WORLD OF DREAMS
• Theories of dream interpretation
– Freud’s theory of dream interpretation
• we have a “censor” that protects us from realizing
threatening and unconscious desires or wishes,
especially those involving sex or aggression

transforming our secret, guilt-ridden and anxietyprovoking desires into harmless symbols that
appear in our dreams and do not disturb our sleep
or conscious thoughts
WORLD OF DREAMS (CONT.)
• Theories of dream interpretation
– Extensions of Waking Life Theory
• dreams reflect the same thoughts, fears, concerns,
problems, and emotions that we have when awake
– Activation-Synthesis Theory
• dreaming occurs because brain areas that provide
reasoned cognitive control during the waking state
are shut down
• sleeping brain is stimulated by different chemical
and neural influences that result in hallucinations,
delusions, high emotions, and bizarre thought
patterns that we call dreams
