Many of old pretended to know the mind of God by dreams and were so full of them that they almost made God's people forget his name by their dreams. Many now perplex themselves with their frightful or odd dreams or with other people's dreams heralding this or other disaster. Those that heed dreams shall have a multitude of them to fill their heads with, but in them there is nothing but foolishness - just as there is in many words. They are like the idle ill-mannered chat of children and fools, therefore don't pay any attention to them. Fear God and Him alone. Have an eye to His sovereign dominion. Set Him before you. Keep yourself in His love and be afraid of offending Him and you will not be disturbed by foolish dreams. The way not to be dismayed at the signs of heaven nor afraid of pagan idols is to fear God as King of Nations. (Jeremiah 10:2, 5, 7)
