Every person in the world dreams. Some forget and the other remember vaguely or clearly. Astrologically, dreams are connected with the first house, Karka. Reading of dream is connected with Rahu.

Dreams are strange perceptions realized when the physical body of a person is at rest. Dreams are mostly seen at night times. But they can also be seen during day time.

Dreams are sometimes series of pictures and events seen by a sleeping person. In dreams, the soul sometimes become a king, sometimes a beggar, sometimes high and sometimes low. In dreams there are chariots, no horses, no roads, but the soul creates them. There is no happiness, amusement and laughter there; but the soul creates them. Similarly there are no tanks, springs and rivers but the soul creates them. It is said that the longest dream lasts for about five seconds. It starts suddenly and ends abruptly. The psychologists do not agree about the significance and interpretation of most of the dreams. Dreams may be pleasant, unpleasant, single, composite, absurd, meaningless, short realistic, about future events, or about routine life. Dreams may amuse and regale a dreamer, it may pre-sage future events, or may cause afflictions and misery to the dreamer or may suggest guidelines for unsolved problems or may even disclose unknown secrets to the dreamer.

Dreams seen during illness or seen during daytime are less reliable. A comprehensive investigation about the dreams and subsequent events in the life of a dreamer and the matters connected with the dreamer is likely to provide scientific basis for interpreting most of the dreams.
