Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities.
Sin is filthiness; it renders men odious and vile in God's sight, and sooner or later makes them vile in their own eyes and in the eyes of all around them. These filthy dreamers dream themselves into a fool's paradise on earth, and into a real hell at last.

Commenting on Jude 1:8-15
These dreamers are so void of reason, so asleep in spirit, that they defile themselves and despise government itself, not merely the governors, but the matter and authority of government. To reject authority is a more destructive doctrine still than to slander those who wield it.
AI summary
These dreamers pollute themselves through unclean practices rooted in erroneous doctrine. False doctrines are dreams, and the men who teach them are dreamers; such errors arise from darkness of understanding and a spirit of slumber, mere fictions of roving imagination, illusory and deceitful as dreams themselves.
