Rapture dreams are said to be dreams in which the dream appears to the dreamer as "more real than real". Sometimes they are associated with religious or prophetic insights.

As the poet George Crabbe explained:

History of rapture dreams

  • Plutarch's Lives, a history of the Ancients, relates that Julius Caesar on the night before crossing the Rubicon, "had an impious dream, that he was unnaturally familiar with his own mother."
  • On the night before Caesar's death on the Ides of March his wife dreamt "that time she was weeping over Caesar, and holding him butchered in her arms."
