“Dreams Are For Those Who Sleep”. . .What About Visions? By Howard Siegel on December 11, 2020 at 1:06 PM
Is there a difference between dreams and visions? Is a dreamer a visionary, or a visionary a dreamer? The lyrics of a 1970 song proclaim, “Dreams are for those who sleep.” The biblical Book of Joel 3:1 reads, “And afterwards I will pour out my spirit on all humankind. . . . The old shall dream dreams and the youth shall see visions.” The scientific community suggests, “A dream is a construct of our own perception actuated by experiences we receive and partake within. A vision, however, is a reception of a foresight or insight of the future or change.”
