Dreams are considered as a universal experience when we are asleep wherein our state of consciousness is still there since we are able to use our sensory, cognitive, and emotions. There are a lot of people who dig deeper with their dreams and have the strong desire to have its interpretation. It has been said that understanding the truth behind our dreams could help us realize what we truly feel and think. 

The book of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud entitled, “The Interpretation of Dreams” in 1899 presents his theory of unconsciousness in connection to the interpretation of dreams. He is known for his statement, “The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.” He is typically interested in studying the minds of people when they are unconscious because these can give hidden insights and knowledge. There are various perceptions of people about dreams – there are some who just ignore its existence and some would love to bring the desire of our unconscious minds.
