This is quite frankly one of the greatest films I have ever seen. The quality is outstanding, but it's the content that is breathtaking. 5 stories - chosen from hundreds upon hundreds of other stories - of Muslims receiving dreams and/or visions of Jesus coming to them to offer a real relationship with God. Each story is a dramatic reenactment interspersed with interviews of the actual person, done in the original languages with English sub-titles. The most impressive features of these films: 1) The way that these dreams and visions are depicted on film is simply magnificent - realistic and awe-inspiring; 2) The ethnic/geographic diversity of the 5 stories (Indonesia, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and Nigeria); 3) These films effectively portray Muslims as real people and not all fanatics - something many Western Christians need to realize; 4) The 5 minute sermonettes at the end of each film by a pastoral figure from that nation. This film is a must see!

Without a doubt, the stories in this DVD are among the most amazing and wonderful of any DVD listed with Amazon.com; especially so since they are documented to be true. I appreciated that three of the appearances of Jesus came in dreams, and two in conscious visions. Only one of these people had any access to a Christian church. In one case, the man was faithful to whom he knew was Lord for two years before happening on a Christian radio broadcast; he was then able to obtain his first New Testament. In another story, the Muslim relatives repeatedly tried to kill the new convert - but he was protected from even a poison drink and poisoned arrows. The only young woman was compelled to leave her family at the age of 16 or 17; but she remained faithful to her Savior. So these are not just stories of 'seeds' that sprang up but then withered under the stresses of harsh conditions. All of them had to pay a high price for their belief. Christ was not only the Savior of their souls, but the Provider for their needs in a radically new life.

This is a DVD that will not fail to inspire Christians, and one that would prove very challenging to Muslims and members of other faiths.
[For Farsi-speaking Persians, the man in the fourth story is currently listed as pastor of a Persian/Iranian church in Fremont, CA.]

This is without a doubt the best film I've ever seen!! I laughed and cried through each of the stories that were told. What a blessing to see how God worked in these former Muslims hearts and led them to the way of salvation through Jesus Christ alone. This is one film that every Christian should see. It shows how God is concerned about each one of us personally and will work in our lives if we will allow Him to.

I thought the acting was great and the film seems to be shot on site in each of the countries portrayed. I can't say enough good stuff about this film. Don't miss it! You definitely won't be sorry.

"More Than Dreams" is a 187-minute, full-color, DVD 'docu-drama' that tells the story of a genuine phenomena taking place throughout the Muslim communities world wide. Individual Muslims over the past few decades have been experiences dreams and visions of Jesus Christ. "More Than Dreams" presents five such incidents where form Muslims who, because of their personal experience with this phenomena, have embraced Christianity. Each of the five stories includes a segment explaining what it means to follow Christ. The five highlighted stories are told using the native languages with English subtitles and includes Khalil, a radical Egyptian terrorist who was transformed when Jesus appeared to him; Mohammed, a Nigerian herdsman who survived attempts on his life by his father when the young man found Christ - a faith that eventually was to lead his father to a faith in Christ as well; Dini, an Indonesian teenager who became filled with the peace of Christ even in the face of persecution by her fellow Indonesian Muslims; Khosrow, a young Iranian man who was depressed and hopeless until he met Jesus and became filled with joy; and Ali, a Turkish Muslim addicted to alcohol who, wile on pilgrimage to Mecca, found Christ as the solution to his addiction. "More Than Dreams" is a unique and inspiring work that should have as wide an audience as possible within both Christian and Muslim communities.

INCREDIBLE DVD! Five different stories, each in different languages (Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian, Nigerian, and Farsi) of the conversion of Muslims after a supernatural dream or vision of Jesus.

The fact that the producers choose to keep each story in it's native language and use sub-titles only added to the impact of each story. Simple and very well done production values. Amazing, amazing video.

This is a very good docu-drama. I would recommend it to everybody who needs to have a better understanding about Jesus Christ. God really does work in mysterious ways and this DVD proves it.

The same phenomenon also happened to me, a former Buddhist from Thailand, just more than a year ago with the same result. Yes, it changed my life forever and I am now a follower of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. Since I was very young, as soon as I could remember, everybody in my family kept telling me, "There is no God, but Buddha." and "All Christians are mentally ill." I knew virtually nothing about God, Jesus, Bible, or the cross. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" surely appeared to me at my house 17 months ago and made a believer out of me. The only reason why I was born again is because God exists and Jesus Christ is He. Now, I can faithfully confess that Jesus of Nazareth is my Lord and my Savior. If it could happen to a (former) Buddhist who was as ignorant as I once was, it can happen to anyone. So, please, give Jesus a chance to come into your life, to make you the person He truly created you to be. The best thing is it's free of charge, a gift from God through His only begotten Son. It's all about GRACE and it feels great to be saved and truely alive. Praise the Lord!

I can't fully express in words how wonderful this docudrama is. It was awesome, spectacular, powerful and real. You could actually feel the pain and joy of each of the characters as their story was played out. It seemed as if God had his hand in the making of this master piece. There are 5 short personal stories all reenacted, but they all seemed so real. You will have to see it for yourself; I promise, you won't be disapointed.

I found this collection of testimonies portrayed so encouraging, powerful and heartfelt. No matter who you are or what your cultural/ethnic background is, you will be able to relate and be blessed by one or more of the lives that have been miraculously transformed by God Himself. Gods Great Love and Mercy is undeniable. "It's not by might, nor by power, But by My Spirit says the Lord!" In watching this, I see more how unlimited God is. My faith & hope was strengthened. God looks & loves us beyond the variations of skin color, clothing, language (& accents), culture, status & faults and sees the true need of man which is revealed in this collection. May He help us all to see this too.

this documentary film blessed me tremendously with the love of God.
it strengthened my faith and fill me with joy until my cup runneth over.
God works through this film.
Jesus all praise be unto you.
