From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Dream
    God has frequently made use of dreams in communicating his will
    to men. The most remarkable instances of this are recorded in
    the history of Jacob (Gen. 28:12; 31:10), Laban (31:24), Joseph
    (37:9-11), Gideon (Judg. 7), and Solomon (1 Kings 3:5). Other
    significant dreams are also recorded, such as those of Abimelech
    (Gen. 20:3-7), Pharaoh's chief butler and baker (40:5), Pharaoh
    (41:1-8), the Midianites (Judg. 7:13), Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 2:1;
    4:10, 18), the wise men from the east (Matt. 2:12), and Pilate's
    wife (27:19).
      To Joseph "the Lord appeared in a dream," and gave him
    instructions regarding the infant Jesus (Matt. 1:20; 2:12, 13,
    19). In a vision of the night a "man of Macedonia" stood before
    Paul and said, "Come over into Macedonia and help us" (Acts
    16:9; see also 18:9; 27:23).
