What does the Bible say about dreams and visions?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible uses dreams and visions to convey God's revelations, often employing symbolic language as seen in Daniel's visions.

In the Bible, dreams and visions serve as vital means through which God communicates His plans and truths to His people. For instance, in the Book of Daniel, the titular character experiences a series of profound visions intended to unveil future events and divine truths. These visions are not mere fanciful imagery but carry historical significance and prophetic implications. They reflect a common phenomenon in Old Testament literature where God uses apocalyptic genres — filled with symbols and metaphors — to convey deeper spiritual realities. Unlike the subjective nature of dreams as we understand them today, biblical visions are grounded in God's sovereign purpose and offer insights into the unfolding of His plan, affirming that God is intimately involved in the affairs of history through His prophetic revelations.
