What is a dream? What are they made from and where do they come from? Dreams in fact are no more mysterious than our spirit and soul, our thoughts and imagination. We cannot touch them, yet they can and do touch us deeply. During the R.E.M stage or the rapid eye movement, dreams take place. It is the activity of the brain that sends signal to the rapid movement of the eye. Some dreams occur not during the stage of R.E.M but these dreams are less memorable and less clear. Theta consciousness is what could best be described as a deep lucid meditation state of super awareness, and delta consciousness could best be described as out of body consciousness.
It is the misconception of some that dreams predict the future. A renowned individual, Carl Jung said that dreams compensate the waking in mind with information that is unconscious, and hidden. The purpose of dreams is to bring forth the repressed or hidden desire and informations it to reality. The unconscious dream in the same manner compensates the conscious mind by metaphors. These are the language of dreams in symbols. Although through dreams, we gain insights, it does not always predict the future. One common condition is the healing process. Thus it sets balance to the dreamers life. So when we understand the emotion that is driving the dream, the charge that it has over us is neutralised, and we are naturally healed, which is the intent and purpose of our souls journey through this life. At present, scientists continue to argue the issue of the meaning behind dreams. Some people find that their dreams are meaningful to them, some don’t. Sometimes we understand them and sometimes we don’t. They can be exciting yet fearful. They allow people to go different places and to see amazing things that never have been seen in real life and never might see in their lifetime. It may help to keep a dream journey by your bed so when you wake up in the morning you can note what dream you had and see if it makes any sense to you during the coming days.
