DISCUSSION ON FREUDIAN AND JAIN ........ : 41 dreaming in relation to their effects on several natural systems and life, need to be understood well. At present the available facts regarding dreams have two major cabinets. One is dealing with its spiritual or mythological aspect and another is exploring empirical psychological studies on dreams.

These two are wide and large compartments comprising multiple ideas that are contradictory or complementary and we can also say different from each other. To thread them all and to arrange them into a single chain of ideas is quite a difficult job but to look at them or study those on inter-disciplinary ground and the comparative reflection may give some new model of dream theory. In the article, two pioneer studies on dreams are taken, from two foundational grounds, one from an ancient domain i.e. Jainism and another from a modern age study i.e. Sigmund Freud's work. To study both in close observation reveals many insights to the researchers. Few of such insights are to be discussed in this chapter. Although this will function just like a sample how the two branches flourishing in a great distance of time and place interpret dreams. The influences that work behind are more important to study apart from the interpreter's way or method of interpretation. There can be two factors that work behind any interpretation, such as -
(1) Influences on the interpreter,
(2) Methodology of interpretation. Influences on the Interpreter It is the ground on which the interpreter is standing, make a pattern of interpretation. The interpreter interprets according to that pattern.

It is similar to what Wittgenstein called 'language game'.' It can be well understood by this theory that there will be
