Although God speaks again and again, no one pays attention to what he says.

He makes them listen to what he says, and they are frightened at his warnings.

One night God appeared to him in a dream and said, "You are going to die, because you have taken this woman; she is already married."

He dreamed that he saw a stairway reaching from earth to heaven, with angels going up and coming down on it.

In a dream that night God came to Laban and said to him, "Be careful not to threaten Jacob in any way."

God spoke to him in a vision at night and called, "Jacob, Jacob!" "Yes, here I am," he answered.

and the LORD said, "Now hear what I have to say! When there are prophets among you, I reveal myself to them in visions and speak to them in dreams.

But please spend the night, as the others did, so that I may learn whether or not the LORD has something else to tell me."

That night God came to Balaam and said, "If these men have come to ask you to go with them, get ready and go, but do only what I tell you."

Then that same night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision, and he praised the God of heaven:

But there is a God in heaven, who reveals mysteries. He has informed Your Majesty what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you the dream, the vision you had while you were asleep.

"While Your Majesty was sleeping, you dreamed about the future; and God, who reveals mysteries, showed you what is going to happen.

But I had a frightening dream and saw terrifying visions while I was asleep.

Then the LORD God made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh.

When the sun was going down, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and fear and terror came over him.

While he was talking, I fell to the ground unconscious. But he took hold of me, raised me to my feet,

When I heard his voice, I fell to the ground unconscious and lay there face downward.
