Abstract
Ayurveda, a science which has stood the time test, it is unchanging and eternal. It has no doubt maintained its domain in the medical sciences. It deals all spheres of life, based on its sound fundamental principles. There are many theories and concepts such as Tridosha,Triguna, Panchamahabhuta, Loka-Purusha samya, Swapna etc. were explained by Acharyas in Ayurveda. The theories of Swapna were known since times memorial to all the ancient civilizations all around the world. In those times the literature on this concept was abundant and elaborated through mythology or mystic and in the linguistic excellence of that era. But concealed in this mythology, mystic, and the linguistic curves; were the hard core scientific facts and observations. Gradually with time the art and scientific literature involved with dreams was lost and with them those who could interpret them were also gone. Now a days it is not in clinical practice but it has its own significance in the field of medicine. According to modern science also Dreaming is biologically important. Keywords: Ayurveda, Tridosha, Swapna, Dream.
