[It is called e)nu/pnion "in sleep"] inasmuch as one is sleeping. But [we call] o)/neiros [a dream] which, when sleep ceases, wakes and stirs up [o)ri=non] the soul. Or [it is derived] from ei)/rein, which means to speak.¹
"Dreams excite the witless."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐνύπνιον· ἐφ' ὅσον τις ὑπνοῖ. ὄνειρον δὲ παυομένων τῶν ὕπνων, ἐγεῖρον καὶ ὀρῖνον τὴν ψυχήν. ἢ παρὰ τὸ εἴρειν, ὅ ἐστι λέγειν. ὅτι ἐνύπνια ἀναπτεροῦσιν ἄφρονας.
