Brief history of dreams and their interpretation
Dream interpretation by dream experts may be almost as old as the dream itself. We know that all humans, and many animals, dream every night, and humans have always been fascinated to know what causes dreams and what they mean. Dream interpretation dates back to at least 3000-4000 BC. We know this because dream interpretations were permanently recorded on clay tablets. It is believed that many primitive peoples were initially unable to distinguish between the real world and the dream world. In many cases, these people regarded the dream world as an extension of the physical world around them, and in many cases saw the dream world as more powerful than the waking world. Dream interpretation was such an important field for the ancient Greek and Roman world that dream interpreters often accompanied generals and other military leaders into battle. Dreams were taken very seriously, and the Greeks and Romans, in particular, used to regard dreams as messages sent by their gods. Dreams also had a religious content in ancient Egypt, and priests acted as interpreters of dreams.
Dreams were one of the elements recorded by the ancient Egyptians in the form of hieroglyphs. Those whose dreams were especially vivid or meaningful were considered blessed and had a special status in these ancient societies. Likewise, people capable of interpreting dreams were believed to receive these gifts directly from the gods, and also enjoyed a special status in society. There are more than 700 mentions of dreams in the Bible, and the people of biblical times saw dreams as very significant. Dreams and their interpretations are mentioned in many of the most significant books of the Bible and other sacred scriptures. In many cases, dreams were considered a form of prophecy. People used to interpret their dreams as omens or warnings, and adjusted their activities accordingly.
