Many will argue that Freud's ideas exerted a profound influence on twentieth-century thought and culture, although his work has been scrutinized closely, it shaped the foundations of vision of society on civilization and discontent, dreams, psychoanalysis and the unconscious. For this article, I will discuss the foundations of Freud's dreams, what dreams represent, how they are constructed, and their meaning, paying close attention to the following areas of dreams, manifest and latent content, condensation and displacement, censorship, and repression. First, let's examine the definition of a dream according to Sigmund Freud “a dream is the disguised fulfillment of a repressed desire. Dreams are constructed as a neurotic symptom: they are compromised between the demands of a repressed impulse and the resistance of a censorious force in the ego” (Freud, 28). This simple means that all dreams represent the fulfillment of a wish by the dreamer. Dreams are the mental way to keep an individual asleep and to digest and process everything that happens in our brain, negative, positive, fears and unclear thoughts and actions. This created the foundation for dream work. Freud also points out that anxiety dreams and nightmares are also expressions of unconscious desire. Freud further went on to state that "the general function of the dream is to repel, by means of a sort of calming action, external or internal stimuli which would tend to wake the sleeper, and therefore to protect the sleep from interpretation" (Freud, 28) . This shows that a dreamer can dismantle his dream and analyze it, if he remembers it, once he is conscious. Time dreams are often strengthened by external or internal stimuli, or even repressed emotions are... at the center of the article ...of the dream and how dreams arise is undisputed, but I don't think that dreams are fundamental for unfulfilled desires. Like natural phenomena in the world, such as earthquakes, storms, thunder, etc., dreams are a natural occurrence in humankind and dreams are just the way our mind processes all the events in our lives and the daily activities in which we we are busy. The mind tries to solve or give a solution to problems that have not been solved throughout the day or years, as well as filling in important data. Because of this, there is so much unprocessed material in the brain that dreams become senseless when an individual wakes up because there is too much material to process, eliminate, or save. Therefore, dreams become confused and many dreams condense into one. Works Cited Sigmund, F. The Freud Reader. (1986). Back of the card. Printed and bound in the USA
