Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli. And word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were infrequent. (NASB) 1 Samuel 3:1 |
What is worse, there are those today who pretend to intrepret dreams and claim God has spoken when in fact He has not. Listen to this passage,
| |
If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,' you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (NASB) Deuteronomy 13:1-3 |
It does not matter how godly someone may appear or how exciting his/her experience, the standard of truth is still God's Word. We need to be students of the Word of Truth so that we can identify false teaching.
Conclusion: We do not need dreams to know about God, about salvation, about Jesus or how we ought to live. Scripture contains everything we need to know God and how to live.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (NASB) 2 Timothy 3:16-17
. . . seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. (NASB) 2 Peter 1:3 |
