One study found that psychological needs may play a part in determining the content of dreams.
This suggests that the concerns of daily life are indeed reflected in the content of our dreams.
Research has also suggested that the contents of our dreams are not invented out of thin air.
Instead, researchers must rely onself-reportsfrom dreamers.
This then leads to questions of whether these reports can accurately convey the subjective experiences of the dream.
Particularly since many dreams are forgotten immediately or shortly after awakening.
