In the various passages, where it is recorded that God gave instructions to Noah, it merely states that 'God said unto Noah' (Genesis 6:13) or 'The Lord said unto Noah' (Genesis 7:1) and 'God spoke unto Noah' (Genesis 8:15). We are not told how exactly this took place. In any case, especially in the initial one where the command and consequent details about the ark construction were given, there is a great amount of specific detail. It would appear from this that it is unlikely to have been in a dream or vision but in a highly tangible form.

In any case, however Noah encountered God, it did not appear to strike Noah as particularly unusual or strange, even though the task was monumental and the coming judgment drastic and terrible. Noah lived in the wicked pre-flood world and so he knew first hand that God's decision was right. If Noah was, as God Himself said 'righteous before me', then Noah may well have been accustomed to regular communion with God and so lived his life in a manner pleasing to God, unlike those around him. It was thus not an unusual thing to hear from God as his whole life was dedicated to living righteously before God.

Noah encountered God through direct communication. God spoke to Noah and instructed him to build an ark to save himself, his family, and pairs of animals from a great flood that was coming to cleanse the earth of wickedness.
