Sleep and Dreams, are the two states of which we know precious little.

Sigmund Freud, in his attempt to interpret the Dreams, has set up a system of Psychiatry, blames every one for their actions but themselves.

He had interpreted Dreams only as an expression of Sex and depressed desires.

Jung professed 'Freud conceived the unconscious solely as a repository of repressed emotions and desires. Jung agreed with Freud's model of the unconscious, what Jung called the "personal unconscious", but he also proposed the existence of a second, far deeper form of the unconscious underlying the personal one. This was the collective unconscious, where thearchetypes themselves resided, represented in mythology by a lake or other body of water, and in some cases a jug or other container. Freud had actually mentioned a collective level of psychic functioning but saw it primarily as an appendix to the rest of the psyche'

Then we have many Behavioral Psychologists.

These scholars saw Mind as a Blind seeing An Elephant" seeing a part and interpreting it to suit them.

Patanjali goes to the basics.

Since we do not remember anything in sleep, is Sleep 'Absence of Thoughts?'

He says NO.
