Probably one of the most interesting ideas among these theories is his theory of dream occurrence. Dreams occur in a state of "ego collapse" when the demands of the Id (imperative bodily needs) and Superego (conscience ego ideals) combine upon the Ego (personal desires and communicator from the Id to the Superego). In laymen's terms, a dream will occur when the unconscious wish is bound to the preconscious, instead of just being thrown away as we fall into a state of sleep. Many of Freud's theories still stands true today, but most of all in the area of defense mechanisms our body uses while we dream. If our minds have been dealing with too much denial, regression, or repression, it causes an internal conflict, a dream in this case, to take place. This prevents us from building up intolerable states of psychological tension in waking life. This is why, if one becomes overemotional, it actually works to "sleep it off." (Freud, pp. 68).
Most of the twentieth century dream studies have been focused on two topics: 1.) The physiological process of dreaming, and 2.), The content of the actual dreams. Physiological clues have been found by researchers as to when a dream is actually taking place. The peak time in the sleep cycle for dreaming is marked by a combination of rapid eye movement, a brain-wave pattern similar to that produced during wakefulness, and increased physiological activity, is known as "REM Sleep" (or the Dream state). (Robins and Tanck, pp. 293 1988).

difficulty remembering them. Naturally a connection was made to being awoken during the phase of REM and the ability to remember dreams.
Dreams and our unconscious Dream have been described as many different things. Everyone has their own belief as to what dreams actually mean. Sigmund Frued has his own theory. Adler has an extremely different theory from him. However, scientific research has proved many things about dreams. I...
