This convenience writer appears to have a background in archeology, either as a professional or an inspired amateur.
The writer believes that ancient legends or myths can inform dream interpretations, and may provide insight about common human narratives.
She also, however, cautions against using the present as a totally representative assessment tool for the past.
Present dreams may provide clues to the past; they do not provide a full interpretation.
The past was shaped by its own experiences, not necessarily by those of the present.
Please note that this emphasis was this particular writer’s lens. Other convenience writers adopt quite a different philosophy.

Legend and myth are valuable for showing common dream experiences.
No definite rules about dreams.
The past must not be interpreted by the ideas of a later age.
