Dreams are the one thing in the world that everyone has in common. No matter where one is from, he or she has undoubtedly dreamt while sleeping. What separates these unconscious encounters is how each individual interprets them. In Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, he claims that dreams act as wish fulfilment. While many may agree, the argument backing up this point of view is quite unreliable. Freud’s take on why people dream cannot be taken as fact because not all dreams are logical, all of his examples include people that he has a formed relationship with, and his focus on the dreams of children is unreliable. Freud looks at all dreams as wish fulfilment. What he fails to acknowledge is that not all dreams are logical and clear-cut.
