Expert’s opinion
Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, reviewer and certified psychiatrist of ThePleasantDream, commented, “dreams are a representation of one’s unconscious desires, wishes, and motivations. Besides, every dream is aligned with the current events of waking life, and probably that could be the reason people see “dream about current events in my life.”
She further adds, “there are so many problems people face in their daily life. Probably that could be why they encountered the dream to seek solutions through their dreams.”
