Understanding Dreams and Thought Patterns
Dreams are reflections of our current state of mind and quality of thinking, not necessarily indicators of deeper meanings. They serve as evidence that we are always thinking, even unconsciously during sleep. People's reactions to dreams vary, with some enjoying nightmares for their creativity while others find them distressing.
