AbstractThe research aims to investigate cognition from the perspective of transcendental wisdom and cognitive psychology with a descriptive-analytical method and is an answer to the main question that "cognition in the Sadrai school and cognitive psychology, what identities and features are compatible or incompatible". Beyond the physical dimension of cognition, Sadra paid attention to other dimensions of human existence that are related to cognition, and by dividing cognition into presence and acquisition, he gave it an abstract dimension and argued. He proves the immunity of science and human knowledge. In cognitive psychology, only the physical dimension of cognition is mentioned, and this problem is analyzed from the physical method and paying attention to human experiential structures. Transcendental wisdom considers sense, heart, intellect, and the Qur'an to be the means of cognition, and the true knowledge of man is connected to revelation. Cognitive psychology considers the means of cognition to be only the five senses, which are related to the human nervous system. Consciousness, attention, language memory and decision-making are among the issues related to cognition. In the transcendental wisdom, imagination, while being a foundation for the creation of reason, is used in later stages as a tool to connect to the world of imagination, which has a dimension beyond the physical dimension; But in cognitive psychology, imagination is only a process of the nervous system to create images in the

Cognitive psychology is one of the important branches of psychology in which it deals with important concepts related to perception, language, comprehension and how information is processed. Since Mullā Ṣadrā is a thinker who has had many opinions about man; therefore, it is possible to extract his views in various fields of psychology.

Dream has always been an attractive issue for the people in various erras and psychologists have investigated it a lot in the past. However, most of the issues relating to dreams such as its nature and the reality of prophetic dreams are still ambiguous. Mulla Sadra as a philosopher and also as a psychologist has relatively considered it in his scientific works. This study, after reviewing the litrature and extracting the philosophic foundations of sleep and its psychological issues, has shown that given the Mulla Sadra's thoughts including principality of existence, gradation of existence, substantial motion, bodily origination, spiritual subsistence and consequently two-dimensionality of human as well as Mulla Sadra's belief in human authority, an appropriate structure is created for difining dream, types of dreams and source of dreams. It should be noted that though a number of Mulla Sadra's opinions regarding material dimension of human and considering one of the dimensions of human relatively corresponds to psychology, one can extract exact ideas and opinions regarding dreams and particularly prophetic dreams from the perspective of Mulla Sadra due to lack of existing immateriality in contemporary psychology.
