Most people never give much thought to where and why dreams they have come about. They often tell a friend or a family member about the dream because it is “weird” or it was a “crazy” dream but after the dream is done being told they forget about it. Freud, in his excerpt “On Dreams”, gives us a way to help understand dreams that when after waking up and looking back on it gives us a bit of confusion. He tells us that every dream we have comes from a thought, may not be obvious, or a event that has happened that maybe insignificant to you but unconsciously effects your thoughts. This, to me, makes sense because when Freud breaks down a dream he had himself he breaks down the context of the dream seperately and he found events or items that may have caused him to dream that. Though this may not be true, it makes the most sense. Me myself, cannot think of a dream that has baffled me to a point where I became irritated. Most dreams I have, like many others, are dreams of something I want to occur in reality and not just in my dream world.
