Hi Medkev, in Freud's view, dreams are the Royal Road to the Unconscious (seeing the unconscious as animalistic, instinctual, or sexual). Ugh. I hope not.
I prefer Jung's sunnier more positive take on it: a way of communicating and acquainting yourself with the unconscious. And that dreams are not attempts to conceal your true feelings from the waking mind, but rather they are a window to your unconscious (they serve to guide the waking self to achieve wholeness and offer a solution to a problem you are facing in your waking life). Awwww.
