Its shows that dreams have always been considered here to be major experiences deeply interwoven with life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDreams are a tool allowing a reading of the mind, life and world. They hold a function in the literary discourse, be it classical or contemporary; they can be a source of inspiration. They can also be prophetic in religious biographies or in the popular tradition. The disturbing nature of dreams could lead to the introduction of rules regulating the sleep. Further, the acts of sleeping and dreaming are a source of life as seen in various aspects of Buddhist, Jain and Brahmanical art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe multiplicity of approaches illustrated by this reflects the richness of the Indian in-depth perception of dreams and its readiness to incorporate dreams at any level of life and any system of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE PHYSIOLOGY OF DREAMS\u003cbr\u003eDream Physiology: A Western View on Dreams\u003cbr\u003e  JEAN-LOUIS VALATX\u003cbr\u003eDreaming and Dying in Indian Mythology and Ayurvedic Classical Texts\u003cbr\u003eMARTIN MITTWEDE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MEANING OF DREAM\u003cbr\u003eA Song against Bad Dreams: Magic, Superstition or Psychology?\u003cbr\u003eJ.E.M.
