Dream interpretation has long captivated the human imagination, serving as portals to realms beyond
our waking reality. From ancient civilizations to modern times, dreams have been regarded as profound
sources of insight, inspiration, and guidance. In this article, we embark on a journey of exploration into
the spiritual meaning of dreams, delving into their significance and the valuable messages they may
hold for our spiritual growth and understanding.

Freud distinguished between the manifest content and the latent content of dreams. The manifest
content consists of the events, images, and emotions experienced during the dream, while the latent
content represents the symbolic representation of unconscious desires and wishes. As per his theory of
dreams interpretation, Freud argued that dreams employ various defense mechanisms, such as
displacement, condensation, and symbolism, to disguise the true meaning of the latent content.
Symbolism, in particular, plays a significant role in dream interpretation according to Freud. He
suggested that certain objects or images in dreams may have deeper symbolic meanings that relate to
repressed desires or unresolved conflicts. For example, he associated phallic symbols with sexual
desires and suggested that common objects like stairs, tunnels, or houses could represent aspects of the
dreamer’s psyche.
