Dreams represent a world of imagery in which our darkest fears, deepest secrets, and most passionate fantasies break out from the unconscious mind and only at this time become present to our own consciousness. But the meaning of dreams is much more complicated and thus very hard to interpret correctly. Some studies show that the substance of our dreams is dependent on a number of factors such as gender, social status, culture, and personality. The famous psychologist Sigmund Freud saw dreams as wish fulfillment: disguised ways to satisfy unconscious desires that are too upsetting to face consciously. Freud called dreams the “royal road” to the knowledge of the unconscious mind. Some modern psychologists consider dreams as random brain activity due to emotional state of the dreamer.
