How do we see our dreams?
neurologicals says:
According to the biological approach, our dreams are a result of random neurons firing in our brain. You see when you're asleep your brain sorts out the information you gained during the day. As it is doing this neurons from that day and your past memories and experiences are fired and randomly collide, resulting in the dreams that you see. This is why sometimes dreams don't make any sense at all! This is also why experts insist on the fact that sleep is very very important.
Psychologicals says:
According to Freud and the psychodynamic approach, people have repressed thoughts and feelings in their subconscious which we do not have any conscious access to. You see we have 3 parts in our personality, the Id, the ego and the superego. The Id is the child in us, it is the part of you that always says "I want I want" this part of you doesnt care about consequences. The superego is the voice that tells you not to do something because it is wrong. The superego, is your morals, rules, integrity and so on. Now the ego is what creates a balance between your Id and your superego. When they are in conflict the ego just takes the "issue" represses it in your unconscious mind.
Moving on...Dreams are referred to as the royal pathway to our unconscious. Because it is through dreams that our unconscious tries to give us a message about what is repressed. You see our body is clever, because what is repressed is usually unaccepted it stores it away to protect us (however this produces negative energy and affects your life without you being aware of this...for example, maybe you have an unreasonable fear of brushing your teeth).
Anyway, in our dreams, symbols are used to protect us from the truth. Each and every person uses their OWN and personal symbols, so if I see a snake it can mean something good but if YOU see a snake it can be something bad. Therefore in order to analyze your dreams, you try and see what these symbols are and what they mean to you...We dream because our subconscious is sending us messages about what is affecting us and what we need to deal with...
