But God came to Abimelech in a
dream by night and said to him,
“Behold, you are a dead man
because of the woman whom you have
taken, for she is a man's wife.”
(Genesis 20:3)
ESV
And he dreamed, and behold, there
was a ladder set up on the earth,
and the top of it reached to
heaven. And behold, the angels of
God were ascending and descending
on it!
(Genesis 28:12)

But God came to Laban the Aramean
in a dream by night and said to

Now Joseph had a dream, and when
he told it to his brothers they
hated him even more. He said to
them, “Hear this dream that I have
dreamed: Behold, we were binding
sheaves in the field, and behold,
my sheaf arose and stood upright.
And behold, your sheaves gathered
around it and bowed down to my
sheaf.” His brothers said to him,
“Are you indeed to reign over us?
Or are you indeed to rule over
us?” So they hated him even more
for his dreams and for his words.
Then he dreamed another dream and
told it to his brothers and said,
“Behold, I have dreamed another
dream. Behold, the sun, the moon,
and eleven stars were bowing down
to me.” ...
(Genesis 37:5-10)
ESV
They said to him, “We have had
dreams, and there is no one to
interpret them.” And Joseph said
to them, “Do not interpretations
belong to God? Please tell them to
me.” So the chief cupbearer told
his dream to Joseph and said to
him, “In my dream there was a vine
before me, and on the vine there
were three branches. As soon as it
budded, its blossoms shot forth,
and the clusters ripened into
grapes. Pharaoh's cup was in my
hand, and I took the grapes and
pressed them into Pharaoh's cup
and placed the cup in Pharaoh's
hand.” Then Joseph said to him,
“This is its interpretation: the
three branches are three days. ...
(Genesis 40:8-23)
ESV
After two whole years, Pharaoh
dreamed that he was standing by
the Nile, and behold, there came
up out of the Nile seven cows
attractive and plump, and they fed
in the reed grass. And behold,
seven other cows, ugly and thin,
came up out of the Nile after
them, and stood by the other cows
on the bank of the Nile. And the
ugly, thin cows ate up the seven
attractive, plump cows. And
Pharaoh awoke. And he fell asleep
and dreamed a second time. And
behold, seven ears of grain, plump
and good, were growing on one
stalk. ...
(Genesis 41:1-36)
ESV
When Gideon came, behold, a man
was telling a dream to his
comrade. And he said, “Behold, I
dreamed a dream, and behold, a
cake of barley bread tumbled into
the camp of Midian and came to the
tent and struck it so that it fell
and turned it upside down, so that
the tent lay flat.”
(Judges 7:13)
ESV
He will fly away like a dream and
not be found; he will be chased
away like a vision of the night.
(Job 20:8)
ESV
For God speaks in one way, and in
two, though man does not perceive
it. In a dream, in a vision of the
night, when deep sleep falls on
men, while they slumber on their
beds, then he opens the ears of
men and terrifies them with
warnings, that he may turn man
aside from his deed and conceal
pride from a man; he keeps back
his soul from the pit, his life
from perishing by the sword.
(Job 33:14-18)
ESV
I bless the Lord who gives me
counsel; in the night also my
heart instructs me.
(Psalm 16:7)
ESV
For a dream comes with much
business, and a fool's voice with
many words.
(Ecclesiastes 5:3)
ESV
For when dreams increase and words
grow many, there is vanity; but
God is the one you must fear.
(Ecclesiastes 5:7)
ESV
As for these four youths, God gave
them learning and skill in all
literature and wisdom, and Daniel
had understanding in all visions
and dreams.
(Daniel 1:17)
ESV
Then the Chaldeans said to the
king in Aramaic, “O king, live
forever! Tell your servants the
dream, and we will show the
interpretation.”
(Daniel 2:4)
ESV
But there is a God in heaven who
reveals mysteries, and he has made
known to King Nebuchadnezzar what
will be in the latter days. Your
dream and the visions of your head
as you lay in bed are these: To
you, O king, as you lay in bed
came thoughts of what would be
after this, and he who reveals
mysteries made known to you what
is to be. But as for me, this
mystery has been revealed to me,
not because of any wisdom that I
have more than all the living, but
in order that the interpretation
may be made known to the king, and
that you may know the thoughts of
your mind.
(Daniel 2:28-30)
ESV
Because an excellent spirit,
knowledge, and understanding to
interpret dreams, explain riddles,
and solve problems were found in
this Daniel, whom the king named
Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be
called, and he will show the
interpretation.
(Daniel 5;12)
ESV
In the first year of Belshazzar
king of Babylon, Daniel saw a
dream and visions of his head as
he lay in his bed. Then he wrote
down the dream and told the sum of
the matter. Daniel declared, “I
saw in my vision by night, and
behold, the four winds of heaven
were stirring up the great sea.
And four great beasts came up out
of the sea, different from one
another. The first was like a lion
and had eagles' wings. Then as I
looked its wings were plucked off,
and it was lifted up from the
ground and made to stand on two
feet like a man, and the mind of a
man was given to it. And behold,
another beast, a second one, like
a bear. It was raised up on one
side. It had three ribs in its
mouth between its teeth; and it
was told, ‘Arise, devour much
flesh.’ ...
(Daniel 7:1-28)
ESV
And it shall come to pass
afterward, that I will pour out my
Spirit on all flesh; your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see
visions.
(Joel 2:28)
ESV
But as he considered these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream,
saying, “Joseph, son of David, do
not fear to take Mary as your
wife, for that which is conceived
in her is from the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 1:20)
ESV
But when Herod died, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeared in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
“Rise, take the child and his
mother and go to the land of
Israel, for those who sought the
child's life are dead.” And he
rose and took the child and his
mother and went to the land of
Israel. But when he heard that
Archelaus was reigning over Judea
in place of his father Herod, he
was afraid to go there, and being
warned in a dream he withdrew to
the district of Galilee.
(Matthew 2:19-22)
