17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God:
I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh;
your sons and your daughters will prophesy;
your young men will see visions;
your old men will dream a dream."Visions" is plural, but "dream" is singular, in the Text (albeit 15% of the Greek manuscripts do have ‘dreams’). When I was young I had all sorts of ‘visions’ of what I thought I was going to achieve in my lifetime. Now that I am old I am pretty well reduced to one ‘dream’. One’s focus must accompany his energy level. (My personal experience is probably not the intended meaning of the Text, but I am not sure what it might be—do all old men have the same dream?)
