Individuals who feel an inexplicable attraction to Atlantis, or who have recurring dreams or memories of a lost civilization, might also be experiencing echoes of their Atlantean past lives.

The Old Testament

Atlantis in the Old Testament

This passage describes a dream that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has, which Daniel interprets.

The dream involves a statue made of various materials, symbolizing different empires, and a stone that ultimately destroys the statue.

In King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, the statue is composed of the following materials, each representing a different empire:

While both King Agamemnon's vision in the Iliad and King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in the Book of Daniel involve divine messages received through dreams, they serve very different narrative and theological purposes.

Agamemnon's dream is part of a larger mythological narrative driven by the whims of the gods, while Nebuchadnezzar's dream is a key element in a prophetic vision that communicates a message about divine sovereignty and the future of empires.

Homer

The Catalogue of Ships

In the end, he deemed it would be best to send a lying dream to King Agamemnon.

So he called one to him and said to it, "Lying Dream, go to the ships of the Achaeans, into the tent of Agamemnon, and say to him word for word as I now bid you.

The dream went when it had heard its message and soon reached the ships of the Achaeans.

The dream then left him, and he thought of things that were surely not to be accomplished.

"My friends," said he, "I have had a dream from heaven in the dead of night, and its face and figure resembled none but Nestor's.

The dream then vanished, and I awoke.

He then sat down, and Nestor, the king of Pylos, with all sincerity and goodwill, addressed them thus: "My friends," said he, "princes and councilors of the Argives, if any other man of the Achaeans had told us of this dream, we should have declared it false, and would have had nothing to do with it.

Ignatius Donnelly

The Deluge of the Chaldeans

"'And the god [Ea], the immutable lord, repeated this command in a dream.--I listened to the decree of fate that he announced, and he said to me:--" Man of Shurippak, son of Ubaratutu--thou, build a vessel and finish it [quickly].--[By a deluge] I will destroy substance and life.--Cause thou to go up into the vessel the substance of all that has life.--The vessel thou shall build-600 cubits shall be the measure of its length--and 60 cubits the amount of its breadth and of its height.

I have not revealed the decision of the great gods;--it is Khasisatra who interpreted a dream and comprehended what the gods had decided."

Dream Interpretation

Louis Ferdinand Alfred Maury

Louis Ferdinand Alfred Maury (March 23, 1817 – February 11, 1892) was a French scholar and physician known for his early ideas on dream interpretation and the impact of external stimuli on dreams, predating Sigmund Freud.

Freud references Maury in "The Interpretation of Dreams," and Sebastian Faulks mentions him in "Human Traces."

Maury coined the term "hypnagogic hallucination" and reported a dream that inspired Salvador Dalí's painting "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening."

He had a contemporary and contentious relationship with fellow dream researcher Hervey de Saint Denys.
