From the Paper:

"Dream interpretation has been a topic of debate for many years. Some psychologists have examined the process of dreams and what they may mean as a method of therapy, while others have discounted the possibility as foolishness(Myers, 2006). Psychics have used dream interpretation for years to help their clients decide what choices they should make in life and to tell them what the future holds for them.
There have been countless books written on the psychological meaning of dreams and what various dream events mean for the dreamer. Falling is said to mean uncertainty about one's future while a changing relationship is represented in a dream by the death of a loved one(Abram, 2000)."
