We’ve heard it time and time again, dream experts have been telling us that we should write down our dreams and try to analyze them because it might give us incling as to how we are living our lives right now and the directions that we may need to take in order to have a fulfilling life.

Harvard Medical School Assistant Professor of Psychiatry Dr. Deirdre Barrett said that only the dreamer can interpret the types of dreams that he or she had encountered last night. At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as universal interpretations of such. The personal factor of the dreams means that the dreamer can have that insight and it is up to him or her to act on those insights that could change their lives.

Barrett said that dreams can help one “think outside the box,” which could mean that problems could be solved in many ways.
