“A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.^[1]

The content and function have been topics of scientific, philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history. Dream interpretation, practiced by the Babylonians in the third millennium BCE^[4] and even earlier by the ancient Sumerians,^[5][6] figures prominently in religious texts in several traditions, and has played a lead role in psychotherapy.^[7][8] The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology.^[9] Most modern dream study focuses on the neurophysiology of dreams and on proposing and testing hypotheses regarding dream function. It is not known where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple regions of the brain are involved, or what the purpose of dreaming is for the body or mind.

Long ago, according to writings from Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, dreams dictated post-dream behaviors to an extent sharply reduced in later millennia. These ancient writings highlight visitation dreams, where a figure, usually a deity or a prominent forebear, commands the dreamer to take specific actions, and which may predict future events.^[12][13][14] Framing the oneiric experience varies across cultures as well as through time.”
