In other words, a dream is the state you were in, and a vision is what you perceived in that state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concretely, <strong>Daniel<\/strong> is a good example of this in the Bible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He describes getting &ldquo;visions in his head&rdquo; while lying in bed. Later, he even calls that same episode a dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, which is it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both, it would seem. God even says outright that He&rsquo;ll make Himself known to prophets through visions and speak to them in dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visions can happen while you&rsquo;re asleep and while you&rsquo;re awake. In some cases, they happen in your sleep, becoming one with the dreams you&rsquo;re having.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Pharaoh saw the images clearly, but he had no idea what they actually meant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is typical for dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes someone blessed with <strong>genuine insight<\/strong> from God to decipher their messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we know, Joseph explains that the cows symbolize the seven years of abundance, meant to be followed by seven years of famine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because the same symbolism has appeared to Pharaoh, Joseph tells him that the fate of Egypt has been firmly decided by God.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, it seems as though biblical dreams <strong>require someone else<\/strong> to decipher them, as the person who had the dream isn&rsquo;t always able to understand God&rsquo;s will.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
