DEF

Divination par les songes.

CONT

La divination par les songes ou oniromancie paraît avoir existé de toute antiquité. (...) Les Grecs distinguaient trois classes de songes: ceux qui avaient lieu lorsque les dieux ou les esprits se manifestaient aux hommes, sous une forme quelconque, pendant le sommeil de ceux-ci; ceux ou les événements futurs se présentaient sous leur propre forme; enfin, les songes proprement dits, au milieu desquels l'avenir se présentait sous quelque allusion frappante.
