PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Sigmund Freud’s theory of dreams suggests that dreams represent unconscious desires, thoughts, wish fulfillment, and motivations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dreams are wish fulfillments. Freud’s most well-known theory, wish fulfillment, is the idea that when wishes can’t or won’t be fulfilled in our waking lives, they are carried out in dreams. Even anxious or punishing dreams have their roots in wish fulfillment, according to Freud. Dreams are fleeting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Based on these observations, Freud began to believe that sleeping dreams were nearly always, like day-dreams, wish fulfillment. Freud had always been an active dreamer, and much of his self-analysis focused on dreams, convincing him conclusively in the wish-fulfillment theory.

Detailed explanation-4: -The continual-activation theory proposes that dreaming is a result of brain activation and synthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Expectation fulfillment theory posits that dreaming serves to discharge emotional arousals (however minor) that haven’t been expressed during the day. This practice frees up space in the brain to deal with the emotional arousals of the next day and allows instinctive urges to stay intact.
