Dreams are usually manifestations of what you were thinking while awake. They can mean just about whatever you want them to mean.

Sometimes, dreams and nightmares, as I've read in a fairly recent Reader's Digest, is our mind's way of preparing for something. We run the situation in our head, and we try and see what to make of it. For instance, if you've been thinking of that job promotion, you might have a good dream if you're totally up to it, and you'll be rolling in the dough at home, and so on. If you're not too confident, then you might get a nightmare about all of the things that go wrong. In a sense, we use those thoughts that invade our minds as we sleep as a form of preparation. A dream is a desire that we want, a nightmare is the worst case scenario. In either case, we can learn from them - learn what we want, learn what we fear, and learn how to make what we want happen.

Dreams are the language that our Higher Self communicates to us about what is going on with ourselves. They are in the language of symbols which do have meaning.\n\nThey tell us more about who we are, why we do certain things, give us the bigger picture, give us guidiance and solutions to problems. They can also involve spiritual guidiance from Masters, Saints, or even God.\n\nOur society does not place importance on dreams because we do not live in a spiritual world. We live in a world where there is importance placed on our physical bodies and materialism. But we are much more than our physical bodies. We are spiritual beings residing in a body.\n\nSo to learn how to understand the symbology of dreams takes time, but it is doable. I have been writing my dreams for over five years and intepreting them with this best dream dictionary "The Dream Book: Symbols for Self Understanding" by Betty Bethards.\n\nSince I've been doing this, I have received amazing insight into myself on this journey. It's remarkable, and I love the fact that I am always receiving communciation about what is going on with myself and to help me understand where I am going in life. I've even received foreshadowings of things that are going to happen in my life.\n\nThe symbolism gets easier to understand once you understand the basis of this language.\n\nI write about my dreams and explain their meanings on my 360 blog. Here's one example:\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=6&u=10&mx=111&lmt=5&p=433\n\nAnd another to give you an idea of how dreams are interpreted:\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=61&u=65&mx=111&lmt=5&p=177\n\nHope that helps!

Dreams are unconscious images which occurs during sleep. Day dreams occur while the person is awake revolving around fantasies. The person day dreaming usually invokes the topic of the fantasy where as in a regular dream you have no control.

Dreams. Its a word to be understood properly. Dreams are generated from us, it uses the information which we have some where deep in our minds, it uses all that what we know and make a new kind of event in our unconcious mind.\nSign and Signals are alwyas floting around us, and they are not send by any divine power, as the power is right inside our own self. To understand the sign and act on it depends on how we manage to understand our own self our own power.\nEvery living being is connected with an invisible network and communication between each other is always happening, its our recevier which is capable to filter the signals or no.\nTHIS IS JUST 1% OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY... WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MORE IF IT INTRESTS ANYBODY...

No real significance except as an indicator as to what is on your mind at the time of sleep. There is a process called "lucid dreaming" where you can control your dreams, even using them as a way to solve problems.

Dreams are how your subconscious mind works out issues.  They don't necessarily have to mean anything, it's just your mind's way of playing out scenarios you would never think of performing.  Don't sweat it...if you're happy with your new beaux, enjoy it.  And enjoy the dreams as well...heck, have a grand old time with both of them IN THE DREAM WORLD ONLY!

Yes I believe there is a great deal of significance to dreams. Your mind is giving you clues while you are asleep to help you through issues in your waking life. They may not be major things, some can be pretty petty. \n  There is a reason for the cliche "Let me sleep on it"\n  Your dreams contain many symbols and when analyzed can help you understand many things that may be happening in your life. Things that while you are awake you may not even be aware of.\n There are many excelllent dream dictionaries and such available through any bookstore, online and in the malls.\n Online websites are rather limited but can help with some quick analysis.\n Dream on !

Dreams are of our subconscious mind, therefore they may seem distorted to some, but in actuality are very real parts of our being.  They can be strongly influenced we are facing strong emotions in our life - hence giving you the very real sense of your senses in your dream.  There have been many times that my husband has had to wake me as I was running and crying - left over results of an alcoholic, abusive marriage- he has learned to wake me slowly and gently and then remind me of my surroundings.  So some can be bad.  He also knows there is one where I somewhat purr and he talks to me and I tell him later, that I have to lie at the alter of the Lord and I'm to ashamed to offer any more than this.  He then goes back off to sleep and says within minutes I'll be up writing a story book or poetry or a letter to someone based upon my time in the dream.  Our subconscious can often be a safe outlet for what we cannot consciously do.  Those around us, like my husband have to learn this.  Several times he has woke cussing terrible and swinging his arm and pointing his finger and as I've listened he's been given his Dad what for - something he can't feel he can do in person. So dreams do not have "dream book" meanings - they have meanings to you as an individual.  God will reveal them to you if you ask him. and if he doesn't, then I've learned I don't need to know.

Dreams are methaporic messages (similar to abstract art) sent from your "Higher self" in the "2nd world" (unconsious world) to give you hints or a heads up on forecomings in the not so distant future.  I know this sounds loopy but if you have an open mind then you shouldn't think this is weird.  Also if you dream about something like turning into a demon, that doesn't mean that you will...it may mean that you are possibly thinking about doing something that will change the way people look or see you as (negatively).  Try interpreting your dreams, it's fun.

I just learned this... When people have worries or anticipations their unconcious mind comes alive during their sleep. Every dream has a meaning. If it's a nightmare, evaluate the dream there may be something in the dream that you need to recognize. Dreams are always telling you something!

I always find dreams really interesting.  In my dreams are events and scenarios that I could never think of on my own.  I kind of like the lack of logic in dreams. So, dreams interest me a lot, too.  I always pick up any article or whatever that I see about dreams.  From what I've read, dreams are your subconscious trying to work out your problems, and in extreme cases they help people move on from tragedies, because it helps them deal.  That's cool that you're conscious in your dreams.  That never happens to me but I do know people that could relate to you that way.  You can probably learn a lot from yourself by controlling your dreams

it means you gt woke up. Dreams mean nothing except what your mind is thinking when you are asleep. \nI dreamt i had sex with a neighbor last night. What does that mean? Nothing! We are both married!
