Apostles in the bible facts about dreams

Chantelle S said:

I really would like some advice on what you guys think my recent dream meant. I dreamt that I was catching a charter bus somewhere (not sure where) and Paul was the bus driver. When I walked on the bus and paid my fare I didn't recognize him (I have heard of him but have never really known who he was or his importance).

Then when I turned my head I saw a bright light with a figure (it had to be Jesus) he knelt in front of me and showed me his head carrying his thorned crown.

How did God use dreams and visions in the Bible?

Answer

God used dreams and visions (visions are “waking dreams”; see Numbers ) several times in the Bible to communicate with people.

An absence of visions was due at times to a dearth of prophets (1 Samuel ) and other times due to the disobedience of God’s people (1 Samuel ).

Old Testament Dreams and Visions
God used visions in the Old Testament to reveal His plan, to further His plan, and to put His people in places of influence.

Abraham(Genesis ): God used a vision to restate the Abrahamic Covenant, reminding Abram that he would have a son and be the father of many nations.

Abimelech(Genesis ): Abraham’s wife, Sarah, was beautiful—so beautiful that when Abraham came into a new area he occasionally feared that the local ruler would kill him and take Sarah for himself. Abraham told Abimelech king of Gerar that Sarah was his sister (she was his hal
