Why are there details in the dreams such as the angel's dimples?
The Bible and Spirit of Prophecy are full of details; some are more important than others. I recognize my special
"instructing" angel by the dimples. Remember, a detail may seem odd at first just because it is new. Many see the
details of Daniel and Revelation as very odd. Many see the details in the Spirit of Prophecy as odd, such as the
giving up of dairy products. That does not make it untrue. Details are the only way a person can describe what he
is seeing in the dream so others can “see” the dream as well. If details were left out, it would be quite dull.
Also some details are repeated to show its importance.
I don’t see any new light in the dreams.
There is definitely not new doctrine in the dreams, but there are new details, just as there are in the Spirit of Prophecy.
Ellen White stated, "The question has been asked me, 'Do you think that the Lord has any more light for us as a
people?' I answer that He has light that is new to us and yet it is precious old light that is to shine forth from the
Word of truth.” {1SM, p. 401.} “The word of God is sufficient to enlighten the most beclouded mind, and may be
understood by those who have any desire to understand it. But, notwithstanding all this, some who profess to make
the word of God their study are found living in direct opposition to its plainest teachings. Then, to leave men and
women without excuse, God gives plain and pointed testimonies, bringing them back to the word that they have
neglected to follow.” {3SM 31} “The testimonies are not to belittle the word of God, but to exalt it, and to attract
minds to it, that the beautiful simplicity of truth may impress all.” {2T 605} If the people who now profess to be God’s
peculiar treasure would obey his requirements, as specified in his word, special testimonies would not be given to
awaken them to their duty, and impress upon them their sinfulness and their fearful danger in neglecting to obey the
word of God.” {2T 607}
