Dreams are always a mystery of human existence; they are vivid, surreal, and sometimes strange. Psychologists believe dreams serve various purposes. Some view them as reflections of our unconscious desires and fears, while others see them as a tool for our minds to interpret our experiences.
Dreams often suggest we are experiencing pressure or stress. A dream where you fall indicates apprehension about losing control or feeling insecure. And to dream of flying is a desire for freedom or a sense of power.
For one woman, dreams became crucial to her journey to a healthier life. She dreamed of running through fields and swimming in the sea every night.
Eventually, she decided to turn those dreams into reality, started running and swimming, and her mental health became more precise and positive. Ultimately, she learned that dreams are powerful tools for improving health.
There are different lists of the most common dreams and their possible meanings. The most frequent ones are: flying, falling, being chased, exhibiting naked in public, losing one’s teeth, being unfaithful, being hurt, having sex, and being trapped.
The dictionaries of dream interpretation are numerous and have precise meanings. For example, a dream with water (drinking or bathing on a beach) is happiness or creation. If the water takes the form of a lake, it means a sad life.
Psychology gives some importance to the interpretation of dreams. According to Sigmund Freud, although sometimes absurd and incoherent, dreams have meaning. Their purpose is to lead to the realization of a desire repressed by the individual.
While reason predominates over our emotions when awake, the reverse phenomenon occurs during sleep. In the world of dreams, emotions reign supreme. Our dreams reflect our state of mind, our worries, and our happiness. Dreams are an excellent source of inspiration for writers, actors, painters, and musicians.
