People for centuries have given meaning to their dreams. Even the famous psychotherapist from the nineteenth century Carl Jung opened the door on the subject of dreams, claiming that they are a portal to the subconsciousness.
But, the science focuses on what happens during our sleep. A group of Japanese scientists make some research and concluded that we see our dreams in the same way as we perceive the outside world when we are awake.

Maybe a new job, a new home? Dreaming of teeth and their condition means how you take care of yourself and how much stress is there in your life.

Dreams can be interpreted and analyzed in million ways, but the bottom line is, only the dreamer can truly understand their meaning.
The body, mind, and spirit are all connected and they help a person shape their own world and their dreams. The mind dictates how our emotions are played during our sleep.
