Dreams

From the Sutras to narrative literature to the modern interaction between Buddhism and psychotherapy, Buddhists have reflected on the meaning of dreams. Their meaning across regions and periods has been far from universal: to Buddhists, dreams have forecasted future events, delivered messages from higher beings, illustrated how we can have perception and sensation in a phenomenal world that is illusory, and more.
