In this passage and innumerable others, it is clear that the intention behind the interpretation is prediction of the future. Despite this overarching concern with omens of the future, Artemidorus’s remarks reflect an appreciation of symbolism and a grasp of the dreaming mind’s deployment of metaphors that make the Oneirocritica valuable reading for any serious student of dreams. Artemidorus’s volume and other such works composed in the classical world also had a broad influence on the tradition of Muslim dream interpretation—a tradition which survives to this day in various parts of the Islamic world.
The Zodiac (literally, “circle of animals”) is the “belt” constituted by the twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The notion of the zodiac is very ancient, with roots in the early citied cultures of Mesopotamia. The connection between astrology and dreams has been tentatively explored by a few astrologers. One would anticipate that natives of various signs would have more dreams related to the central themes of their sun sign (the sign the sun is in when one is born) than natives of other signs.
Dreams are the most common arena in which religious symbolism is encountered. One of the signs noted by abduction researchers as indicative of an abduction event is the prevalence of dreams containing UFO- or alien-related imagery. In many of the cases in which the abduction is at least partially recalled prior to the use of hypnosis, it is recalled as a dream rather than as an objective event. For example, Kathy Davis, the main subject of Budd Hopkins’ bestseller Intruders, consistently believes that her experiences were a series of dreams about UFO abductions.
