What is dreaming and what does it mean?

Info

Dreaming is about how you feel and about what you’re thinking about everyday. Its often about your normal problems or things that happen everyday and these problems may show themselves as a nightmare. Dreams are pictures and activities in your head when you’re asleep. You have no control of your dreams. The dream control itself.

What is dreaming?

Dreaming can be when you are awake. It can be that you dream about another better world or maybe a girl. This is called daydreaming.

For baby’s the dream sleep fill ca. 50 percent. For adults dream sleep fill between ca. 20-30 percent of your sleeping time.

People usually have 4-6 dreams in one night with about 90 minutes between each dream stage. The last dream of a night’s may take up to 30-40 minutes.

Sinister, unpleasant or otherwise anxiety provoking dreams are called nightmares. Lucid dreams are dreams in which you are aware of that dream.

What does your dreams mean?

There is no consensus on whether the dream means something, and if so, what they mean. Throughout history, there emerged several views on what dreams are and how they can mean. In ancient Greece and Egypt were dreams of being an expression of contact with the divine. Since then, Freud and Jung in psychology attempted to explain the importance of dreams as the needs and satisfaction with archetypal symbols. A neuro-psychological theory about the phenomenon of dreams is that dreams are a phase of a process where the brain organize and sort the prior day’s impressions and experiences.

I think this is a very interesting topic.

    I agree, dreams are a very interesting topic. Another dream related question is whether or not you dream in color. I have had many strange dreams in my life. The most unusual and frightening was when I was in grade school. I was a huge Stpehen King fan and I ended up with a dream that progressed every night for at least a month. My mom was chasing me trying to kill me except she didn’t look like my mom. The dream was very vivid and it finally ended with my dad killing her and saving me in the back of his store. I have never had another dream like it (and don’t wish to) since.
    Great article! I enjoyed this.

    Freud’s theories on dream interpretation were wrong in that not every dreamer shares his symbolic thinking. A person’s symbolic thinking is often very personal to them, so dream interpretation should explore what the symbols in the dream mean to the dreamer, before making generic assumptions about the meanings of dreams. I think it is all an interesting topic.

    Sorry to hear about that Neopisiva!:) I always remember my dreams these days. It’s really scary sometimes because I don’t know what really happened and what’s just a dream.

    That’s right, Rosettaartist1! It’s indeed an interesting topic.
    I generally like learning about freud and his theories.

    Thanks

    Best regards,
