🌍

Contexto cultural

Iranians believe that the time of night you see a dream affects its truthfulness. Dreams before dawn (Sahar) are considered more likely to come true. There is a strong tradition of 'Istikhara' through dreams, where one asks God for guidance and hopes to 'see' the answer in their sleep. The 'World of Dreams' is often used as a metaphor for the transience of life in classical poetry. Younger generations use 'Khāb didi khayer bashe' as a slangy way to say 'In your dreams!' or 'Keep dreaming!' when someone is being too ambitious.

🎯

The 'rā' rule

When dreaming about a specific person, always use 'khāb-e [person] rā didan'.

💬

The polite response

Always say 'Khayer bashe' when someone tells you a dream to be culturally fluent.
