Identify the key concept being asked about in the problem, which is related to the interpretation of dreams.
Review the provided options: activation-synthesis hypothesis, psychoanalytic model, restorative theory, and adaptive theory.
Understand the activation-synthesis hypothesis: This theory suggests that dreams are the brain's attempt to make sense of random neural activity during sleep, essentially another form of thinking.
Consider the psychoanalytic model: This model, proposed by Freud, views dreams as a representation of unconscious desires and conflicts.
Evaluate the other options: Restorative theory and adaptive theory are not primarily focused on the cognitive process of dreaming, but rather on the functions of sleep itself.
