Jacob (Gen. 28:12; 31:10), Laban (31:24), Joseph (37:9-11), Gideon (Judg. 7), and Solomon (1 Kings 3:5). Other significant dreams are also recorded, such as those of [[Abimelech ]] (Gen. [[Genesis 20]]:3-7), Pharaoh's chief butler and baker ([[Genesis 40:5]]), [[Pharaoh ]] ([[Genesis 41]]:1-8), the Midianites (Judg. [[Judges 7:13]]), [[Nebuchadnezzar ]] (Dan. [[Daniel 2:1]]; [[Daniel 4]]:10, 18), the wise men from the east (Matt. [[Matthew 2:12]]), and Pilate's wife ([[Matthew 27:19]]).

[[God]] has frequently made use of dreams in communicating his will to men.
The most remarkable instances of this are recorded in the history of [[Jacob]] ([[Genesis 28:12]]; [[Genesis 31:10]]), [[Laban ([[Genesis 31:24]]), [[Joseph]] ([[Genesis 37]]:9-11), [[Gideon]] ([[Judges 7]]), and [[Solomon ]]([[1 Kings 3:5]]).
To [[Joseph (husband of Mary)]] "the Lord appeared in a dream," and gave him instructions regarding the infant [[Jesus ]] (Matt. [[Matthew 1:20]]; [[Matthew 2]]:12, 13, 19). In a vision of the night a "man of [[Macedonia]]" stood before [[apostle Paul|Paul ]] and said, "Come over into Macedonia and help us" ([[Acts 16:9]]; see also [[Acts 18:9]]; [[Acts 27:23]]). {{returnto}} [[Easton's Bible Dictionary]] | [[Dream]]
