Opposing Sigmund Freud’s concept of libido and sexuality regarding an individual’s unconsciousness, Carl Jung argued that the concept of mental energy seemed more applicable. Jung believed that dreams do not reflect a child’s unrealized wishes, but are mythological stories and images from the experiences of our ancestors. His take on psychoanalysis was called analytical psychology in which Jung expressed his ideas of the collective unconscious, archetypes, and psychological types. The collective…
we bust open still more doors of perception. Some people who experienced “lucid dreams” were helping researchers discover more about sleeping brains. Lucid dreaming, we explained, is the state of being asleep but aware you are dreaming. Some dreamers were so adept that they could count to 10 within their dream while signalling to the (awake) researchers the start and end of the count.

If this seems disappointingly banal you only have yourself to blame, since many aspects of dream content are thought to be reflections of your emotional slate in regular, awake life. Whatever you care most about during non-sleepy times is likely to appear with special frequency in your dreams. So if that really is a large,…
