In Homer's epic poem Iliad, after Achilles, the Greek hero of the Trojan war and the son of Peleus, loses his war gift and love Briseis to Agamemnon, the son of King Atreus, he wails in front his mother Thetis and asks her to appeal to god Jupiter (Jove) to help him. Jove is reluctant to help the Trojans, for his wife, Juno, favors the Greeks, but he finally agrees. Jove, in order for the Greeks to lose the war and help Achilles, then sends a false dream to Agamemnon in which a figure in the form of old counselor Nestor persuades Agamemnon that he can take Troy if he launches a full-scale assault on the city’s walls.
Jupiter, as a planet, has a central position among the other planets in the solar system. While Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are one side, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are on the other. Astrologically, Jupiter represents balance, organization and optimism. So, the dreams are considered to be sent by god Jupiter for awareness of supportive internal and external forces. They compensate for what is lacking deep inside us, in our daily life. They attempt to balance the psyche. In other words, they embrace a positive attitude.
So, next time you see a dream, remember that it is there to remind you that there is an order in the universe for a prosperous, balanced and joyful life. Is this the interpretation of a dream? What do other intellectuals say about dreams? Do dreams come to us when we are unconscious to make us realize that there is order in the universe or to fantasize about things because these things are not possible in the real world? Every symbol we see in our dreams is considered to have some message for us. Do you believe that?
