Abstract

Dreams are general phenomena that have long been given attention by humans. In this phenomenon, concepts and notions appear symbolically. Thus, understanding them involves their analyzing and decoding, which is referred to as dream interpretation in our culture. The oldest dream book in verse is from Sanaee (stated in Hadighat-al-Haghigah) and the oldest Persian dream book in prose is "Khabghozari" whose author is actually unknown. It has been written or translated in 6th century. Kamel-Attabir from Hobeish Tefisi is the most famous Persian prose dream book. We have no good publication from any corrector of this book, although it has some useful linguistic points. The most complete and useful Persian dream book in prose is "Tabir-e- Soltni" from Ghazi Esmail Abarghouhi which has been compiled in the age and city of Hafez. In this dream book, some interpretations of "Manzoom-e-Khargoushi" (rabbit verse) – whose origin isn't yet known to us- have been narrated. In this text, the main Persian dream books are introduced and studied in terms of linguistics literature and anthropology.
