I recently thought of this question while contemplating Jesus diety. What does the God/man dream about while He was on earth. That is something I would like to ask Him in heaven. It makes me curious what type of dreams He had?!!
 
He probably dreamed about the same stuff humans usually dream about. Doing things he enjoyed, visiting with his relatives and friends. He probably had a nightmare from time to time as a baby and woke up crying and his mom went and comforted him. The image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help has Jesus being frightened by seeing instruments of his future torture. Maybe he dreamed about that sometimes.
 
Good question.

Maybe it would be better for a dreamless sleep otherwise it would be the impending crucifixion all the time.
 
Huh? He saved Peter…

Jesus had a loving mom and foster dad here on earth. Although he wasn’t rich, it doesn’t seem like he lived in extreme hardship. His home was peaceful. He had enough to eat. He had some ability or means to learn enough that he was able to chat with the priests in the temple; he could likely read and write (in the Bible in one place he is writing on the ground), which right there set him apart from a lot of people in his day. His dad taught him a trade. He had relatives and friends and enjoyed time with them - he went with his mom to a wedding for example. Also, Jesus loved people and he likely enjoyed his interactions with many of them.

if Jesus hadn’t gone out and taken up his public ministry, he could have had a very nice life. As it was, he had 30 years of what appears to be a pretty good life before he went out and started preaching.

It may be that you just tend to remember the worrying dreams more.

Most of us have pleasant dreams too. I’ve had dreams where I could fly, or dance really well, or ice skate like an Olympian although I’ve never even been on a rink. I’ve had dreams where I felt so happy in the dream that when I woke up I was pretty sure Jesus gave me a foretaste of heaven. I’ve sometimes seen particular people in my dream who I was happy to see (often they are deceased but not always).
 
Maybe you are right although flying, dancing and ice skating don’t do it for me.

Scoring the winning goal for England in the world cup would do it though.
 
I think he probably dreamed about the fact that he saw the sin in everyone, and still loved everyone.
