Detailed explanation-1: -Hall believed and argued that “a dream was simply a thought or sequence of thoughts that occurred during sleep, and that dream images are visual representations of personal conceptions".
Detailed explanation-2: -Freud believed that the content of dreams is related to wish fulfillment and suggested that dreams have two types of content: manifest content and latent content. The manifest content is the actual literal subject matter of the dream while the latent content is the underlying meaning of these symbols.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lots of theories have been offered: dreams are used to regulate emotion, like dealing with fears; to consolidate memory, replaying things from your day to help remember them; to solve, or on the other hand to forget, real-world problems. Another theory suggests they help the brain predict its own future states.
