Securing our confidence and boldness for the future is so significant to the Almighty that he allowed men to enter into the dream dimension and receive vital knowledge for themselves, for their leaders, or for the nations in which they were given authority. A few examples of significant dreams that altered situations, set destinies, or brought prophetic knowledge are:
God warned king Abimelech with the threat of death if he didn't return Sarah to Abraham (Gen. 20:6-7).
God confirmed in a dream for Jacob to leave Laban, taking his wives and sons to Canaan (Gen. 31).
God prepared Joseph's future by giving him two prophetic dreams when he was a teenager (Gen. 37).
God allowed Joseph to interpret the dreams of the butler and the baker while in prison (Gen. 40).
Joseph interpreted both dreams of Pharaoh and prepared for a seven year famine (Gen. 41).
It was the "barley cake dream" that gave Gideon confidence to fight the Midianites (Judges 7).
God appeared to Solomon in a dream, granting his request for the gift of wisdom (I Kings 3).
Daniel was the only man in Babylon capable of interpreting the dream of the metallic image (Dan. 2).
Daniel later interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's "tree dream," predicting the downfall of the king (Dan. 4).
Daniel experienced a major prophetic dream of world empires symbolized by wild beasts (Dan. 7).
