Literary genres in Persian literature are divided into three Epic, Lyric, and Didactic types. Each of these main types includes sub-branches; the didactic genre has several sub-genres, one of which is the genre of the dream interpretation (Dictionary of Dream). The issue of the present paper is whether Persian dream interpretation can be considered as a sub-genre and why. The results of the research show that Persian dictionaries due to: subject, plurality, variety, and literary characteristics are a genre. Independently written dream interpretation (Dictionary of Dream) have the most characteristics of the didactic genre, but the abilities that come from other genres are epic and lyric, the theme and features of these genres can be found in them. The genre of dream interpretation (Dictionary of Dream) is rooted deep in history and myth, but it can be said sacred texts: Torah and the Quran are the most important origins.

Keywords: genre, sub-genre, dream interpretation (Dictionary of Dream), dream interpretation evolution, literary history of dream interpretation.
