Dream Guidance Part 1

Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
- Anonymous

As then, while all men are guided by their own minds, there are some few who are deemed worthy of evident Divine communication; so, while the imagination of sleep naturally occurs in a like and equivalent manner for all, some, not all, share by means of their dreams in some more Divine manifestation.
- Gregory of Nyssa

Now Allah has created the dream not only as a means of guidance and instruction, I refer to the dream, but he has made it a window on the Unseen.
- Words of the Prophet Mohammed, Arabia, 7th century A.D.

... and that in a dream certain persons may have certain things pointed out to them to do, is an event of frequent occurrence to many individuals, - the impression on the mind being produced either by an angel or by some other thing. Where, then, is the absurdity in believing that He who has once become incarnate, should be led also by human guidance to keep out of the way of dangers?
- Origen
