Girish Karnad, in his play The Dreams of Tipu Sultan, utilizes the idea of dreams to demonstrate the defeat of Tipu Sultan through his fantasies. The fantasies of Tipu Sultan can be deciphered as an image or a sign that centers around his destruction later on. The fantasies book (Khwab-nama) was plundered from Seringapatam alongside different books. The book was not in the library or the regal library in Seringapatam. It was found covered up in the bed office of Tipu King's royal residence, Lal Mahal, the destruction of which can be seen today before the Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple. Tipu, ruler, one of the most politically discerning and shocking figures in present-day Indian history. In the play he had four dreams; however, in history he has 37 dreams.
