Sigmund Freud said we act out our own dreams, but if you are only an actor you are not acting out your own dream. You are simply participating in someone else's dream.

Summary

This quote by Sigmund Freud suggests that when we engage in actions or behaviors, we are essentially bringing our own personal desires and motivations to life. However, if we are merely playing a role or following someone else's script and dream, we are not truly expressing ourselves or fulfilling our own aspirations. Freud highlights the importance of authenticity in pursuing our own dreams and desires, rather than merely being a passive participant in someone else's vision.
