Answer 2

The most common emotion experienced in dreams was anxiety. Negative emotions are more common than positive feelings. Scientists have identified recurring themes in dreams such as: themes relating to school, being chased, sexual experiences, falling, arriving too late, a person now alive being dead, flying, and failing an examination. The theory of déjà vu dealing with dreams indicates that the feeling of having previously seen or experienced something could be attributed to having dreamed about a similar situation or place, and forgetting about it until one seems to be mysteriously reminded of the situation or place while awake. Eugen Tarnow suggests that dreams are ever-present excitations of long-term memory, even during waking life. The strangeness of dreams is due to the format of long-term memory, reminiscent of Penfield & Rasmussen’s findings that electrical excitations of the cortex give rise to experiences similar to dreams.

We don't really know why humans dream, but we do know that sleep deprviation and dreaming deprivation have affects on us. Many times we dream but don't remember we dreamed. My experience is that dreams put together little bits and pieces of things that have been going on in your life the previous 2-3 days or things you are bothered by in your life, mush them all up, and try to give you some kind of resolution, maybe thinking is a better word, but in a manner than ins't always easy to make sense of. Dreams are wonderful, I love them, because they make plays on words,(like sweet and suite or even suit) , use numbers that are significant, and switch things around, such as being about lots of cats and dogs instead of men and women. Like that.
If somethign is on your mind that you wish would happen, it's only natural that it could work its way into your dreams.

At times though I have found dreams do try to send a message to the dreamer about something the person may not be conciously aware of yet, like having to need a doctor visit because something in the body is wrong. Like an early warning system, if you can figure out your own message codes. But you'll find out eventually, you just may not link it back to a dream, just like you may not link it back to a minor symtom ou've had.

Repititive dreams are usually significant and worht paying special attention to. Some people claim they can train themselves to direct their dreams in certain directions to change thieir outc ome, but dreams try to give us messages about things that are particular to us, so I don't see the point. Unless you are having terrible nightmares.

While it's true that there are verious dream interpretations, as common symbols from Freud or Jung, it's more valuable to rely on your own interpretation. Unless your in therapy, then you can get additional feedback from your dr.
A good way to understand your own dream is to write it out as soon after you wake up as possible, giving all the details as they occurred, all the specifics. Even the words you use to narrate your dream can give you hints about the dream after you are through writing it.

Answer 4

your dreams reflect your own underlying thoughts and feelings, and that the people, actions, settings and emotions in your dreams are personal to you. Some dream experts theorize that there are typical or archetypal dreams and dream elements that persist across different persons, cultures, and times. By thinking about what each dream element means to you or reminds you of, by looking for parallels between these associations and what are happening in your waking life, and by being patient and persistent, you can learn to understand your dreams.

Answer 5

Dreams are extremely important in self understanding. They are a wonderful gift. A portal into your own mind. This isn't flowery rhetoric; its true. Learn to Lucid dream, keep dream journals...really learn to interpret your own dreams. I do. Good luck.

Answer 6

dreams are the bestest form of meditation.
Dreams don't know anythinig you dont know.
They just make you see things in a different way, so you reallize things.

Answer 7

I WAS ONCE TOLD THAT DREAMS ARE ABOUT YOU. SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ON YOUR MIND. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE A DREAM THAT MY EX WAS SEEING THE KIDS, AND I WAS BEING MEAN TO HIM ABOUT IT, AND NOT ALLOWING HIM TO SEE THEM, WHICH I WOULD NEVER DO, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE DREAM WAS ABOUT ME WORRYING ABOUT NOT SPENDING ENOUGH TIME WITH THE KIDS, AND NOT ABOUT MY EX SEEING THEM. DREAMS ARE ALWAYS ABOUT THE PERSON DREAMING THEM AND WHAT IS ON THEIR MIND

Answer 8

It's your mind stewing over things in your conscious mind. I suppose it could go either way as far as your question goes.

Answer 9

things you are worried about
or curious about
things on the fringes of your consciousness
