Most people across the world – specially in India believe that their dreams reveal meaningful hidden truths.

Almost 74% of us hold an old-fashioned Freudian view of dreams: that they are portals into the unconscious – a fact that a recent study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology has completely debunked.

Apparently everyday cognitions result from a complex but observable interaction of proteins and neurons and other mostly uncontrolled cellular activity and dreams therefore actually have no meaning.
