What are dreams for?

The previous thoughts are quite valid.  In this light, the
study of Sigmund Freud might be appropriate here.  To succinctly address it, Freud
believed that our dreams hold much in way of understanding our own senses of self, our
desires, and our state of being in the world.  In a constant battle between who we are
and what social expectations tell us to be, Freud believed that dreams were the only
release for this and the development of psychotherapy was a field devoted to "talking
out" the exploration of these dreams.  In this light, dreams are designed as elements
that can better understand who we are and what is inside the deep and intricate crevices
of our psyches.  Dreams become the one realm where we are "free" to reflect these
realities that might be tucked away from the social perception of others, and perhaps,
even ourselves.  In this light, dreams serve a vitally important
purpose.
