Humans have been fascinated, inspired, and guided by dreams since our early history. Our ancestors regarded dreams as messages from the divine and considered them bridges between the ordinary and spiritual worlds. Dream interpretation was sacred to the Aztecs, Mayans, Egyptians, Greeks, Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, and African peoples, among others, who looked to dreams for guidance on life and death issues such as health and preparation for impending disasters.
