== NPOV issues ==

The article is in dire need of opposing views, namely that dreams cannot be meaningfully interpreted. As it stands, only views that support dream interpretation are mentioned.--[[User:Megaman en m|Megaman en m]] ([[User talk:Megaman en m|talk]]) 14:09, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

== Pseudoscience? ==

Is it appropriate to include this article in the pseudoscience category? [[User:Yodabyte|Yodabyte]] ([[User talk:Yodabyte|talk]]) 12:35, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

:Nothing in the article even seems to suggest that it's pseudoscience, so until that happens you shouldn't add that category.--[[User:Megaman en m|Megaman en m]] ([[User talk:Megaman en m|talk]]) 13:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

== Psycholgocal perspective ==

I noticed there was a lot of cultural and religious interpretations of dreams mentioned in this article but the psychological aspect wasn't covered as much as I thought it would be. Is Freud's theory of dreams the only one popular in psychology or do other psychologists have theories on dream as well?

== Proposed merge of [[Oneiromancy]] into [[Dream interpretation]] ==
{{Discussion top|result=To '''not''' merge, as the topics are distinct. [[User:Klbrain|Klbrain]] ([[User talk:Klbrain|talk]]) 12:45, 6 January 2024 (UTC)}}
Nothing in the [[Oneiromancy]] article about oneiromancy, if oneiromancy is understood as a form of divination, and [[divination]] is understood as a "standardized process or ritual". There are no processes or rituals in the article. Instead the [[Oneiromancy]] article is overwhelmingly about dream interpretation, with brief mentions of [[Oneirogen]]s. [[User:Daask|Daask]] ([[User talk:Daask|talk]]) 20:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

* '''Oppose:''' Our [[divination]] page is wrong. See [[Talk:Divination#First paragraph is uncited and most likely incorrect]]. [[Dream interpretation]] is (as one would expect) about interpreting dreams. [[Oneiromancy]] is about ''predicting the future'' or ''receiving messages from the gods'' through the interpetation of dreams. Related, but different topics. --[[User:Guy Macon Alternate Account|Guy Macon Alternate Account]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon Alternate Account|talk]]) 03:46, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''' unsurprisingly, the Oneiromancy and divination page have issues. However, while dream interpretation is part of the process for Oneiromancy the two topics are distinct. This merge suggestion is functionally the same as suggesting the smartphone article should be merged with the cpu article because one involves the other. - [[User:Darker Dreams|Darker Dreams]] ([[User talk:Darker Dreams|talk]]) 04:59, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
