Strong's Lexicon enupnion: Dream Original Word: ἐνύπνιον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "en" (in) and "hypnos" (sleep), indicating something experienced during sleep. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with dreams is חֲלוֹם (chalom), Strong's Hebrew #2472, which also signifies a dream or vision experienced during sleep. Usage: The term "enupnion" refers to a dream, typically understood as a vision or series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep. In the biblical context, dreams are often seen as a means through which God communicates with individuals, providing guidance, warnings, or revelations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient cultures, including the Jewish and Greco-Roman worlds, dreams were considered significant and often interpreted as messages from the divine. The Bible records numerous instances where God used dreams to reveal His will or future events to His people. Dreams were taken seriously and often required interpretation by those believed to have the gift of understanding such divine communications. HELPS Word-studies 1798 enýpnion (from 1722 /en, "in the sphere of" and 5258 /hýpnos, "sleep") – properly, in sleep; a dream while asleep (used only in Ac 2:17). 1798 /enýpnion ("a dream") is an ideal time for the Lord to communicate in a way we easily block in the busyness of life. The Christian therefore should go to sleep prayerfully, open to communing with God all through the night to receive strength and illumination from Him.
