Mikeitz - Dreams & Visions

In Acts 10, Peter had a dream. He saw a sheet come down from Heaven with all kinds of unclean animals in it. He heard a voice tell him, “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!” He refused, but the vision was repeated a total of three times telling him to kill and eat the unclean animals that he had been shown. We are told that Peter was perplexed by the vision. Why didn’t Peter immediately understand it? Was he simply too dense to understand the obvious? Wasn’t God telling Peter that He was abolishing the dietary laws He gave to His people back in the Torah, and that he wanted them to start ordering in their Honey-Baked-Ham for the holidays? Or was there a different message the Lord wanted Peter to take away from the vision? There is a very important dream in this week’s Torah portion. Could understanding its interpretation be the key to unlocking Peter’s vision?
