A new theory on Dream Interpretation

 Here’s a new theory on dream interpretation that is at odds with the psychoanalytical theory that dreams are an expression of our subconscious.

dreams, it holds, are not a way of addressing the past, but of coping with the future. Professor Allan Hobson is a leading psychiatrist from Harvard, who pioneered research into Rapid Eye Movement sleep, the period when we are closest to waking, and during which we dream the most. His new model, called “protoconsciousness”, argues that dreaming is not an unconscious process, but a conscious one: not a way of working through unresolved issues, but of preparing for the day ahead.
