By the term "dream" s "generally means that" experience that is lived every night.That film that is reproduced in our mind and that can involve known people and places already visited or set in a world foreign to us. However, the dream very often becomes synonymous with hope. Being able to reach a certain goal, being able to accomplish a certain enterprise and firmly believing in one's projects are all wishes defined as "daydreams". By doing so, a dream can spur us in everyday life to commit ourselves to reach the goals that we consider important.

Given the various shades of meaning it can take, we have collected some of the most beautiful phrases and most important aphorisms of the great authors. Each one demonstrates how the concept of dreams can be declined in different ways, always subject to change but no less fascinating.

Phrases about what the dream is

Philosophers, thinkers, scientists and even writers have often wondered what dreams actually are. There is one who, like Freud, has analyzed it from the psychoanalytic point of view, trying to show which message of the mind is hidden behind it. For others, however, the dream is life itself or it would coincide with hope. Like all abstract concepts, dreams escape a single definition and this makes them even more fascinating. Here are some sentences that summarize the thought of the great authors of the past and present.

The most beautiful phrases and quotes on the relationship between dreams and reality

In the various investigations on dreams, there are those who have affirmed that the latter can be understood as a projection of reality, where each of us would find the representation of their desires and hopes. All this has created a collective imagination according to which the boundaries between dream and reality are not always clear and defined. Indeed, very often they would get confused, no longer able to distinguish when one is awake and when, instead, one is living in the realm of the night and of "fantasy". We have drawn some of the most meaningful aphorisms of the great authors on this aspect.

Phrases and aphorisms on the importance of dreaming and believing in one's dreams

Finally, perhaps the most important topic when it comes to the world of dreams: the importance of believing in them and always working hard to make them come true.
