Dreams Reflections of Inner Reality and Self-Awareness
Abstract
Dreams, even after decades of study, are nonetheless a wide mystery. To understand this concept, this research piles a range of studies surrounding the psychology of dreams narrowing in on how dreams reflect the inner reality of dreamers narrowing on attaining self-discovery. Essentially, this is a case study gandering and discussing various case studies on the importance of self-discovery and how that can be achieved through dreams with a general to narrow analysis of dreams. Dream formation outlines the REM sleep state and sleep stages. Sigmund Freud and a brief summary of his life are recapped by an in-depth familiarity with psychoanalysis—what it is, how it works, and what it does to dreams. Next, the understanding of how dreams reflect a human’s unconscious thoughts, feelings, and emotions is delineated. Following will be a link between self-discovery through dreams and how that ameliorates well-being, along with a discussion of the paper. Finally, the limitations of this research and future implications are traced.
