(Strong's #1797 — Verb — enupniazo — en-oop-nee-ad'-zom-ahee )

akin to A, No. 2, is used in Acts 2:17 , in the Passive Voice, in a phrase (according to the most authentic mss.) which means "shall be given up to dream by dreams," translated "shall dream dreams;" metaphorically in Jude 1:8 , of being given over to sensuous "dreamings," RV, AV, "dreamers," and so defiling the flesh.
