DREAM
A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions and
sensations that occur usually involuntarily in the mind at certain stages of
sleep. According to Sigmund Freud, the world famous Austrian psychologist,
"Dreams are manifestations of our deepest desires and anxieties, often
relating to repression," In his famous book The Interpretation of Dreams
(1899),Freud comments that dreams are- "the royal road to the
unconscious" and "disguised fulfilments of repressed wishes".
According to another psychologist, Fritz Perls : "Dreams are seen as
projections of parts of the self that have been ignored, rejected or
suppressed." In the ancient times, the Greeks, the Romans and the
Egyptians thought dreams to be a symbol of omens ánd. divine prophesies. In the
Hindu Upanisad, dreams are interpreted as a means of spiritual meditation and
mystic relation. But the modern concept suggests that dreams are the result of
our brains trying to interpret external stimuli in sleep. About the natures and
types of dreams scientists opine that dreams may have varying natures, such as
being frightening, exciting, magical, happy, mełancholic, adventurous,
romantic, sexual, supernatural, etc. Some dream experts regard dreams to be
meaningless and purposeless while others find a positive impact of dreams and
believe that dreams serve to 'clean up' clutter from the mind, much like clean
up operations in a computer, refreshing the mind to prepare for the next day.
However, dreams are still mysterious which need yet further researches and investigations
to sátisfy human. inquisitiveness.
