Question: What is the name of Pilate's wife? What was her dream? Was it more specific than the 2 lines in Matthew's Passion? This is not earth-shattering, I was just curious.  It is not part of the Bible Study questions for the group.

Answer: 

Well, I only know of the two lines in Matthew referring to the dream Pilate's wife had about Jesus' innocense.  Matthew 15:18-19.

 I did some research and found out her name was Claudia Procula...

 Charlotte Bronte wrote a rather long but interesting poem titled "Pilate's Wife's Dream."

 Hopefully, this information will serve us well the next time we Trivial Pursuit.

 Have good day!
