Dream' In Ancient India: A Study In Mythological Beliefs

  • Format:

The 'subconscious' in humans has always been a subject inviting speculation. The subconscious expresses itself in a dream, but the dreamer has no control over it. Hence the study of dreams has become interesting and more so thought-provoking.\n\nThere have been various studies, including the clinical aspects of the phenomenon of dreams. The general consensus of the studies is that most dreams are in the form of narrations rearranged from memories of actual experiences and they are interrupted by frequent shifts of scenes and images.\n\nThe main idea underlying the discussion about dreams is always their auspicious or inauspicious nature. The age-old beliefs about 'auspicious' and 'inauspicious' are too firmly fixed in the mental set-up of society for being removed. The sphere of dreams is no exception to this.\n\nThe present book dealing with 'Dream' in ancient India takes us to the arena of the mythological beliefs, for solving the enigmatic nature of dreams.
