ABSTRACT
The Imaginal World is an isthmus between the corporeal and the Intellectual worlds. The Imaginal World is luminous and immaterial but resembles the corporeal world with respect to dimension and form, so it is imperceptible by the outer senses. The Disconnected Imaginal World is a reflection of the Permanent Archetypes in the Great World and exists independently of the human soul. The Imaginal World is also the most comprehensive of the worlds, as Ibn al-‘Arabisays, “the Presence of Imagination is the vastest of presences. The gnostic reads the existential books of God with clairvoyance through the light of faith. A dream is a vision in the Imaginal World with or without meaning. The dream is that which occurs when the senses have ceased to function, the imagination has begun to operate, and a certain object becomes visible to the one overcome by sleep.
