Timurid Period Dream interpretation was a norm during the Timurid period. This issue, despite its importance in understanding Iranian culture, has received not enough attention from researchers.

The purpose of the study is to gain more knowledge about the beliefs and ideas of the people and the cultural life of Iran in the Timurid period.
