15. Daniel’s beasts (Daniel 7)
16–20. Dreams surrounding Jesus’ birth (Matthew 1:18–2:23)

    Joseph’s message. An angel tells Mary’s betrothed that there is no need to divorce her. The child she is expecting is the savior (Matthew 1:18–24).
    Magi’s warning. The wise men visit the young Jesus. God tells them in a dream to avoid king Herod as they return home—the jealous king wants to kill the boy.
    Joesph’s warning. Likewise, God warns Joseph to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt before Herod hunts down the children of Bethlehem.
    Return to Nazareth. After Herod dies, God tells Joseph he can come back home from Egypt.
    But not via Judea. However, Herod’s son is in power, so God warns Joseph to steer clear of his territory.

21. Pilate’s wife’s nightmare (Matthew 27:19)

Genesis 15 was actually a tough one for me. Abraham certainly slept through the last half of the chapter! I didn’t categorize Genesis 15 events as a dream for a few reasons:

    Verse one says Abraham had a vision.
    “Dream” isn’t mentioned here.
    The whole experience seems a little fluid to break into two.

Whereas dreams happen during sleep, Genesis seems to depict sleep happening during a vision. This also happens to Daniel (Da 8:18). Of course, we could have a case of a dream coinciding with a vision, which Daniel 7:1–2 seems to allow for.

 Peter did see a sheet filled with all kinds of unclean animals and was told to “kill and eat.” However, Luke says that Peter “fell into a trance” (Ac 10:10), and later calls this experience a vision (Ac 10:17).

The line between dream and vision can get a little blurry (see Daniel 7:1–2), but one distinction is that dreams only occur when the dreamer is asleep, while visions can happen while the beholder is awake.
