This essay offers a historically engaged discussion of divine dreams in post- Reformation England. While dreams are part of ordinary human experience, their status and meaning are shaped by cultural contexts. Divine dreams, in particular, were the subject of intense scrutiny in seventeenth-century England. While many post- Reformation writers tried to establish criteria by which one might define the origin, significance, and verity of supernatural dreams, the status of divine dreams was ambiguous. It is the ambiguity, however, that invited early moderns to actively engage themselves with issues of agency and of literary representation in interpreting the meanings of what they believed were divinely prompted or truth-telling dreams. To some pious early modern Protestants, skills developed in the constant search for evidence of saving grace and spiritual truth could be applied equally to the signs provided by dreams, enabling them to cut through the knot of ambivalence that had surrounded dream interpretation.
