    Curious question, given your profile. Also, somewhat of an unclear question. What do you mean by ‘dream’, and what do you mean by ‘devilsh things?’ For the purposes of the answer, I’m going to assume you mean night dreams, not daydreams. With the caveat that different religions define ‘sin’ in somewhat different ways, to my best awareness the majority of Christian adherents define sin as an act in defiance of God’s will, that involves a deliberate choice of doing something wrong or evil (or that one should know to be because it is codified somewhere in Scripture or church law). Since most people have little if any control over the content of night dreams, a deliberate choice is not involved in this instance, unless you are a rare person with 100% dream control [I do know one person like that.] Also, in general, spontaneous night dreams are symbolic, so the meaning of ‘devilish things’ is actually a representation of something else, in general. With daydreams, a more conscious choice may be involved, so that instance may be subject to more interpretation.
