Genesis 40:5-8
And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were TROUBLED. So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, “Why are your faces downcast today?” They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
Both cup bearer, and baker had tormenting dreams.
Yet, when they were asked about their discomfort concerning the dreams they were told that God was the one who would give the answer.
I have shown in this thread that we don't have dreams which come from demonic attacks. They are meant to be warnings, the verses given show that those who had these dreams where troubled, because the dreams, but all received their answers from God. Not from any Shaman in a Hawaiian shirt.
God isn't the author of confusion or illusion.
Also when people start telling you that not everything was mentioned in the Bible? Stand back, turn and run. Because they are about to whip out the top hat, drop in the peep stone, then start interpreting visions from an disguised angel of light.
John M. Allegro believed that Jesus and the apostles used psychedelic mushrooms. Allegro was an eccentric scholar who while studying the Dead Sea Scrolls tied Jesus to the Essenses to the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. Where does he find this proof? By creating his argument based on conjecture. later he would concluded that Jesus didn't even exist.
Also, a plea that we should ignore book, chapter, and verse and replace it with personal experiences? We should then also throw in Big Foot, UFOs, and Sea Monsters sunbathing in Scotland.
