Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamerThus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.

Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance, the characters that appear in the dreams of men are often other men, and often involve physical aggression.

    The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understandIf you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.

A. Dreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.

B. However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
