Dreams in the Bible

In Bible times, dreams weren't always just a weird jumble of random events to laugh at in the morning. The Bible, mainly the Old Testament, tells of several times when people had significant dreams or visions. These often gave warnings for what would happen if a certain sin continued or showed events of the near future. Joseph and David were especially known for their ability to interpret dreams. One interesting dream in the New Testament was more of a nightmare that Pilet's wife had because she knew that Jesus was innocent. Although the Bible is complete, meaning we don't need to learn things through dreams anymore, it is very interesting to read about the way God worked in these people's sleep.
