Dream climbing with Emet and Shira

"The phenomenon of prophecy is predicated on the premise that God reveals [God's] will, by means of visions and oral communications, to individuals of [God's] own choosing. The prophets are selected by God and irresistibly compelled to deliver [God's] message, at times even against their own will and regardless of whether the people wish to hear it. Prophecy is neither a science nor an art that one may learn or master...Prophets...translate their revelatory experiences into the idiom of the people...through the media of oracles, prayers, hymns parables, indictments, dirges, letters, satirical tirades, and legal pronouncements."
In the Hebrew Bible, prophets are called
נָבִיא -- navi -- prophet
חֹזֶה -- chozeh -- revealer, lit. one who has revelations
רֹאֶה -- ro'eh -- seer, lit. one who sees
–from "Prophecy and Prophets" by Shalom M. Paul in Etz Hayim

איוב י״ט:כ״ו

וְאַחַר עוֹרִי נִקְּפוּ־זֹאת וּמִבְּשָׂרִי אֶחֱזֶה אֱלוֹהַּ׃

Job 19:26

And even after my skin is torn off, from my flesh will be revealed Eloha

ברכות נ״ה ב:כ׳

וְאָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן, שְׁלֹשָׁה חֲלוֹמוֹת מִתְקַיְּימִין: חֲלוֹם שֶׁל שַׁחֲרִית, וַחֲלוֹם שֶׁחָלַם לוֹ חֲבֵירוֹ, וַחֲלוֹם שֶׁנִּפְתַּר בְּתוֹךְ חֲלוֹם. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמֵר: אַף חֲלוֹם שֶׁנִּשְׁנָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְעַל הִשָּׁנוֹת הַחֲלוֹם וְגוֹ׳״.

Berakhot 55b:20

Rabbi Yochanan also said: three types of dreams will come to be revealed as true:

morning-time dreams, dreams where your friends show up, and dreams interpreted within a dream. And some also say revelations come from a dream that is repeated, as it says in the Torah: “Now as for Pharaoh's dream repeating twice: it means that the matter is determined by HaShem, and HaShem is hastening to do it.” [Bereshit 41:32]

HARPER: Are you . . . Who are you?
PRIOR: Who are you?
HARPER: What are you doing in my hallucination?
PRIOR: I’m not in your hallucination. You’re in my dream.
HARPER: I don’t understand this. If I didn’t ever see you before and I don’t think I did, then I don’t think you should be here, in this hallucination, because in my experience the mind, which is where hallucinations come from, shouldn’t be able to make up anything that wasn’t there to start with, that didn’t enter it from experience, from the real world. Imagination can’t create anything new, can it? It only recycles bits and pieces from the world and reassembles them into visions . . . Am I making sense right now?
...
PRIOR: Dreaming used to be so . . . safe.
HARPER: It isn’t, though, it’s dangerous, imagining to excess. It can blow up in your face. Threshold of revelation.
