if you dream a dream, any kind, does it have anything to do with if it will actually come true? if you dream a dream so real, what does that tend to mean?
It is about the awareness ... like you are following a deeper sense and remembrance of who you are, realizing you are not being limited and drawing it into your experience. Maybe all life is a dream (and sometimes what we call waking life is just deep sleep) where we dream ourselves into being, to grow and expand in consciousness. And it's like you are just waking to a greater reality inside yourself ... where dreaming and waking life is not separate but one, and it's like you yourself are coming true, again and again. Maybe this is all it means.
expecting there to be one absolute answer to that question is simply inconsistent with diversity being the observable and only observable, nature of reality. to me, dreams indicate several things, and not, exclusively, any one of them. meaning and realness need not be directly related. what is possible, one of many possibilites, is that there is a kind of subconscous, psionic internet, that may be a kind of real, if totaly nontangable, or at least not THIS universe tangable, 'place'. they could all be symbolic they could all be your mind running simulations they could all be your mind just simply 'free-wheeling' i'm just not convinced they HAVE to be ALL anyone of these or any ONE of anything else either. EACH dream MAY be in a seperate one of these catigories, or even combine several of them. that is my firmly convicted two cents worth that my gut tells me. =^^= .../\...
I usally find that about 95% of our dreams are garbage, that the mind is just flushing down the toilet everything that it saw during the day, everything you saw on TV or in a movie, heard on the radio, you unconsciously heard people say, you've read, etc. A whole lot of it it doesn't really need. Figure that about 4% will involve soemthing going on in your life: relationships, job, desires, frustrations, family, etc. I figure that less than 1/10th of 1% have to do with the future. The secret is in knowing what should be paid attention to. First you'd have to look at your diet, have you been ingesting too much MSG?, for example. Are you getting enough rest and exercise? Have you been abusing drugs and alcohol (Yes, alcohol is a drug, you can become dependent on it.) Yes, it could just be that you were fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the dream. It could very well have significance, but you'll have to guage it against prior experience and intuition.
I believe dreams have 'flavors' and after alot of practise observing which flavors do what, over Time and through space you can pick out the patterns and differentiate the nuances. A dream journal may help. I know I have many dreams recorded and my thoughts about them that years later when I look back I'd have forgotten about otherwise. More information leads to a more accurate observations, imho, and like with anything, there will be useless info and then treasures that will move you so profoundly that they will alter the way you will be in your world...and right in the middle are the day to day insights that can be observed and learned from like your own virtual reality, where you can act out many different scenes till you find the one that strikes a resonance with how you would like to be in the material realm. Then it is just up to you to bring it through.
And when you figure out that only 5% of our brain is exploitable...and that has proved to be enough to build a civilized world.
who knew dreams are so complicated? well i think i am going to stop dreaming when i sleep. i will just have dreams when im a wake that way i know whats real and whats not.
Ok, I will avoid trying to bring about a harshness to the comment. The above quote really seems like a way to throw a philisophical ring to "I don't know how to answer your question" or "I have no possible way of legitamently answering, or understanding the question or concept". No one, will ever, EVER, be able to answer your question. You take, and interpret dreams the best you can. The meaning in dreams are personal. I don't believe dreams have some hidden meaning that may or may not lead to some significant advancement of ones self. An "Epiphany" if you will. If a dream becomes reality in some sort, it may or may not be related to the actual dream. There could be 0 corrolation (sp -.-) between the event occuring and the dream, while there could be a direct relationship between the two. Dreams are dreams. We are only meant to understand what we can understand. Dreams are not a test of ones ability to analyze minute details to discover it's meaning. Dreams are created by ones subconcious, and psyche. We use this same concious and psyche when reviewing the dream. Chances are the dream represents what is obvious to you, but opaque to others. This is my viewpoint on dreams, their interpretation, and the 'meaning' behind them. Not an answer. It's what I believe. Please, refrain from flaming. If you don't agree, fine. By all means, it's your right to use a comment, sentence, phrase, or quote from someone else to further explain your point, so feel free to do so. Moving_cloud, no disrespect, no hate. <333
jaden, hey don't worry ... your input is appreciated. And yes ... each is their own best interpreter, be it of waking or of dreaming reality. Each is their greatest mystery as well (and sometimes their own most wonderful contradiction). The answer comes from within, not from without ... but an outside view still might help to find the doorknob. Have a good day
i used to read very little of Sigmund Freud which saying most dreams have the sexuality meaning inside ..but however ..i dont think all my dreams with sexuality meaning ..cuz soem of them could be meaningless or just my brain working on soemthing .. i dont know.. but dreaming my sweet love is what i dreaming for .. hee hee
