From the Paper:

"Despite this, however, there are still many arguments as to what dreams actually mean and whether they mean anything at all. Opinions differ - sometimes quite strongly - on meaning and value when it comes to dream interpretation. This is unfortunate for those trying to study dreams because the information that they find is often confused and conflicting. However, it is not unexpected that these differences of opinion would be quite strong because individuals have so many specific ways of looking at things and many people are still of the mind-set that they are correct and that everyone else is wrong."
