Answer 1

A dream reflects your subconscious mind, of all your thoughts, fears, problems, A dream can answer your problems, fantasy's or can also prepare you for situations of your personal life.

A dream is a ride of your life.

Answer 2

A DREAM is the experience of envisioned images, voices, or other sensations during sleep. Dreams often portray events which are impossible or unlikely in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer, (although some people have reported lucid dreaming, breaking the suspension of disbelief and realizing they are dreaming—being sometimes even capable of changing the oneiric reality around them and controling various aspects of the dream). Many people report experiencing strong emotions while dreaming, and frightening or upsetting dreams are referred to as nightmares. The scientific discipline of dream research is oneirology.

Dreams have a long history both as a subject of conjecture and as a source of inspiration (artistic or otherwise). Throughout history, people have sought meaning in dreams. They have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the unconscious, and spiritually as messages from God or predictions of the future (oneiromancy).

Most scientists believe that almost all humans dream with approximately the same frequency. Even those who rarely recall dreams report having them if awakened during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Dreaming in animals varies from species to species. Some species do not dream at all.

Answer 3

A dream is a build up of thoughts and emotions from the day, past or even future. It seams real because of all the energy built up. It is a way we deal with our problems, desires, emotions, love, hate and everything else. Dreams are powerful no wonder they can appear so real and life like.

Answer 4

I think Dreams are your subconscious relieving itself of all sorts of accumulated files in your brain and dealing with unresolved issues. You dream every night, but might no remember it, but the ones that seem so real you've dreamed mostly towards morning, Sometimes my dreams are so real, I literally have t call people to ask them is it true what I've dreamed.

Answer 5

As you go through your normal day, your brain processes things going on around you. However, sometimes you see or experience things that your brain does not have time to process - you're in a rush. It could be something you noticed out the corner of your eye. During the night, your brain goes back into your subconscious to try to make sense of all this 'suppressed' information and the result is that is comes out as dreams.

Another example is the guy who dreamed of his girfriend or wife after breaking up. His brain was trying to make sense of suppressed thoughts and 'process' them.

Usually dreams are quite distinguishable from reality, but sometimes they're not. Before my college exams, I dreamed that I had already taken them for example, and it took me a good ten minutes after waking up to realise I hadn't. That was the most stressful period of my life and I still dream about it occasionally now - ten years later.

Answer 7

Some people believe it is the random firing of neurons in your brain that you brain trys to translate so you end up getting wierd dreams. I believe the theory that it is so that your brain can think about and story new information, and to go through possibilites in your life, to prepare and such. I think it is just the ways brain of untangling all the things it has gone through that day, in the past, and what may happen.

Answer 8

Being completely honest... I had dreams of my wife cheating on me for 6 months before she left me.
Turned out she was screwing around behind my back for just as long....
It was odd to know that my dreams proved true.
