Modern dream interpretation was first represented by Sigmund Freud in his popular monograph The Interpretation of Dreams. This approach by Feud was the first broad approach to understanding dreams. Freud highlighted the analysis of dreams as a means to freeing the unconscious, and felt that dreams were fundamentally comprised of repressed psychological material.
In modern psychoanalysis, the role of dream interpretation has been reduced by focusing on other aspects of psychoanalytic views. Nevertheless, dreams, and their interpretation, continue to provide a powerful therapeutic focus. Many studies have underlined the importance of dreams in psychoanalysis, and therapeutic work in general. Further, a growing body of literature supports the continuity hypothesis of dreams from sleep to waking reality. The continuity hypothesis suggests that the content of dreams is not remote from the waking reality, but, rather, representing the most prominent feelings, interests and concerns of the individual.
