Genesis 15 opens with these words:

After these things, the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. (Genesis 15:1)

This is the first recorded instance of someone having a vision in Scripture, but it certainly wasn't the only time this happened. The Dake Annotated Reference Bible lists other visionary experiences in Scripture, on page 13 of the Old Testament:
