S in its origins, the man considered dreams as a bridge between the earthly and the supernatural. In the most refined civilization, often, the priests of various religions lend themselves to interpretation. Soothsayers and sibyls were also consulted by the men of power, as well as by the people. Dream has always been seen as a detector of the individual history of man and also as a source where you get to guess the fate of the community. In fact, at all times, there have been people who for their great sensitivity, proved receptive to the "messages" to the needs of a whole cultural, social and spiritual. In Sacred Scripture , there are several episodes in which the dream has illuminated the history of mankind. The best known is the story of Joseph, son of Jacob (Old Testament). He sold his brothers, made a slave in Egypt, ended up in jail with a slander, interpreted dreams two of his companions in misfortune.

The latter speaks of Joseph to Pharaoh, who could not find the whole kingdom who could interpret his dream . Chiamatolo before him and exposed him his dream , Giuseppe him interpreted unambiguously. Seven years of famine would have hurt Egypt (Genesis 41, 25-32). The Pharaoh did Minister of his reign, Egypt was saved thanks to the genius of Joseph and all'accortezza. Thus, a dream saved a nation and others were helped. In the New Testament, was emblematic the dream of the other Joseph husband of Mary and foster father of Christ. Which has become apparent pregnancy of Mary, the Angel Gabriel in a dream , revealed to Joseph, who He that would was born the Son of God (Mt 1, 20-23). So Joseph, who thought to dismiss Mary in secret, did not hesitate to accept as his bride. With another dream , Egypt returned to Nazareth. Herod was dead, and nobody could do more harm to the Divine Infant (Mt 2, 19-23). After the descent of the Holy Spirit, the Good News was preached throughout the world.
many saints in Church history, had visions and dreams they detectors, because the people of God will remain enriched in the Faith. The Lord God, the prophet Joel, had announced: " I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream ". (Gl 1, 3-5). Famous are the "dreams " St. John Bosco, which, thanks to them, was helped by the Lord to understand and help young people and the Church of his time. In the last century, Sigmund Freud made the interpretation of dreams a column of his science of psychoanalysis, but it was Jung, a disciple, to realize that dreams are a 'openness to other dimensions.
