Letter: A dream's purpose may be very individual

Published 25 November 2020

From Annie Macdonald, London, UK

As a psychotherapist with 25 years’ experience, I was intrigued by the idea that dreams could have a single purpose (7 November, p 34). I have seen that dreams are more than just noise. Context is all. The purpose and the meaning of one individual’s dream will be different to a similar dream from another person.
