Freud's Theory of Dreams

Freud's Theory of Dreams suggests that dreams are expressions of our unconscious desires, thoughts, and conflicts. He believed that during sleep, the mind disguises these hidden feelings through symbols and imagery, which are often rooted in childhood experiences. Dreams serve as a way for the unconscious to communicate with the conscious mind, revealing suppressed emotions or unresolved issues. Although dreams may seem random or strange, Freud argued they have underlying meaning, offering insight into our true motivations and inner conflicts that we might not be aware of when awake.
