Greeks thought dreams were messages from the gods They built special temples in which dreams were
"kept” They placed the sick in these temples as they thought dreams had the power to heal The
Egyptians believed that gifted people could interpret dreams which were messages from God

adventures For example, dreaming of a shark represents a person who is greedy You need to take carewhen dealing with this person Dreaming of spiders means that you feel like an outsider and, if you dream

before you hit the ground! (By the way, you won't actually die if you dream that you hit the ground.) Thisshows that you are anxious and insecure You have lost control of the situation
