Have you ever thought of finding out what dreams mean? Dreams come in visions, images and motions. There are dreams we like and dreams we hate. Dreams we like are usually are exciting and pleasant. If you had a bad day, pleasant dreams will soothe you. Waking up from pleasant dreams is a nasty experience. We know that once we wake up, we are back to the real world. Bad dreams are quickly forgotten and we do not want to have them again.
Everyone is fascinated by dreams whether we believe in them or not. Psychologists have been studying dreams throughout the century. Scientists have been puzzled by dreams, as there is no scientific or physical explanation of dreams. Spiritual healers and gurus claim to have divine powers of interpreting dreams. Considering the many theories available about dreams, the ordinary person is overwhelmed and left in the maze. One thing is certain. We do not understand what a dream is.
The extent to which one believes the interpretation of a dream varies with personality and upbringing. Upper class people with lavish lifestyles often do not believe in dreams and they certainly do not care what a dream means. The same applies to educated people. Learned people are less likely to believe in dreams than the uneducated. The trend can also be seen in locations.
People from the city are not usually concerned about dreams, while those from the countryside will take note of dreams, and what they mean. Your grandfather or grandmother may be more interested in dreams than you, and your children may care about dreams. If you are a man, you may have noticed that your sister is obsessed about dreams and horoscopes. Dont worry, most women like to know what a dream means.
It is impossible to know the true meaning of a dream, considering the multiple ways of interpreting dreams. It is also impossible to get physical evidence for the existence of dreams. As a result, people will avoid the subject of dreams in their conversations. Dreams occur in a virtual world, not the real world. Therefore, most people will not take you seriously if you follow dreams. You can discuss dreams with your psychologist, pastor or counseller. The website provides resources on dream interpretation.
According to psychologists, dreams occur in a phase of our sleep called REM. This stands for Rapid Eye Movement. Other terms for REM are “active sleep” or “paradoxical sleep”. Before a person reaches REM, he or she must go through the first four phases. REM is stage number 5. The first stages are the preparation stages or progression of sleep. At stage 4, the sleeping person will enter a phase known as “delta phase”. The brain waves slow down. Sleepwalking may occur at the end of this phase. Bed-wetting may also occur in younger children. REM follows. A person in REM sleep will have increased respiration rate, high brain activity and rapid eye movement. Dreaming occurs at this stage because brain activity increase while the muscles become relaxed.
