Jung’s ideas about the latent content of dreams to develop the thesis that states, what is hidden from our minds in the day-world becomes manifest in living color in our dreams (Para. 1). Reading Kushner’s thesis confirmed my ideas about what the underlying meaning of our dreams really are. According to Jung, “Our darkest dreams might contain imagery that illustrate our internal conflicts and…

Dreams, as we perceive them, are a sequence of images, notions, sentiments, feelings, thoughts, and impressions that occur spontaneously and unintentionally throughout sleep.

Next, there was Carl Jung, who proposed another perspective giving people insight to the meaning of dreams.

He used the term 'dream-work' to describe the ways in which dreams materialize from the unconscious and argued that dreams reflect desires (primarily sexual) which are supressed by the superego in order for the ego to develop as a social individual. There are instances however, when desires often escape from the unconscious and are revealed through slips of the tongue or within dreams themselves. The content of a dream is produced by 'dream-thoughts' and…

Dreams, I myself was never really interested in my own dreams until one night not too long ago I woke up with that unmistakable anxious feeling that one has after experiencing an unpleasant dream. It made me realize that I don’t talk about my dreams the good or the bad to anyone. Neither do most other people. That is because we as sophisticated adults tend to act as if bad dreams or any dreams at all are reserved for small children. Almost as if dreams were an unspoken taboo. However, dreams are…

Dreams are personal and different for everyone, just like how each and every one of you is not exactly the same as anyone else in the world. With this in mind, psychologists have tried to come up with theories to try and figure out the meaning of dreams to individuals and interpret symbols seen in dreams in order to understand the mind. This process is called dream interpretation and this is a relatively new concept. In the book called “Private Myths” by Anthony Stevens, it says that experts and…
