Dreams, Oh Dreams, How Relevant They Are to You!?

hello kamran bro ! hope your friend is fine now :) The mechanics of dreaming are now fairly well understood--the bits of the brain which are activated.It is not,ofcourse known why we dream only that we need to dream beacause dream deprivation is most damaging. In other words Dreams are symolic of your deep inner thoughts and subconsconsious mind.Everything we dream symbolizes wht we love,fear,desire and hate. Dreaming concepts varies with every individual. I dont believe that concepts have fixed meanings from one dreamer to next.I believe its dependent on the dreamer himself/herself.That is to say,concepts in dreams represent felings you have.To interpret the concept,you must ask yourself what feelings those concepts evoke in you,and then figure out what,inreal life,gives you that same feeling.Thats's what the concept represents. If for example,you dream about marriage.what feeling does that evoke in you?fear?trepidation?excitement?worry?longing? Is there anthing in your current life that is causing you that same exact feeling?are u worried about your career path? Deciding betwen two romantic suiters?Expecting to be rejected or proposed to by someone? Wishing and end to your lonelines?Seeking some kind of committed answers from someone regarding some logn term project?Whatver is going on in your life right now that is causing you that same emotional turmoil or ambivalence or excitement or feeling is what the concepts in dream represent. Dreams are effective if one believes in them and or follows the.In general anything is going to effect your life if you will it...it is the power of human mind. Like wise some dreams dont have much meaning! some people have wierd ones and they do as a result have an effect on their lives as they are overly cautious when approaching situtaions that they have dreamed about.This should be avoided i guess even though i dont take my dreams on me :) But if i have good ones then all da day a smile appears on ma face :D.lol but if i had a bad one then i just ignore it by saying that was just a dream take it easy. I just cant digest a fact that is very true that people oftem find meaning in their dreams,but its is up to you to look for it.If nothing else,examining your dreams for clues to how you feel about your life,or issues in your life can prompt you to think about things that are going on in your life and seek resolution. well that was a bit boring discussion on what dreams are and do they really affect our lives :)

I had this sream and i think its kinda wierd, I have been fond og watching Coffee prince the korean show and I guess i fell in love witht he male lead star. Then while I was having my 15 minute break I dremaed of the guy, we were holding hands and when he turned to my surprise it was the face of the close friend that I have here. I was really shocked to learn that, and its awkward coz he is the big brother type and just a big brother to me. What do you think the dream means? I hope you can help me with it. Have a nice day and happy mlotting!

I pay really close attention to my dreams. For some reason I always believe that we are "crossing" during the night. By crossing I mean getting into different dimension and level where we can read other people and nature itself. We can see future and past in the fraction of seconds.

hi kamran. I dont think the same way you do. I think dreams are just that, dreams. cause none of mine that i can remember anyways typically make any sense to me whatsoever! On the rare occation i will have one that is realisitic, but usually just a creative output of my subconcious ;)

I'm one of those people who don't often remember my dreams. A lot of times I will wake up knowing that I have dreamed a lot the night before but can't remember anything about them. A few rare times I do remember bits of them, but they always don't make sense and somehow seem to be related to the things I am experiencing in my waking hours. My conclusion at the moment is that they are just bits and pieces of random info my brain process at night :)

Sometimes sadness is not always that bad,I think.What do you think?When you are deep in something that you don't think is nice or something that hurt you,you will think a lot about it and will find a better way to solve your problem next time.

In my experience and personal reflections, I have found that my dreams shows my fears that I tend to suppress while awake. As a child, I dream of a lot of scary things and even of monsters I see in the movies. Most of the time I see myself of running from monsters and I realized that I keep on avoiding those things that makes me comfortable while growing up. I always tried to find a place to hide in my dreams to avoid the monsters and in real life, I was hiding myself from the world because I was too shy and I found that being with people and even friends just stresses me so much that all I wanted to do was stay im my room and read and loose myself in escapist reading. There was also a time that I keep on dreaming that I am always flying and most of the time it went beyond my control and I just flew up and up. It came out that I have this restlessness and great desire to be alone and just be myself and be independent. It stopped when I lived away from home for more than 7 years and lived alone. Then I was able to really spread my wings. I keep moving from one city to another almost every year and it somehow satisfied my yondering spirit.

Have answered my feeling on dreams in a few discussions now,so guess I am not going to enlighten those whom may have viewed the discussions,I will give my view of dreams once again however for the benefit of those who have not.The subconscious mind when a dream is very clear,one that stays with you,is wishing you to address an issue in your life,to help you.The mixed up dreams which do not make any sence,are disjointed memories,like a jigsaw puzzle being emptied onto a table.Usually of past events,days activities,etc,and are to my thought the subconscious minds way of clearing debri,as one would do with a puzzel with pieces missing,throw it out.One can discover a great deal about different issues in their life by simply spending a little time in reflection.

Dreams ..fill up the void in your life. They are so sweet that you would wish them to come true. But alas ! dreams are never realised and dreams stay as dreams with an aura of mystery holding above their heads.

Dreams are proofs for the fact that in our brains, there is not only the intelect, the conscient part that works, but there is also a subconscient and an unconscient that are really active. Dreams do not come from "outer worlds" or "outer dimensions", but from our own intelect. Let me bring just one simple ARGUMENT for that... There are a lot of things we are perceiving consciously during, let's say, a walk in a park...But a lot more come into our knowledge, our aware, during that walk, things that are not considered that interesting for us to process consciously, like the fall of a leaf, people sitting on a bench, and so on...but they are things we perceive with our senses, and do come into our knowledge...Well, all these things pass directly into our subconscious and mix in the huge unconscient we possess. When could these things we unawarely perceieved activate? Of course, when the conscient is not working, in our sleep...but the brain does not sleep with it...there is a much bigger part, with mere or zero rules of logic and sense...Subconscient and Unconscient that give our dreams.

Sweet friend, I'm so sorry you had a bad dream! To wake up like that, bathed in sweat, knowing you had struggled in your dream, is awful, and if I were there, I would cool your brow, and brush back your hair, and soothe you. ;-) Ah, well, some dreams are so lovely, though. (giggle) I am a very active dreamer, Kamran. I have wild and terrible dreams sometimes, that frighten me beyond belief, and I tend to act out, and kick, or strike out, and often will talk, or shout or scream in my dreams. My poor husband has suffered many a sleepless night because of them. But he is a wonder, and wakes me gently from these night terrors, and comforts me until I can sleep again. I think that dreams like those are hereditary. My mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother all had dreams like that, but they seemed to subside once they got older, somewhere in their sixties or so. It would appear that I have a while to wait, then. But I also have wonderful dreams, fantastical, and beautiful, and always, always, I have music in my dreams. Every morning, without fail, I awake with a song playing in my brain, from somewhere in my dreams. That's one part I love, that song in my head. Sometimes, though, they can be the oddest songs, ones that I don't even like, and that I would never listen to in my real life. Strange, but true. I'm always singing something though - when I'm around, there will be singing heard, whether it's pleasant to one's ears or not, there will be singing. I am of the philosophy that whether or not you can "sing", if you enjoy it and get pleasure from it, and have enthusiasm for it, you should just go ahead and do it. It's so good for the soul, I truly believe. But, back to the dreams, I often hear people say that they don't dream. They DO dream, they just don't remember their dreams. Everyone dreams, it's not possible to not dream, I think. Ever have one of those dreams that you really want to get back into, but can't? And it's always those dreams that you want to forget, to go away from, that you always go back into, for me, it is, at least. Every so often, I'll get to go back into a good dream that I want to continue, but not often enough, I'm afraid. but I love my dreams, I love having them, and I love the inspiration they can bring. Good discussion, Kamran, as always. Thank you, my friend.

sometimes they means alot and sometimes they mean nothing! Sometimes the message is that vague or weird that you dont know what's going on after you wake up and some are easy to work out.
