What are dreams? Random series of scenes, trivial or tragic, moving or static, fantastic or ordinary scenes, which are more or less realistic events are dulled with grotesque details and dead in new scenery.
Dreams are depicted as a chaotic mixture of random images and scenarios, ranging from mundane to dramatic. They can be vibrant or lackluster, often blending elements of reality with bizarre or exaggerated details. This chaotic interplay captures the essence of our subconscious mind, expressing emotions and thoughts that may not be straightforward or easily understood.
