Concept of Dream in Ayurveda

Abstract

Āyurveda is the eternal holistic system of medicine. The fundamental principles of Āyurveda, which covers all the domains of life, are relevant irrespective of changes in time period and civilization. But it is unfortunate that many concepts in Āyurvedaand other ancient science are unexplored. Dream (svapna) is such an untouched concept. The description of this complex phenomenon is supported by mythology and philosophy making it less palatable in present era. The understanding and analysis of dream is important not only in the conceptual field but also in the clinical field
