Dreams were well known to the lives of man as it was part of their daily lives, they sleep at night, having their dreams continuously playing in their minds up all night, waking up cutting short the dreams they had, trying to remember hardly what did they dreamt of last night or before the moment they wake up. Dreams are very essential and a part of man’s everyday life, and they have no idea that these dreams can also contain messages and interpretations that may affect their lives, and the messages these dreams convey, they are called dream interpretations.

According to Cherry (2017), dreams are very mysterious, but by understanding its meanings, it can be downright baffling. That even certain theories exists to explain the reason of dream, no one fully understands its true purpose, and the fact that dreams are very rich and compelling which causes many to believe that there must be some meaning to our dreams.
