The History of Dreams

The first records of dreams can date back to many years.  
There were records of dreams that date back to 3100 BC in Mesopotamian area that were created by the Sumerians.  The Sumerians believed that dreams were actually the soul leaving the body when sleeping and visit all of the places he or she experiences in the mind.  The god of dreams is said to carry the dreamer and guide to all of these destinations. 

The Babylonians and Assyrians further developed this idea by dividing the dreams into “good” which were sent by the Gods, and “bad” who were sent by demons.

Starting at around 2000 BC, Egyptians inscribed their dreams onto papyrus.  People who had more vivid dreams were considered blessed and considered special and a prodigy.  They also believed that dreams were messages from the gods.

Many ancient civilizations related dreams with their religion and their connection with their gods.  They mainly believed that dreams were signs and messages from god describing if their lives are within the standard of the gods.
