Zaqar

In Mesopotamian mythology, Zaqar meaning to speak also known as Dzakar Zaqiqu or Ziqiqu and his sister "Mamu", meaning "dream", are the messengers of the moon god Sin. He relays these messages to mortals through his power over their dreams and nightmares. The Babylonians believed that if you spoke in your sleep it could be the work of Zaqar. Zaqar is also believed to have wrote the "Iškar Zaqīqu" or the dream book. The ancient Akkadian's believed that dreams where the messages of the gods and many dreams where considered warnings. Zaqar's responsibility was to send these messages to the appropriate human recipients.
