Since the dawn of time, dreams have been a source of mysterious wonder among people. Everyone dreams, and those who claim not to do so are indeed dreaming, but they are unable to remember their dreams. Before psychological research, dreams were interpreted and explained as unconscious desire, predictions, or subliminal messages. These outdated beliefs existed throughout time until new psychological research emerged. New psychological research by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung gave rise to new dream theories that led to a better understanding of dream interpretations. Sigmund Freud's study of dreams focuses on the hidden and symbolic messages that appear in dreams. In his book Interpretation of Dreams, Sigmund Freud analyzes the meaning of dreams to better understand personality. Freud believes that nothing happens by chance and that an individual's action is motivated by unconsciousness. His theory states that dreams allow us to reach and connect to our subconscious. Sigmund Freud classified the hidden and symbolic messages that appear in a person's dream into five processes. These five processes are displacement, projection, symbolization, condensation and rationalization. Displacement is defined in the dream explanation as an individual having a desire towards another and is symbolized in the dream by something else. Projection is very similar to displacement in which a person inflicts their own desire on another individual. However, symbolization is the opposite of displacement and symbolization. It is the repression of such desires. Condensation is when an individual unconsciously masks their own feelings and desires in a dream, with a different meaning.

Jung believes that dreaming is a passage into a person's unconsciousness and that the problems one suffers from in one's waking life are represented in one's dreams. The individual can use the dream as a guide to help them discover solutions in their dreams to problems that may not seem feasible in their waking life. By interpreting and discussing the content of dreams, Carl Jung believes it is possible to reveal the mysterious message of the dream. There are many theories about dream interpretations. These theories help to better understand an individual's dream and can help understand hidden messages. Although Freud's and Jung's dream theories are outdated, they contributed to the rise of the study of dreams in psychology..
