Dream:
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 (Jdg 7), and Solomon (1Ki 3:5). Other significant dreams are also recorded, such as those of Abimelech (Gen 20:3-7), Pharaoh's chief butler and baker (40:5), Pharaoh (41:1-8), the Midianites (Jdg 7:13), Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 2:1; 4:10,18), the wise men from the east (Mat 2:12), and Pilate's wife (27:19).
To Joseph "the Lord appeared in a dream," and gave him instructions regarding the infant Jesus (Mat 1:20; 2:12,13,19). In a vision of the night a "man of Macedonia" stood before Paul and said, "Come over into Macedonia and help us" (Act 16:9; see also Act 18:9; 27:23).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
