Sweet Dreams are Made of This

What is dreaming and exactly what are dreams? Do they have some meaning and can they influence our lives in some way? And why is it that some people dream a lot and many others don’t seem to dream at all?

 Sigmund Freud thought that dreams could serve as windows into the psyche, revealing unfulfilled wishes, and many of his followers today consider them to be a major tool in psychoanalysis.

 Some scientists have theorized that dreams are unnecessary bits of information being deleted nightly from a person’s memory, just as a computer cleans unwanted data.

 Many of our ancestors regarded sleep as another life, one in which our souls were more active than during our waking hours. Researchers into the paranormal believe dreams may reveal the forces of destiny, the true reality that is about to occur.

 There is a mysterious wisdom working in our dreams, which tries to take away our hurt, adjust our bad habits and behaviours and help us to get a better understanding of who we are and exactly what it is that we should do in our lives to become more healthy, happy, free and secure.

    I dream quite often, but don’t always remember what I dreamed about.

    Great!! I my belief I agree with the Egyptians, I think that dreams are a message sent by God. I believe that at times they are hard to understand but always tell about future happenings.
    Great article and very interesting.
