Background
The Oneirocritica was written by Artemidorus Daldianus in the 2nd century AD. It is the earliest extant Greek work on dreams and mentions many earlier, now lost, dream books.
How it works
Artemidorus catalogued dream images and their meanings across five books; Freud later acknowledged his approach.
