According to psychoanalysts, dreams are a way that our unconscious finds to manifest itself and try to show something that is kept, hidden. It is a great tool for us to gain access to our internal world. But it is not easy to interpret dreams, precisely because they show us material that was previously inaccessible.
We can define the dream as being a play put on by our unconscious. It is he who chooses the characters, the setting and the script, but this is not accidental. When we wake up in the middle of the dream, it means that his work failed, because he could not hide contents that were accepted by the dreamer without being scared.
It is essential to dream. Paganism and various religions saw the dream as a way of premonition of the future and divine revelations. Nowadays, however, neuroscience diminishes this value and interprets them as just a neurological discharge, having no meaning and being completely random.
Individuals who do not usually dream have great difficulty connecting with their internal world. In general, in these individuals, this connection with the internal world is manifested through somatization. Most of them have psychosomatic illnesses (when there is an illness initiated by the mind, whether physical or not).
Not all people can remember dreams. And this can happen for several reasons. The first is that he may not have meant much to you. Another reason is because the dreamer has a certain restriction or difficulty in connecting with the inner world. There is no proper frequency for dreams. And even bad dreams are good, as your unconscious had the need to put you in touch with a situation or content that you consider difficult, but it was essential that you learn to deal with it.
There are several techniques for interpreting dreams.
According to psychoanalysis, each dream is linked with the dreamer and the moment in which he is living. However, he can never be examined literally, not least because what you see from him is not exactly the message he wants to convey.

For example, if you dreamed about a car accident that your father would die, it doesn't mean he will die in real life. It is very likely that your unconscious wants or needs your father to die, because you may be feeling overwhelmed, withdrawn and he is an obstacle for you to take control of your life and yourself.
