The role of dreams in Genesis, the Song of Songs and the OresteiaDescribing the role of dreams in ancient texts, Freud wrote: " They took it for granted that dreams were related to the world of supernatural beings they believed in and that they drew inspiration from gods and demons. Furthermore, it seemed to them that dreams had to serve a special purpose with respect to the dreamer who, as a rule, they predicted the future.” He goes on to explain the findings of a fellow psychiatrist, Gruppe, who believed that there were two classes of dreams in ancient texts. The first class is influenced only by the present or the past and does not play a largely significant role in these texts The second class, however, is decisive for the future and is very important for understanding the texts in which they appear. This class contains dreams that are direct prophecies and directly show the future, dreams that predict the future and indirectly suggest what will be. the future, and dreams that are symbolic and require interpretation to fully understand their explanation of the future. The gods use all of these types of dreams to play a direct role in the lives of men in Genesis, the Song of Songs, and the Oresteia. The use of dreams in Genesis is most evident through the story of Joseph. Dreams play an important role in determining the course of Joseph's life and are used to reveal the mind of God to people. The first dreams he encounters are of his brothers' sheaves bowing before his sheaf, and of the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing before him. These dreams fit best with Gruppe's description of symbolic dreams. While their explanation is quite evident in showing that the middle of the card is very important in ancient texts because it presents humanity with a world that it cannot see. Without dreaming there would be almost no connection with the gods, with those beings who influence and plan life on earth. As Freud states, in every dream there is a meaning; each of them has a special meaning for the person who experiences them. They are important because through them the gods can directly shape the course of life, because they can be a form of communication with the gods, and because they can show what is happening behind the secret “divine curtain” through which humans cannot see. . Without dreams, man would remain stranded, left on earth alone, without any understanding of the meaning of things. For this reason, dreams are used as an important literary tool, because they create a supernatural connection that everyone can experience and that everyone can wonder about.
