Are dreams actually a window into alternate versions of us?

I had a dream that seemed like an alternate me - and when I woke up I was glad I had made the choices I had to be where I am...

The dream is a another world says Edward ranfeild but if its another world then why we are there is it our soul seperates no al i say is " When our physical body takes rest the mentel power of our mind starts its own imajinations and if we are of supernatural dreamers inside in our mind who dosnt wants to show it out their dreams will refelect sometimes we see which we saw before thats nothin but we would hav forgotten it but our mind never forgets anything thats the unrevealed truth...

Dreams are so hard to talk about because they are so hard to disect. I've never thought of dreams as being an alternate version of us but it sounds like that could be really cool. Their is an alternate universe out there and we can see what's going on with our alternate versions of ourselves. You should make a TV show about that, I'll definitely watch. But I think that dreams are just there to tell us or warn us about something that may happen or like some other people already said, they can have to do with what we feel at the moment.

I believe that dreams are definitely a window to ourselves. Dreams are a way of our subconscious getting a message to us. Sometimes the message is clear. At other times we struggle with the message. You could say that our subconscious opens this window while we sleep. We just never know what will cross over.

In my own opinion, dreams is not a mirror of us. Dreams is sometimes what you see or done all day. Sometimes, dreams is the result of our extreme thoughts of others. Dreams is also a thing that we really wanted to do badly but we did not do it. I can say most of the dreams are result of over thinking. I believe also that there are dreams that is going to happen in your life. It depends on what time. I heard that if you dream in the morning that dream will happen that day. I admit I experienced that kind of dream, which it came true. Second, dreams has a meaning. If you dream a poop that means you are getting money soon, either it's your salary or someone sending it to you. I experience this also. I think dreams are in our thought and sometimes represent an event that we are going to be true, but don't depend on it.

Megamatt Can i call you Matt cool. I think that dreams are a window to an alternate universe. When we sleep that is when our brain shows us that we are capable of so much more. In our dreams we can control what we do. We can control what we do or say and we can manipulate what we do in our dreams. Which in aspect is pretty cool if you think about it.

I rarely remember my dreams.My husband has very vivid, Dreams as to what is going on. I also have a schizophrenic friend who remembers everything in color and detail. I think all are brains work in different ways.I have heard that it is the seventh sense though.

I think my dreams are about my own feelings and fears. I often dream about someone I loved a long time ago (and still do to some extent). Almost everytime in my dream I either cannot find him or I am trying to hide from him. A few times I do actually get to see him and talk to him and I am so nervous. I know I have not gotten over him.

Hello, megamatt!I read your theory and i have to say i can't say that you're right..and I can't say that you're not, either :) We know so little about how our minds work that we can only speculate what happens when our constient self doesn't act like a tap anymore and just lets our mind run free. I believe that our minds can actually be in contact with the past, present and future in the same time while we sleep and that our dreams might actually be glimpses of the future shown to us through the means of what we know or what we have already lived, our knowledge and our past. I'm saying this because i had a lot of dreams that acted like real prophecies to me, but i just could't descifre them at the time. I only puzzled them together afterwards. I have to say your theory is much more exciting than mine, but for me, it's much scarier. Because if what you say is right, we might actually be able to see the consecuences of the desicions we never took or took differently in this existance. And for me, that is a scary thing! I live my life knowing there is no turning back, taking my decisions as well as i can...but i know very well they might not always be the right ones. And seeing a glimpse of what might have been or of what i lost...I just don't want to think about it :) You know what they say, you can't miss what you've never had, but once you've had it...:) Thanks for a very interesting discussion and happy posting!

Dreams are made of things that you are scared from, that you desire about and also that your mind makes up. I don't think that they are something happening in some other world but they are however related to the things that are happening in this world. Whatever we dream about has either happened to us or is going to happen in some way or the other. But it is difficult to determine when and where it took place or is going to take place.

I've always thought that dreams are their own reality. After all, when you are dreaming, in your mind it's just as real as anything that happens when you're awake. While the events of your life may affect the events you experience in a dream, it can work the other way around as well. If you have a very powerful and vivid dream, can't that determine how you react to something or compel your decision making process in the waking world?
