dreaming [From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]
Dreaming is the subjective experience of imaginary images, sounds/voices, words, thoughts or sensations during sleep, usually involuntarily.
[...]
Dreams are full of imagery. This imagery ranges from the normal to the surreal; in fact, dreams often provoke artistic and other forms of inspiration. Forms of dream include the frightening or upsetting nightmare and erotic dreams with sexual images and nocturnal emission.

In his book, "The Interpretation of Dreams", Sigmund Freud determined that dream content was unconcious "wish fulfilment". These desires came from the "id", the childlike portion of the unconcious, and as such often contained material that would be unacceptable to the ego. For this reason, dreams were often disguised, and only by understanding the symbolism of the dream can you discover the true meaning. Freud used dream interpretation often to treat his patients, and called dreams "The royal road to the unconcious". Critics would point out that this hypothesis cannot explain nightmares, though many case studies, such as the "Ratman", show this method to be succesful.
