The idea that dreams are forms of wish fulfillment is the most popular theory today. Dreams are believed to be the result of our repressed conflicts and desires, which the brain tries to resolve during sleep.

The distinction between the remembered dream and the dream itself is important for lucid dreaming. To understand what dreaming is, we must experience them as they unfold. This is the heart of lucid dreaming: present-moment awareness of the dream world.
