Synopsis

Dream interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. In many of the ancient societies, including Egypt and Greece, dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine intervention, whose message could be unravelled by those with certain powers. In modern times, various schools of psychology have offered theories about the meaning of dreams. In Greek mythology, Hypnos was the personification of sleep; the Roman equivalent was known as Somnus. His twin was Thanatos (death); their mother was the goddess Nyx (night). His palace was a dark cave where the sun never shines. At the entrance were a number of poppies and other hypnogogic plants. In this book there are the ancient Greek text about dream interpretation.
