A dream is a sequence of hallucinatory experiences that may have a some coherence but that are also often bizarre that occur primarily during the Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, part of sleep. The experiences may include images, sounds and other sensations. A simple explanation for a complex phenomena that has baffled mankind for centuries, isn’t it?
Some people discount dreams as mere ‘white noise’ of the mind, meaningless. Others think that dreams offer an insight into the psyche of the dreamer. Some think that dreams are a way that the brain trains itself internally. Some believe that dreams have a spiritual meaning.
My own thinking is that dreams are often the mind’s way of coping with various experiences a person has encountered in their life or that they wish, consciously or subconsciously, to happen or not happen in their life. I don’t discount spiritual meaning in dreams, that’s something personal to the individual who experiences it.
What are your thoughts on dreams and what they represent?
I thought I would leave this little comment just to see if my dream of this site being indexed OK has come true.
i believe from personal experiences that dreams are indeed for a large part the brain training itself,the most important of which is training emotions and basic instincts(like the common dream of running away from monsters),also they definitely are spiritual but not necessarily contain meaning.
i definitely agree that they are also a way of coping with various experiences.
the way i see it when you are awake you experience things externally(your external life),and when you are dreaming internally(your internal life)both need eachother and both fuel eachother,you could think of them in a similar way as ying and yang.
