Thayer's Greek Lexicon

ἐνυπνιάζω (ἐνύπνιον, which see): to dream (Aristotle, h. an. 4, 10, etc.), and deponent ἐνυπνιάζομαι (Hippocrates, Plutarch, Brut c. 24); so always in the Bible, for ηΘμΗν, with future passive ἐνυπνιασθήσομαι, and common with aorist passive ἐνυπνιάσθην, more rarely middle ἐνυπνιασάμην (Gen_37:9; Jdg_7:13); ἐνύπνια ἐνυπνιάζεσθαι (in the Sept. for ηΐμεξεϊ ηΘμΗν), to dream (divinely suggested) dreams: Act_2:17 from (Joe_2:28); but the reading ἐνυπνίοις (ἐνυπνιάζεσθαι) was long ago restored, which reading also manuscript Alex. gives in Joel. Metaphorically, to be beguiled with sensual images and carried away to an impious course of conduct: Jud_1:8.

ἐνυπνιάζομαι [page 219] The importance attached to temple visions and dreams in Egypt (cf. Milligan Selections , p. 18 ff.) is shown by the mention in P Par 54 .78 of an ἐνυπνιοκριτής in the Serapeum : see also s.v. ἐνύπνιον .
