Dreaming
is a part of life. Everyone dreams. They dream for as long as they live.
"That can't be true," some will say. " People who say
this just don't remember having dreamed once they have woken up. Even
unborn babies dream in their mother's womb.
Dreams
are the gateway to an inner world, a world just as real as the one
outside. What is outside is also inside; what is inside is also outside.
Dreams inform us in a visual language about repressed experiences and
other process of the unconscious. Dream images and activities,
however strange and even meaningless they may seem, show symbolic
structures. Scientific research into dreams, compared dream material
with its symbolic content. Dreams became psychotherapy's most
important aid in exploration of the unconscious. A knowledge of the
meaning of these symbols is of great assistance in the interpretation of
dreams.
