God reveal his secret and will to people through dreams. It can be evidenced by many real encounters from people in Bible and people living nowadays. Sometimes people may not fully understand what indeed the God wants to tell them. This can always be helped by understanding more of the dreams that were already described in the Bible. Let us use the book of Genesis to be our start point to understand more about dreams.

As recorded in Gen 15:12, Abram had a dream of the Lord who had a promise to his offspring. God said to Abram: \”Truly, your seed will be living in a land which is not theirs, as servants to a people who will be cruel to them for four hundred years.\” That was later fulfilled that the Egyptians were cruel to the Israel people until the God saved them out.

Gen 20:3, Abraham this time was on the journey to the south country and he stayed in Gerar for some times. Sarah, Abraham\’s wife was taken to the Abimelech king as Abraham said Sarah was his sister. In the night, Abimelech heard that God said he was a dead man because he took other man\’s wife. Abimelech was frightened and let Sarah go back to Abraham when he woke up next morning. Abraham prayed for Abimelech and his wife and they bore their children.

Gen 28:10, Jacob was in the way to Haran and he slept by making the stones as his pillow. He saw a ladder in his dream, which reached the heavens at its top. He heard God said to him that his seed should be as the dust of the earth. In addition, his seed should spread to the west, east, north and south. God told him that he is with him. Jacob then woke up and said surely the lord was in this place.

In Gen 31:10 Jacob had married Laban\’s daughter Rachel. The countenance of Laban was not toward him as before. The Lord said to Jacob to return to the land of his fathers. Jacob later saw in a dream ringstreaked, speckled and grisled cattle. An angle of God spoke to him that he had seen what Laban had done to Jacob. Later Jacob and his wives and sons left Laban as told by the angle of God.

Gen 31:24, On the third day of Jacob\’s flight, Laban had the news. Taking the men of his family with him, Laban went after Jacob for seven days. At the night in the mount Gilead, God came to Laban in a dream, and said to him: \”Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.\”

Dream is certainly God\’s way of communication. There are more scriptures in Genesis talking about dreams especially those for Joseph. When you read through the scriptures about dreams, do believe in God would like to talk to you through dreams.
