Dreams fall within the creative activity of our mind, we would be able to grasp their purpose, if we could understand the expectations of men for them. Picture: Marc Chagall: - The Dream (1938 - 1939) - Symbolism: the painter regards the dream as a bridge which allows him to meet his wife again. The elongated Eiffel Tower above the painter's head (the dream) represents the instrument through which the protagonist revives the moments of his life shared with his wife (the purpose.)

For how much it costs me, but there are only two schools of thoughts dealing with the interpretation of dreams and struggling to adopt a comprehensive and scientific approach.

The two schools which claim their ability to understand and interpret dreams are the School of Freudian Psychoanalysis and the School of Individual Psychology.

Perhaps, only the assumptions of Individual Psychology correspond to common sense.

The early attempts to understand the meaning of dreams had no scientific basis, however, they are still worth being examined, because they show at least the approach of men to their dream and to dream in general.
