At the threshold of a new millennium and 100 years after the publication of Sigmund Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams" we want to devote this Congress to the subject of dreams, myths and their "realness".

We are witnessing an ongoing global discourse on coping with emotional crises and living circumstances. This Congress seeks answers and solutions and presents new developments.
