Gill's Notes on the Bible
Which think to cause my people to forget my name,.... The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, "my law". The word and worship of God; from which men are drawn off by false teachers, and are in a fair way to be brought to atheism, and to forget that there is a God; for when once men are turned from the word of God to believe lies, and from the pure worship of God to a false religion, there is no knowing where things will end; and, indeed, it was the design of these false prophets, a scheme and device of theirs, in which they hoped to succeed
by their dreams; which, says the Lord,
they tell every man to his neighbour; privately from house to house, as well as publicly, to take off the people from all thoughts of God and his worship:
as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal: or, by Baal k; by means of Baal's prophets in Samaria before mentioned; who seduced Israel from the pure worship of God, and made them forget him; having the name of Baal more in their minds and mouths than the name of God. The Syriac version is, "as their fathers forgot my name, and worshipped Baal"; and so the Targum,
"as their fathers forsook the worship of my name, and swore by the name of idols.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To his neighbor - i. e., to one another, to the people about him, to anyone.
As their fathers ... - Rather, âas their fathers forgot My name through Baal.â The superstition which attaches importance to dreams keeps God as entirely out of menâs minds as absolute idolatry.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 23:27. By their dreams — Dreams were anciently reputed as a species of inspiration; see Numbers 12:6; 1 Samuel 28:6; Joel 3:1; Daniel 7:1. In the Book of Genesis we find many examples; and although many mistook the workings of their own vain imaginations in sleep for revelations from God, yet he has often revealed himself in this way: but such dreams were easily distinguished from the others. They were always such as had no connexion with the gratification of the flesh; they were such as contained warnings against sin, and excitements to holiness; they were always consecutive-well connected, with a proper beginning and ending; such as possessed the intellect more than the imagination. Of such dreams the Lord says, (Jeremiah 23:28:) The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream-permit him to show what he has thus received from the Lord: but let him tell it as a dream, and speak my word faithfully, lest he may have been deceived.
