Afraid for his life, Abraham lied to Abimelech, king of Gerar, telling him that Sarah was his sister. In good conscience, Abimelech took Sarah to be his wife.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. (Gen. 20:3)

Abimelech was the first recorded dreamer in the Bible, but he certainly wasn't the only one. The Dake Annotated Reference Bible lists other significant dreamers in Scripture, on page 17 of the Old Testament:
