Dreams and unconscious

Dreams are mental experiences that occur during sleep, often involving vivid images, thoughts, and emotions. They are influenced by our unconscious mind—a part of us that contains feelings, memories, and desires not fully in our awareness. The unconscious influences our dreams by processing unresolved conflicts or hidden motivations. While the conscious mind manages daily tasks and reasoned thinking, the unconscious operates below awareness, shaping thoughts and behaviors subtly. Understanding the unconscious and dreams can offer insights into aspects of ourselves that might be hidden or unexamined, providing a deeper understanding of our inner thoughts and emotional states.
