Dreaming is described as a universal human phenomenon that can be collective, communal, and emancipatory, not just individual. A 2018 study of a large database of subjective reports found that hallucinogen drugs elicit experiences with the highest semantic similarity to dreams. In that analysis, LSD showed the highest similarity to high-lucidity dreams, while Datura plants showed the highest similarity to low-lucidity dreams. The 2009 conceptual paper notes that while individual dreaming is extensively studied, the participatory nature of dreaming as a unitary phenomenon is limited in the literature. These sources do not establish a universal meaning or explain why you had this particular dream.
