The prophet that hath a dream— "Let him propose his dream to those who are truly inspired, that they may judge whether the dream is from God, and that they may not give out simple dreams and vain imaginations for true prophesies, mixing the chaff with the wheat, and confounding true revelation with the errors of a misguided spirit, Jeremiah 23:29. Is not my word like as a fire, quick and powerful, capable of trying metals, as in a furnace, and ready to burn up that which will not bear the trial? And as a hammer breaketh the hardest rock in pieces, so is this word able to break down the confidence of the most hardened sinner." See Calmet.
