Interpretation of the dream

The Book of Dream Interpretation
Artemidorus of Ephesus
The study of dreams in our heritage was formed and established before the translation of Artemidorus of Ephesus's book, or any other Greek texts. Prior to this, Muslims had already begun to focus on dreams due to their connection with true visions, and subsequently with prophecy, the dreams of righteous imams, prophetic traditions, conquests, military campaigns, social spheres, and the development of civilization.
Furthermore, dreams in the Holy Quran-and this is a significant starting point-represent a science encouraged by Quranic exegesis with its necessities and requirements. Nor can we overlook the influence of pre-Islamic Arab heritage, which nourished the Arab-Islamic science of dream interpretation with the tributaries of divination and soothsaying, beliefs about jinn and magic, and other knowledge concerning the enigmatic, the inverted, riddles, and mythical and symbolic conceptions of existence and destiny, life and death, light and darkness, or solutions to individual and collective problems on communicative and cognitive levels.
In fact, between the translation into Arabic of the book "Interpretation of Dreams" by Artemidorus (late eighth century AD), and its retranslation from Arabic into Latin in the sixteenth century, there is a period of time during which Arab thought produced giants in the science of interpretation. Likewise, that field occupied a remarkable importance in Sufism, jurisprudence, and philosophy interpreting prophecy and wisdom, where the interpretation of dreams was mixed with human sectors and language on the one hand, and with the future, prediction, and fears on the other hand.
