Have you ever witnessed something that you saw in your dreams coming true in real life ? Perhaps many of us experienced this situation , but had no idea how it happened . In this article , it is aimed to clarify such events and to eliminate the question marks in your mind under the concept of dreams .
Dream is a succession of images , ideas , emotions , and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep . İn ancient times dreams were thought to contain prophecies about the future . As a similar approach ; Alfred Adler claims that dreams have the function of helping to plan for the future rather than the past . Human mind is like an iceberg . The small part of the iceberg above water symbolizes consciousness , while the bigger part under the water symbolizes subconscious . Subconscious is the part of us that keeps our body functions working while we are asleep . İn periods when your life is under negative or positive influence , these effects are also reflected in subconscious . That is why dreams you have at such times in your life can be unsettling or peaceful .
Sigmund Freud is the first person that comes to mind when dreams are considered in a psychological perspective . The most discussed view on the meaning and importance of dreams is the “ psychoanalytic ” dream theory developed by Sigmund Freud . According to Freud , the events seen in dreams are implicit manifestation of unconscious desires .
As a result ; dreams have been a subject of curiosity from ancient times to the present day . The meaning and origin of dreams have changed over the centuries by using sources like mythology . People not being able to state precisely why they need dreams reflects how variable both dreams and their uses are .
