How do dreams start?

Question

I don't know if it's possible to remember the very beginning of a dream, but I'm just wondering how dreams start. For example, do you find yourself in a strange place with no memory of what's happened? Or do you think you remember things that have happened earlier in the dream that didn't actually happen, so you think it's the middle of the dream even though it's just started?

Answer 1

Dreams are motivated by stored up emotion or spiritual energy from times previous to the dream. Usually, you have the most of the energy driving the dream at the beginning, so you tend to plunge right into it at the beginning, and as the dreams moves along the energy usually runs its course and resolves itself if it can, with an outcome or ending of the dream. One does not always remember after the fact any event in an exact way, the same is true of dreams. One might fill in detail later. Some people who think they are predicting the future in dreams, may after the fact, remember their dream as being a more accurate prediction, than it was. The memory does strange things. I think the actual dream does follow a normal time line, and most of the time you will remember it in sequence. Forgetting parts or all of dreams is easy, dreams are not easy to hold on to in ones conscious memory. Dreams do tell one a lot about what is happening with you on the deeper spiritual level, but are very complicated to figure out.
