Bible Verses About Dreams

At the end of two years, Pharaoh had a dream: he was standing beside the Nile River;

and there came up out of the river seven cows, sleek and fat; and they began feeding in swamp grass.

After them, there came up out of the river seven more cows, miserable-looking and lean; and they stood by the other cows at the edge of the river.

Then the miserable-looking and lean cows ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. At this point Pharaoh woke up.

But he went to sleep again and dreamt a second time: seven full, ripe ears of grain grew out of a single stalk.

After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up.

And the thin ears swallowed up the seven full, ripe ears. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized it had been a dream.

"If a prophet or someone who gets messages while dreaming arises among you and he gives you a sign or wonder,

and the sign or wonder comes about as he predicted when he said, 'Let's follow other gods, which you have not known; and let us serve them,'

you are not to listen to what that prophet or dreamer says. For ADONAI your God is testing you, in order to find out whether you really do love ADONAI your God with all your heart and being.

Gid'on got there just as a man was telling a comrade about a dream he had had: "I just now dreamt that a loaf of barley bread fell into the camp of Midyan, came to the tent and struck it so hard that it overturned the tent and knocked it flat."

His comrade answered, "This can only be the sword of Gid'on son of Yo'ash, a man of Isra'el. God has given Midyan and all its army into his hands."

When Gid'on heard the dream and its interpretation, he fell on his knees in worship. Then he returned to the camp of Isra'el and said, "Get up! because ADONAI has handed Midyan's army over to you."

At Giv'on ADONAI appeared to Shlomo in a dream at night; God said, "Tell me what I should give you."

Shlomo said, "You showed your servant David my father much grace, as he lived before you honestly and righteously, having an upright heart with you. You preserved this great grace for him by giving him a son to sit on his throne, as is the case today.

So now, ADONAI my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; but I am a mere child - I don't know how to lead!

Moreover your servant is among your people, whom you chose, a great people so numerous that they cannot be counted.

Therefore, give your servant an understanding heart able to administer justice to your people, so that I can discern between good and bad - for who is equal to judging this great people of yours?"

What Shlomo had said in making this request pleased Adonai.

God said to him, "Because you have made this request instead of asking long life or riches for yourself, or your enemies' death, but rather asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

I am doing what you requested. I am giving you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you, nor will there ever again be anyone like you.

I am also giving you what you didn't ask for, riches and honor greater than that of any other king throughout your life.

More than that, if you will live according to my ways, obeying my laws and mitzvot like your father David, I will give you a long life."

Shlomo awoke and found it had been a dream. But he went to Yerushalayim, stood before the ark for the covenant of ADONAI and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings. He also made a feast for all his servants.

that the triumph of the wicked is always short-lived, and the joy of the ungodly is gone in a moment?
