Job 33:14-16

For God may speak in one way, or in another,

Yet man does not perceive it.

In a dream, in a vision of the night,

When deep sleep falls upon men,

While slumbering on their beds,

Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals their instruction.

Joseph answered Pharaoh, “I can’t, but God can give Pharaoh the answer that he needs.”

The Oscar-winning filmmaker has helmed some of the most successful movies of all time, including 'Titanic' and 'The Terminator', and says he gets inspiration and ideas during his sleep.

Speaking to the Metro newspaper, he said: "'The Terminator' came from a dream of a kind of death figure, a chrome skeleton emerging from a fire.

"A lot of the root imagery I had in 'Avatar' came from dreams I had when I was still in college of a bioluminescent forest.

"Sometimes I'll wake up from a nightmare and think, gosh, that was good, I can make a movie about that."
