The language of dreams consists of images of everyday life, which appear in dreams in a new form. These images can be explained in two ways: literal, when derived from dreams information correlated with the daily life and symbolic, in which information is "encrypted" (by means of symbols and signs). For example, seen in a dream flying means freedom and escape from everyday routine, and not a literal desire to fly.
