Some phrases the NIV uses for "dreams" are: vision at night, vision of the night, vision in the night, during the night had a vision, dream one night, dreams in the night. If there are others, I don't really remember.
These are some of the Bible references of when God spoke to people in dreams. There probably are more.
What I learned is God speaks to all sorts of people in dreams. They do not have to be Christians. God can speak directly to the person, or He can use those like angels. He sometimes speaks directly to that person, but that person can also be a messenger.
- Genesis 37 (Joseph's Dream), 40 (Joseph Interprets the Cupbearer & the Baker's dreams), 41 (Pharaoh's Dream)
