Job7:14
14. Then thou scarest me with dreams , and terrifiest me through visions .
With sad and dreadful dreams arising either from that melancholy humour which is now so fixed in me and predominant over me, or from the Devils malice who by thy permission disturbs me in this manner; So that I am afraid to go to sleep, and my remedy proves as bad as my disease.
The same thing with dreams: for there were not only day-visions, which were offered to mens sight, when they were awake; but also night-visions, which were presented to mens Fancy in their sleep and dreams. See Gen. 28. 12. & 41. 1, 2. Dan. 2. 1, 31. & 4, 5, 10.
