Since history has known, dreams have come to play a major role in the rise and fall of the greats and with the lowly. They were once seen as forecasts of a future, a mirror towards an unavoidable collision course with destiny.

These days, dreams aren't seen as predictions of the future by most, but rather reflections of a dreamer's state of mind, particularly, a dreamer's subconscious. Studies have revealed a significance between a dream content to a dreamer's "waking reality" situation.
