Dreams Mean Nothing

(Deut 13:1–5; 18:9–14)

34 The senseless have vain and false hopes,

and dreams give wings to fools.

2 As one who catches at a shadow and pursues the wind,

so is anyone who believes ina dreams.

3 What is seen in dreams is but a reflection,

the likeness of a face looking at itself.

4 From an unclean thing what can be clean?

And from something false what can be true?

5 Divinations and omens and dreams are unreal,

and like a woman in labor, the mind has fantasies.

6 Unless they are sent by intervention from the Most High,

pay no attention to them.

7 For dreams have deceived many,

and those who put their hope in them have perished.
