The attempt to foretell the future by the interpretation of ordinary dreams was not condemned. by the early Church; rather it was acknowledged that dreams might be made the vehicle of divine revelation. But some of the old heathen practices by which men sought to acquire supernatural knowledge in dreams, such as sleeping in an idol's temple wrapped in the skin of a sacrifice, or under the boughs of a sacred tree, were distinctly condemned.
