Is it possible that dreams are just wishful thinking during sleep? It is the most simplistic interpretation of dreams and it may be true. But I am not sure.

I don't see how dreams can be "wishful thinking" given the dreams many of us have. Sure, plenty of my dreams have been fun, but others have been truly terrible, too. A lot of anxiety ones, too.

But even if every single dream was just a shallow reflection of our fears & desires, they still have a lot to tell us about ourselves and our lives.

Wish fulfillment, yes, sometimes. When we want something very much, our dreams give it to us at times....nothing wrong with that.
Dreams don't 'lie'. They reflect.

Some of my dreams have not been related to my current situation at all. I was expecting answers in my dreams and it seems I received what I wanted to receive. I thought dreams always told you what you needed to know, but sometimes they tell you what you want to know, just to relieve you!
