The oldest recorded dream is a shepherd's
it was pressed in wedges on clay
in ancient Sumer 6400 years ago

A dream, my sister! A dream! In my dream, rushes were rising up for me… Tall trees in the forest were rising up together over me. Water was poured over my holy coals for me, the cover of my holy churn was being removed, my holy drinking cup was torn down from the peg where it hung, my shepherd’s stick disappeared from me. … The churns were lying on their side, no milk was poured, the drinking cups were lying on their side, Dumuzi was dead, the sheepfold was haunted.

4000 years ago Gilgamesh told his mother his dream

Stars of the sky appeared, and some kind of meteorite of Anu fell next to me.

I tried to lift it but it was too mighty for me, I tried to turn it over but I could not budge it.

The Land of Uruk was standing around it, the whole land had assembled about it, the populace was thronging around it, the Men clustered about it, and kissed its feet as if it were a little baby.

I loved it and embraced it as a wife.

I laid it down at your feet, and you made it compete with me.

 2600 years ago it was written that

 If a man flies repeatedly in his dreams, then all that he owns will be lost.  

And last night I dreamed that I was hugging President Obama
for a long time.
He picked me up and then put me down,
but I could not pick him up,
even though,
you guys,
I'm really strong.
He laid kisses down the length of my arm
and I was like, woah, hey,
you gotta stop there.
