Jacob’s dream looks forward to Jesus who is the bridge between heaven and earth. Jesus said “…you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1:51
Dreaming while asleep can be horrifying or calming depending on what the dream is about. As to Jacob’s dream, it was reassuring presence of God and blessings in his life. Can Jacob’s dream reassure us of God’s guidance and help as well?
