As soon as a person falls asleep, he goes through several stages of sleep and ultimately plunges into another reality. Events can develop rapidly, and what is happening is beyond doubt. The last phase of sleep changes consciousness.

Sigmund Freud's work pays great attention to the interpretation of dreams. A well-known psychotherapist recommends analyzing the individual stages of sleep, disassembling them into elements and images. Each event and important detail needs to present its interpretation and describe the sensations. Those associations that come to mind must be recorded one by one. Based on the perceived images, a real analysis of the dream takes place. According to Freud, in an dream the individual is freed from controlling emotions. After a busy day, a person relaxes and lets go of thoughts on a free flight. Those moments that unconsciously disturb a person, but did not find proper attention during wakefulness, come to the fore. That which a person does not admit to himself in reality, in an altered state of consciousness comes to him in the form of certain images and symbols. All suppressed emotions also appear.

No less talented psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung defines a dream as a small door, behind which the most hidden secrets of human consciousness are hidden. During wakefulness, the human consciousness cognizes individual experiences, it shares everything. In a dream, the unifying integrity of life is manifested: the experiences of the past and present surface. According to Jung's theory, dreams express what the conscious mind of a person does not understand and does not know. Sometimes these images are peculiar and show something that does not lend itself to logic, but reflect the true consciousness of a person.

There is a special theory of the interpretation of dreams according to Carlos Castaneda. In the last century, an American anthropologist, after meeting with the shaman Don Juan, begins to practice lucid dreams. Under the guidance of a teacher, he has been training the ability to control the process of falling asleep for many years. The main task that confronts him is to clearly understand, being in a dream, that he is sleeping. Thanks to long practices, Castaneda began to consciously control his actions and the development of events in a dream. According to the teachings of Don Juan, an altered state of consciousness implies a lack of appreciation for the current reality and a holistic perception of the world. In his dreams, Carlos visits amazing worlds, and achieves this with an altered state of consciousness through control, attention and impeccable behavior.
