There are good dreams in which Torah subjects are made known to the person dreaming.2 These generally occur through concentrated devotion to Torah study during the day. When someone studies Torah with great diligence or engages in "service of the heart" - prayer3 - with intense effort, then at night - when his soul ascends4 to draw forth life for itself from the supernal Life, as explained in Zohar5 - it is informed of novellae in Revealed Torah or Inner Torah,6 each person according to his diligence in his avoda during the day.
