Dreams

What is a dream? Why do we dream?

                Dreams should be interpreted as a whole because it reflects an interconnected network of ideas in the mind of the dreamer.  One should befriend a dream.  A dream is a part of you that nobody else can quite understand.  You can try to explain a dream to someone, but they wont know how you were feeling and thinking at the time of the dream.  A dream is a personality trait of the dreamer.  It keeps one from going insane, without dreams one would not be able to figure out everything in their head.  When sleeping, the brain is relaxed and allows the dreamer to focus on the essential things in their life at that time.

                Dreams are a window into the mind.  These may be our most elaborate, distinctive, revealing, and flamboyant creations; they have fascinated us since ancient times.  The Egyptians built temples for dreaming.  The oracles of Greece pondered cryptic dreams as the “royal road to the unconscious.”  Dreams allow us to glimpse beyond that which we are and know in daily life; they hint of other dimensions of space and time.  What do dreams really mean?  Are they mirrors of your days, tunnels into the recesses of the unconscious, or no more than the chance results of biochemical changes in the brain?  NO one knows the complete answer yet, but dream researchers are learning more and more about the reasons why we tell ourselves stories as we sleep, and how these tales reflect and relate to the waking life. 

Dreams are essential to life; they are the key to imagination, longer life and relaxation. Without these keys how can one live an entirely enjoyable life?  Dreams are fun, scary and helpful.  They are the explanations of life and problems that one cannot figure out in the awake state.  They are what keep us going in life.  Without dreams and hopes one would not strive to be the best.  So keep dreaming, in sleep and in life, and have a future!
