  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 (Judg. 7), and Solomon (1 Kings 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 (Judg. 7:13), Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 2:1;
     4:10, 18), the wise men from the east (Matt. 2:12), and Pilate's
     wife (27:19).
     
       To Joseph "the Lord appeared in a dream," and gave him
     instructions regarding the infant Jesus (Matt. 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" (Acts
     16:9; see also 18:9; 27:23).
