“Dream disfigurement, then, turns out in reality to be an act of the censor.”
— Sigmund Freud
Simplified Meaning:
When you have a dream and it seems strange or mixed up, it’s often because your brain is hiding certain thoughts or feelings from you. Think of it like a movie being edited to remove scenes that are too intense or inappropriate. For example, if you're worried about a big test, your dream might show you in a different but challenging situation that doesn't look like a test at all, because your brain is trying to soften the stress. This helps protect you from waking up scared or anxious. By understanding this, you can learn to look past the weirdness in your dreams and figure out what they might really be telling you. Applying this to your life, whenever you have a confusing dream, you might try to think about what feelings or worries could be behind it, instead of just brushing it off as nonsense.
