The Book of Revelation was inspired by the dream visions of St. John.

The revelation is given to John through signs and symbols contained in a series of visions, that an angel explains to him. Much of the content of the revelation is apocalyptic in nature, foretelling the terrible events that are to unfold at the end of time. When the first vision begins, John is in a trancelike state. Specifically, the author says that he was “in the Spirit” when he heard a loud voice. While the meaning of this expression is open to interpretation, it implies that John was in an altered state of consciousness.

In the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, angels regularly relay messages to human beings, both in dreams and while the recipients are awake. Such communications are usually direct and explicit, however, rather than indirect and symbolic, except in certain dream messages.
