AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot write an accurate general overview of "dream" based solely on this image caption. The caption only describes a specific historical illustration depicting one person's dream content—it doesn't explain what dreams are, how they work, or why they matter. To write a factually grounded overview, I would need source material that actually addresses the topic directly.

A dream is a succession of images, dynamic scenes and situations, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Humans spend more than two hours dreaming per night, and each dream lasts around 5–20 minutes.
