Dream psychology explanation

Dream psychology is incredibly interesting and, unfortunately, is too often dismissed today as hogwash, when its workings actually make a lot of sense.

Everything we experience during the day is stored in our subconscious. Not only the things we read, see, hear, taste, smell, but also our insecurities, fears, doubts, plans and wishes.

When we sleep, all the new impressions gained during the day are mixed with the range of information that was already stored in our subconscious. 

During our sleep, when our subconscious is at rest, by way of processing comes up through the subconscious. These are our dreams.

So our dreams actually consist of newly gained impressions, mixed with our own hopes and fears and a range of memories from childhood to the present.

This is the reason why our dreams contain clues about what occupies us consciously and subconsciously. 

A personal dream analysis is therefore a very good way of using dream psychology to hold up a mirror to yourself in order to find out why you dream what you dream and, above all, what message you can take from this for yourself.
