dream is only dream?

To be clear from the beginning, my position is not a "scientific" position. It is a practice I just started, attending a group that compares dream notes. We believe that dreams hold clues about ourselves; they are lessons given to us ("by our Psyche," as one senior member calls it) and it is just as real as the world we experience. It does not mean the experience will come true literally in waking life, but it is already true as in its expression of our current state of being. For example, a recent dream I had was me staying at my mother's house, and a stranger came by to fix the thermostat. He went to it easily while I had to squeeze between two walls to watch him, and while he was working, I was playing with the pieces. I am still working on why I'm staying at my mother's house (I'm well over 50 years old) but the fixing of the thermostat is finding my comfort level, and I have a playful attitude about it, seeing how the pieces fit. I hope this makes sense.

I dont agree that dreams are only visual experiences at night but in my points of you, I have dreams before that has meaning and at some point did come to happen at real life.

I've always found the science of dreams interesting because I've always thought that dreams themselves were interesting. They can be vivid, and they can be fuzzy... they can be confusing, and they can be shockingly accurate... they can be epic and adventurous, and they can be as dull and as ordinary as everyday life. Personally, I don't believe that dreams have symbolic, subconscious, or precognitive meaning. I don't believe they symbolize the future or actually come true. I think they're a combination of things... stirring through memories new and old, running situations like a simulator, and making up stories. Always unbound by the laws of reality. No one really knows though. It's a very interesting discussion topic to say the least.

dreams are considered as activities of brain. When we fall asleep our brains don't stop working.
