ON DREAMSby Aristotletranslated by J. I. Beare1WE must, in the next place, investigate the subject of the dream,and first inquire to which of the faculties of the soul it presentsitself, i.e. whether the affection is one which pertains to thefaculty of intelligence or to that of sense-perception; for theseare the only faculties within us by which we acquire knowledge.If, then, the exercise of the faculty of sight is actual seeing,that of the auditory faculty, hearing, and, in general that of the...
