According to the ancients, dreams are the way that gods and devils communicate with mortals. Freud called dreams the mirrors of unconscious desires, and modern experts tend to regard them as reflections of repressed fears. We spend about a third of our lives asleep, and most of that time, we're dreaming. Why do we dream, and what do our dreams mean? This guided tour of the collective unconscious explains scientific theories concerning dreams, including physiological as well as psychological factors.
