WhatIs a Dream?
For centuries, people have wondered about thestrange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that thisnighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others，however，think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many expertsbelieve that dreams can tell us about a person’s mind andemotions.
Before modern times, many people thought thatdreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century thatpeople started to study dreams in a scientific way.
The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud1，wasprobably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book,The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expressionof a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allowpeople to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid toexpress in real life.
The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung2 was once a studentof Freud’s. Jung，however，hada different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was tocommunicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more aboutthemselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream aboutfalling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On theother hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think toolittle of themselves.
Modern-day psychologists continue to developtheories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from theUniversity of California, Santa Cruz，believes thatdreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life,thoughts, and behavior. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.
Domhoff believes that there is a connectionbetween dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as muchas adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time todevelop.
He has also found a link between dreams andgender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. Forexample, the people in men’s dreams areoften other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true ofwomen’s dreams.3 Domhoff found this gender differencein the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including bothmodern and traditional ones.
Can dreams help us understand ourselves?Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways.However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that something terrible isgoing to occur, you shouldn’t panic. Thedream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event willactually take place. It’s important toremember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
