Dream is always a complex state of consciousness like 'waking state' because in dream all external avenues are closed but in waking the picture is opposite. Randomly we know that all suppressed entities are coming in dream in a different mode for fulfilling desire. So, the question is why undesired entities are coming in dream if we aware in waking?
As you state "Dream is always a complex state of consciousness....", so why would you necessarily expect any bias of desire in the complexity? How does "..external avenues..." as opposed to whatever internal mental influences transpose unto desire?

2. Artemidorus Daldianus (Greek: Ἀρτεμίδωρος ὁ Δαλδιανός) or Ephesius was a professional diviner who lived in the 2nd century AD. He is known from an extant five-volume Greek work, the Oneirocritica or Oneirokritikon (English: The Interpretation of Dreams).

Here, 'complex' denotes that the awareness of consciousness and unawareness of consciousness. For example, sometimes we are aware that dreaming objects are unreal from the perspective of waking entity but simultaneously we are unaware of the presence of dreaming state ..why unaware ? because we negate the outcome dreaming data as unreal or nonexistent by our waking understanding....So my concern area is to rethink the reality of dreaming.
2. 'External avenues' means external interaction through external organs. In waking, mind is dependent on the external organs but in dream , mind is independent... according to scriptures, memory is the data of dream. But my question is if memory is the only data of dream then why are we seeing a new object in dream which is not the outcome of memory?
3. what the way you would explain the dreaming phenomenon from the perspective of psychiatry?
Thanos Didaskalou ...apart from Freudian understanding ...can you suggest any source where dream state has been discussed from the different standpoint?
