Methodology and Conclusions

In «On Dreams», Aristotle investigates the nature, origin, and significance of dreams. He views dreams as a psychophysiological process related to the activities of the soul and body. Aristotle analyzes how external and internal stimuli affect the content of dreams and asserts that dreams result from sensory impressions retained in memory. He also discusses how dreams may be linked to a person's physical condition, such as illnesses. In his conclusions, Aristotle asserts that dreams do not have divine origins and are not prophetic, but rather reflect the physiological and psychological states of a person.
