The eleventh son of Jacob,
Joseph suffered for apparent
Arrogance, until his prophecies
Were proven accurate.
Gideon the miller defeated
The Midianites, as had been
Foreseen in a dream had by
A simple soldier.
The Virgin Mary's husband, Joseph,
Knew the divine nature of his
Son, as well as actions to take
for his protection, via dreams.
Here we see communication
With the Divine made possible
In slumber. The One who gives
us dreams is the only true Interpreter.

Thank you for entering. The theme of this is right on target for the competition. I have not yet read all the entries but hope to complete judging in a day or so. After I have announced the results (but NOT before) you will be able, if you wish, to earn bonus points by commenting on other people's entries.
