چکیده:
Dream has always been an attractive issue for the people in various erras and psychologists have investigated it a lot in the past. However, most of the issues relating to dreams such as its nature and the reality of prophetic dreams are still ambiguous. Mulla Sadra as a philosopher and also as a psychologist has relatively considered it in his scientific works. This study, after reviewing the litrature and extracting the philosophic foundations of sleep and its psychological issues, has shown that given the Mulla Sadra's thoughts including principality of existence, gradation of existence, substantial motion, bodily origination, spiritual subsistence and consequently two-dimensionality of human as well as Mulla Sadra's belief in human authority, an appropriate structure is created for difining dream, types of dreams and source of dreams. It should be noted that though a number of Mulla Sadra's opinions regarding material dimension of human and considering one of the dimensions of human relatively corresponds to psychology, one can extract exact ideas and opinions regarding dreams and particularly prophetic dreams from the perspective of Mulla Sadra due to lack of existing immateriality in contemporary psychology.

The Psychological Interpretation of Mulla Sadra's Thought on the Issue of Sleep and Examining Its Philosophical Foundations Reyhaneh Shayesteh PhD Student of Transcendent Theosophy, Ferdowsi University Mohammad Kazem Elmi Soola Associate Professor, Department of Islamic Philosophy, Faculty of Theology, Ferdowsi University Seyyed Mortaza Hosseini Shahroudi Professor, Department of Philosophy and Islamic Wisdom, Ferdowsi University Date Received: 2019/07/26; Date Accepted: 2020/01/17 Abstract The issue of dreams has been a matter of attention for humans in various eras, and psychologists have also researched and investigated it to a large extent.
This article, after extracting the philosophical foundations related to sleep and its psychological issues, shows that considering Mulla Sadra’s intellectual system based on the primacy of existence, the gradation of existence, substantial motion, corporeality in origin and spirituality in survival, and consequently the two-dimensional nature of human beings and Sadra’s belief in free will, provides a suitable foundation for defining dreams, types of dreams, and the origin of dreams.
From Mulla Sadra’s point of view, the forms that a person sees in a dream are not the source of effect, because in sleep the soul and psyche of man are still connected to the body and occupied with the body and pursuing material affairs, so these imaginary forms cannot produce any effect; while the same imaginative faculty in its highest degree in wakefulness can be the source of effect and reach its most intense level of existence; (Ibid.
