Its best-known examples are the dream books attributed to Ibn Sirin (d. 728) and Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi's (1641–1731) Ta'tir al-Anam. The Turkish dream books read in Anatolia for centuries, and Artemidorus's Oneirocritica from antiquity, belong to the same long tradition.
• Psychological perspective: a general framework based on the modern understanding of dreams that began with Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) and on Carl Gustav Jung's approach to symbols and archetypes.
• The texts were written originally by the Kader Kodu team, drawing on the general approaches of these sources; no sentence is a quotation attributed to a specific work. Dream books also differ from one another on the same symbol.
• Dream interpretation is not a prediction or a final verdict but a mirror that helps you understand yourself; it does not replace professional advice on health, legal or financial matters.
Dreams are the symbolic language of the subconscious: they whisper something to you, but you are the one who decides what to do.
