If you dream of cooking macaroni, you could a victim of a
fraud. Dreams can be mysterious, and always interesting. The
meanings always seem to be pushed into the back of your brain.
People have come up with all different kinds of funky ways to
tell you what they mean. I think you have to look to yourself
and you feelings to get a real look at what they mean.
The questions that I kept thinking of while I was researching
this topic was " WHAT ARE DREAMS AND WHERE DO THEY COME
FROM?" These are the answers I found.
Dreams are the thoughts and feelings you have when you are
sleeping. They allow you to fulfill your fantasies that you cannot
fulfill in the waking world. Most people I know have sometime
dreamt about being famous or being really rich or doing something
so far out there that you could never do in real life. Most of
us will never do anything like what you do in your dreams. Dreams
come from R.E.M. No, not the band! REM is rapid eye movement
in which your eyes move really fast back and forth. This has
something to do with your brain waves moving differently than
when you are asleep.
Day dreaming is a little different then the dreams you have
when you are asleep. The most obvious difference is that you
are awake!
Most of us do this whenever a teacher starts going on and
on about something you really don't care about. You can control
everything that goes on in a day dream. If you don't like something
you can just stop and start over. I myself like to dream about
being on a hit T.V show named *HEATHER* ! Hey we can all dream.
Day dreams are truly fantasies.
All dreams use symbols in a way to tell your conscious self
how to go through life. The symbols show your feelings towards
different subjects. Sometimes dreams are very obvious. One of
my friends had a dream where she went right up to the boy she
likes and kissed him. In her dream she was extremely different
from what she is like in real life. Maybe her dream was telling
her to be more daring? To figure out what a dream means you should
try to follow your feelings, they are never wrong.
The most common dreams heard of are dreams of being chased,
dreams of falling or dreams of being nude in a public place.
Dreaming of being chased could be the result of felling that
people are always after you to do something whether your parents
are after you to have good manners or your teachers always seem
to have a new work assignment. It can start to fell like you
are being chased all day everyday. Experts say that dreams of
being nude in a public place can be caused by feeling vulnerable
or over exposed . Maybe someone found out something that was
meant to be a secret. Flying dreams are really common dreams
although I myself have never had one. Flying dreams can make
you feel high like you are on top of the world. Most people love
having these dreams but some people are scared of them. These
people may be afraid to " rise above" . Many people
dream of falling. These dreams can be really scary. If you are
scared maybe you could let yourself just fall to see what will
happen. Are you afraid of failure ? Dream specialists say this
could cause falling dreams. They also say that falling dreams
can also mean that you need to get your feet planted back on
the ground.
Dreams are what you make them. They are fun and interesting
they don't have to be anything more. J. August Strinberg sums
up what I think about dreams in just five words. "I dream
therefor I exist" Think about that and just enjoy the dreams
. They don't have to mean anything unless you want them to. |
