It may happen that the dream takes the form of a premonition.<br />

This really happens, because details left unnoticed to the conscious mind<br />

have not escaped to the preconceived and unconscious, so the brain prepares<br />

itself to live a planned event in the imminent future, but comes into a more<br />

receptive and attentive state.<br />

Subcortical regions of our brain, which are ontogenetically more archaic,<br />

instinctively capture and lighten information that escapes the cerebral cortex,<br />

commonly referred to as "gray matter", is devoted to more sophisticated<br />

thought functions and therefore has more time to formulate, conceive, and<br />

interpret .<br />

Through <strong>dreams</strong>, unexplained emotions find space, possible outlets, and<br />

solutions.<br />

It becomes a probe that expands by giving space to the most desperate<br />

desires, legitimizing them.<br />

However, dream work can also take advantage of a function defined by<br />

Sigmund Freud as "dream-like censorship". Its effect can make mysterious,<br />

cryptic, and not-always-easy-toread "forbidden" desires that are not always<br />

accepted by the dreamer as congruent with his or her day-to-day life.<br />
