Abstract
Dreams were motives for travel (Riḥla) during medieval Islam in literary and historical contexts. This article addresses this common motive in the opposite direction, and focuses on travel as a stimulus for dreams. It shows how dreams are actually journeys, but in two different spatial/temporal dimensions. To this end, this article uses contradictory examples to prove that the dream can achieve certain travel objectives such as pilgrimage, knowledge, trade, therapy and the construction of a new identity.
