What is your opinion of dream interpretation?

Question

I love reading about peoples' dreams though I have nothing to contribute. I note there are two camps, broadly speaking. Those who love dream interpretation, and those who shrug and say "Get over yourself, it's just a dream."

What do you think of the whole phenomenon of dream interpretation?

Answer 1

Well, Freud said that "Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious mind". By this he meant that our dreams give us signs about what we need to do, or have done that we didn't pay attention to.

On the other hand, dreams can be prophetic in nature where they forewarn of what might happen in the future.

In a telepathic sense, we can dream about someone who has been thinking about us, that we wouldn't usually think of, or we could dream about someone saying goodbye, then wake up to hear the news of his death.

Every culture or group view dreams in their own way, and their importance cannot be undermined.

Hope that answers your question
