Dreams<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?\u201d(Numbers 12:6-8)<\/p>\n

Difference between dreams and visions<\/strong>
\nThe main difference between dreams and visions is that the person seeing visions is completely cognizant of their thoughts, while with dreams, although they may be predictive, the person is not awake. Another fundamental difference is when a prophet in the Bible has a vision or is given a message about things to come in the future, he knows that he is being shown the future. In a dream, the dreamer is not only seeing the future, he is experiencing these events as if they were real and present. They also differ in that in visions the prophet is being told what will occur while in a dream the dreamer is experiencing the future which is still indeterminate and open to change through the exercise of free will. Things are not set in stone. The Talmud teaches that without interpretation a dream is like \u201can unread letter.\u201d This means that the dreamer must act on his dream to make it a reality. Left to itself it will not necessarily occur. (aish.com)<\/p>\n
