* When you look at the result of any given dream, it appears that they would benefit Jacob. The messages also resemble Jacob (guidance, further instructions, helping people follow their faith).
* It seems that MIB can physically influence people, while Jacob may only be able to appear to people in dreams. This goes back to fate vs. free will/science vs. faith. When Jacob appears to people in dreams, he is not physically forcing them to do anything. He just puts the idea in their head, but it is ultimately up to the individual to act on the dream. If you look back on the dreams, they were usually to guide people, to help them get where they needed to be.

* The visions physically led people to bad things. The first vision ever was Jack's Dad, and he led Jack off of a cliff and he may have died had Locke not been there. (Walt led Shannon to her death, and Yemi (MIB) led Eko to his death). But if you look at Eko's initial dream with Yemi, Eko was trying to apologize to Yemi for contributing to his death, but Yemi said not to worry and told him of the importance of pushing the button. But when MIB used Yemi to try to get Eko to confess, "Yemi" was very scornful and did not act like he did in the dream. And right after Yemi and turned into the monster and killed Eko.
* This is also science vs. faith in the sense that when Jacob sends someone a message in their dreams, the person must have a lot of faith to follow that message. When MIB appears to someone physically right in front of them, you assume that is the right thing to follow since it is right in front of your eyes. True faith is following what you believe even when what you are seeing in front of you tells you to do otherwise.
