| Summary: | Reality is seen in very different ways by people from different cultural backgrounds. Ordinary Muslims live in a world in which transempirical “beings” and “powers” impinge on their everyday lives. In that process, the role of dreams is significant. This article examines ways in which dreams function among ordinary Muslims. A summary of the significance of dreams in the Bible is followed by an analysis of the roles that dreams have played in the processes of conversion for those coming to Christ from a Muslim background. Finally, some conclusions are drawn for contemporary witness among ordinary Muslims. |
