Explanation:

Dreams are one of the universal human experiences as they are part of our biological life experience. As such, they have played important role in human history and culture all around the world. All since ancient times, people have tried to analyze and understand dreams. For example, in ancient Egypt, people thought dreams are ways to receive spiritual messages from gods as a guide for lives. By reading their interpretations of dreams and symbolism, we can see what were the subjects that were important for them in everyday life – robbery, crops, marriage, home, etc.

Aboriginal culture relies heavily on the experience of dreaming. Dreamtime or The Dreaming is the Aboriginal name for the time when land and universe is created, so the dreams are the center of their culture, cosmology, society, and preception of the world.

In recent Western modern history, we can also see how the experience of dreaming affected the culture. Many philosophers and psychologists have explained dreaming processes and gave their thought about them, which later influenced science and our understanding of the world. We can see how dreams influenced social studies in the works of Nietsche who thought we can use dreams to understand culture and history more clearly, as well as in the works of Jung and Freud who used dreams and their understanding as a way to understand mental health and illness.
