Abstract
In this study, attention has been made to the denotation and connotation of dreams and the related functions and theories have been enumerated. The features of dreams in the epical and mystic-educational genres have been named and their possible differences and similarities have been researched. The result of this study shows in epical texts, dreams are more bonded with the text in regard to time, driving force, and elements. Hence, in these texts, dreams are more effective and involved in the process of narration, compared to the mystical literary genre, such that dream is an integral part of the related text. Additionally, the message or theme of the dream is more transparent in epical texts or is revealed upon the assistance of the dream reader, removing all existing ambiguities.
