The interpretation of dreams is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. In many ancient societies, such as Egypt and Greece, dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine intervention, whose message could be interpreted by people with these associated spiritual powers.
In modern times, several schools of psychology and neuro-biology have offered theories on the meaning and purpose of dreams. Today, most people interpret the content of dreams according to the Freudian dream theory in countries, as is clear from a study conducted in the United States, India and South Korea.
People seem to believe that dreams are particularly meaningful: they attach more meaning to dreams than to similar waking thoughts. For example, people report that they would be more likely to cancel a planned trip involving an airplane flight if they dreamed that their plane crashed last night than if they thought their plane crashed last night or if the National Security issued a federal warning.
However, people do not attach equal importance to all dreams. People seem to use reasoned reasoning when interpreting their dreams. They are more likely to see dreams that confirm their beliefs and desires to awaken to be more meaningful than dreams that contradict their beliefs and desires to awaken.
