Very interesting since the Bible clearly teaches that all truth is now in the Word of God, so no more miraculous dreams like Nebuchadnezzar or others had. I am concerned that imams are telling followers to claim they had such dreams in order to facilitate infiltration of Bible-based groups to learn membership for later persecution/death.

Acts 2:17, New American Standard Bible

'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

I'm not saying these Muslim dreams are in fulfillment of this, but I find it unwise to discount anything in Scripture that says, in the last days, might not mean the days we're in.

You may be missing the point of Pentecost and why Jesus as He was going to the Father after walking around for forty days after the Resurrection, told His mother and the disciples to wait until the Holy Spirit comes to “teach you all things” ...

... and Mary waited with the Disciples in the upper room, prob the same room where Jesus had the Last Supper/or Passover Meal the night before He was crucified.

Then the Holy Spirit fell... and later Peter stood up to say that ‘this is that’ of which the Prophet Joel spoke: I shall pour out My Spirit on all flesh... etc.

Joel 2:28

King James Bible

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Christian Standard Bible

After this I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions.

Acts 2:17

King James Bible

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Christian Standard Bible

And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all people; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

Contemporary English Version

“When the last days come, I will give my Spirit to everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.

Good News Translation

‘This is what I will do in the last days, God says: I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.

Holman Christian Standard Bible

And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

The "word of God" is not just a book or collection of books. The Word of God is Jesus Christ Our Lord.

He still has the power to communicate with people via dreams and visions: not often, perhaps, but it still happens. This power has never at any time ceased. After His resurrection He said "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me" --

And His power is not constrained.

Hubby and I are missionaries. While we don’t work directly with that group, one of our colleagues on the field does. He has told us of this occurrence.

I personally had a “dream” about Jesus, his thrown and the afterlife when I was 17. It changed my life forever and began a journey to seek answers that have led to accepting Jesus has my Lord and Saviour. I put dream in quotes because never have I experienced anything so real on so many levels that it was nothing like any other dream.

It has been going on for several years. There are several YouTube videos talking about the phenomenon.

Has been going for over 20 years, I have met a few.

As for God no longer uses dreams or visions is too silly to discuss...of course God still uses dreams and visions....your the one that needs to read the bible.

I go to a large mainstream protestant church in upper middle class white suburbia.

Our pastor told the story where he was doing a wedding on a Saturday. This Muslim man walks into the church. We have some security/guides. The man wants to talk to the leader of the church. The security guy tells him that he is in the middle of a wedding ceremony. “Why do you want to see the pastor?”

The man says he has had this dream night-after-night of Jesus. And the image of our church. So day after day he drives to all of the churches in the large city. Finally sees the church that fits the church in his dream! OUR church!

Even our pastor was pretty amazed.

Although he said that it shouldn’t surprise us. It isn’t that our church is so great. Our God is so great! One of the tenants of our faith is that God sought us out - HE chose us first! We are so full of sin that it is against our very nature for us to chose Him.

Acts 2:17: In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

You can find a number of you-tubes by Nabeel Qureshi, who recounted he was saved initially by precisely that means, in combination with a close friendship with a Christian fellow student. The dream was in answer to a heartfelt prayer, asking God to reveal the truth to him.

He was a good preacher but he died in 2017 of cancer, still a very young man.
