The meaning of the word “dream”
The word dream has more than one meaning. Firstly, a dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep. From ancient times, people considered dreams as gods’ messages and tried to interpret them. Nowadays, psychology considers dreams as highly meaningful. According to psychologist Alan Eiser, they reveal personal conflicts and emotional struggles in people’s everyday life.
But dreams have also a second metaphorical meaning. We call a dream something greatly desired. It’s a cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal. And, these dreams are equally essential too as they motivated all the big discoveries and innovations of human history. So, whatever dream we have, big or small, is always a courageous and hopeful decision to try to accomplish. As Carl Jung wrote, dreams are the guiding words of our souls.
