In it, Artemidorus discusses the nature of dreams and how to interpret them, and provides an encyclopaedic catalogue of interpretations of dreams relating to the natural, human, and divine worlds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this volume, Harris-McCoy offers a revised Greek text of the \u003cem\u003eOneirocritica\u003c\/em\u003e with facing English translation, a detailed introduction, and scholarly commentary.
