Dream is a sequence of scenes and feelings occurring in the mind during sleep. They are typically associated with the R.E.M. state of sleep. R.E.M. is characterized by rapid eye movements and low-amplitude and irregular EEG patterns similar to those found in the waking brain. (Nairne, pp.233). What it will be examined in this paper it will be a brief synopsis of the most important theories and facts about dream interpretations. We’ll talk about the stimuli and sources of dreams (External Sensory excitations, Internal Sensory Excitations, Internal Organic Somatic Stimuli, and Psychical Sources Of Stimulation).
We also are going to mention the methods of interpreting dreams (Symbolic & Decoding Methods) and what happens in the interpretation when not all the facts of a dream are remembered. And at last we are going to talk about the death dreams and the consciousness and unconsciousness.
The most important factors of the production of dreams lead to four kinds of sources, which are:
External sensory excitations are occurred when we go to sleep. What we do is that we close ïõr most important sensors, our eyes.
The second category has to do with the wish fulfillment of the death of the person that is involved in the death dream. That doesn’t mean that at the present time you wish the death of your loved ones. A wish can go back many years, even to your childhood. This changes when it comes down to children.
Dreams are wish fulfillments that come through repressed feelings. There are many ways to interpret a dream but the most popular ones are the symbolic procedure and the decoding procedure. The past and the present of the dreamer has to be taken under consideration for a more accurate interpretation.
