The Sumerians in Mesopotamia left evidence of dreams dating back to 3100 BC.
The Mesopotamians believed that the soul moves out from the body of the sleeping person and actually goes to the places or the lands that the person is actually dreaming about and what the dreamer sees in his/her sleep. Sometimes the god of dreams is said to carry the dreamer to that imaginative place or even real place. Babylonians and Assyrians divided dreams into "good," which were sent by the gods, and "bad," sent by demons.
