Abstract

The article discusses what dreams reveal about individuals. According to the author, the interpretation of dreams was considered by some psychoanalysts, such as Sigmund Freud, to be a window into an individual's unconscious mind. An overview of neuroscience of dreams and research that suggests that dreams are more than an window into the hidden self, but instead help individuals consolidate memories, make sense of experiences, and keep emotions in check is presented.
