Sigmund Freud tired to demystify the mystery behind dreams, in his book 'The Interpretation of Dreams' and now a further study into the realm of the subconscious has revealed that dreams can help in coming to terms with major events and in taking difficult decisions in life.
Dutch-sponsored researcher Elizabeth Mohkamsing-den Boer concluded that 'Dreams prepare your emotions' after her research into the function of dreams in indigenous Surinamese and Australian tribes.
This statement reaches to the heart of her study, namely the function of dreams during important changes in the lives of indigenous tribes in Suriname and Australia.
The researcher carried out literature studies and fieldwork to determine the function of dreams. Mohkamsing talked to men and women about their dreams and presents various case studies in her thesis.
Mohkamsing concludes that dreams have a facilitating and supportive role during important transitions in the course of life. She terms these 'transitional dreams' rjves de passage.
