Defining Dream and Vision:
1. Dream - “A sequence of images, etc. passing through a sleeping person’s mind” (Webster’s

2. Vision - “A mental image” (Webster’s Dictionary)
3. “In a dream, a vision of the night...” (Job
33:15)

Often we would think of a dream as the flow of these images while sleeping and a vision as the flow of these images while awake.

Every 90-minute cycle of sleep begins with alpha, then goes into deeper sleep which is called theta, and finally deepest sleep which is called delta.
At the close of the first 90-minute cycle each night, the individual returns to alpha level sleep, where he has a short, five-minute dream period. The next time he cycles up to alpha, he has a ten-minute dream period. The third time in alpha, the dream period is about 15 minutes, and so on. If one sleeps a full eight hours, the entire last hour is essentially spent in alpha level sleep. Thus, the average person sleeping for eight hours a night will dream about one to two hours of that time.
Alpha level sleep is where one has what is called
Rapid Eye Movement (REM). Rapid Eye Movement is exactly what it sounds like: the eyes of the dreamer begin moving rapidly. He is actually watching the scenes in the dream, and
