Psychologists and dream experts have pondered the subject for years, going back and forth about what these commonly held dreams can mean on a psychological level.Īustrian psychologist Sigmund Freud believed that a person’s dreams reflected their unconscious desires, anxieties, and opinions. However, the subject of these dreams (and patterns therein) are dependent on verbal retelling, as such there is no concrete proof.
