Signification
The act of dreaming while asleep.
Contexte culturel
It is a common tradition to tell a bad dream to running water (like a kitchen tap) so that the 'evil' of the dream flows away. Dream interpretation books (Yuxu yozmaları) are very popular. Seeing a snake usually means an enemy, while water means 'aydınlıq' (clarity/purity). When someone tells a dream, the listener often says 'Xeyir olsun' (May it be for the best) before hearing the details. There is a belief that 'true dreams' (sadiq yuxular) occur just before dawn.
The 'See' Rule
Always remember that in Azerbaijani, dreams are visual experiences you observe. Use 'görmək' (to see).
Don't 'Do' Dreams
Avoid saying 'yuxu etmək'. It sounds very unnatural to native speakers.

Xeyir Olsun
If someone tells you they had a dream, say 'Xeyir olsun' (May it be good) immediately. It's a polite cultural reflex.
Reporting Dreams
Use the '-miş' past tense (görmüşəm) when telling a dream you just remembered. It adds a sense of 'I just realized/remembered this'.
