What is the relationship between race and what they dream about?

I wouldn't think that race would matter as much as culture.  Culture would affect you physcological state more than simply your ethnic origins.

You bring up the idea of a succubus, an evil spirit/demon that has sex with a human to propagate a breed of human/demon hybrid...\n\n\n...and it's all bologna.  When you dream, it's just your imagination running all over, giving you strange images.  If a person dreamed of having sex with their mother, it doesn't mean they either HAVE had sex with ther mother, or that they WANT to have sex with their mother.  It's all unconscious.

They do dream in images, but the images they describe are not the same as yours or mine.  When asked to describe what they dreamed about, visually impaired individuals in some studies described familiar objects in contexts that were completely skewed -- like a huge dog shape for a cloud, or sometimes described something unimaginable to you or I, but it is how they always imagined it to be.\n\nInterestingly, people who had sight but lost it, also come to lose their visual memories of typical objects when they begin to use their other senses to compensate.  Their dreams become altered, as well.\n\nIt's a very interesting topic, and lots of material to read if you are really interested.  "Planet of the Blind"  =  Very interesting book.

dreams are a way for your brain to let go of things it say while you were awake.\ndreaming is sometimes your subconscious letting you know what you really would like to do..\nlike people flying..maybe you either wish you could fly an airplane or maybe you wish you could transform yourself into a bird..\ndreams are very important to a healthy mind even if some of the dreams are not what you would consider healthy..

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!

Most of my dreams are of people I've never met and places I've never been.\nOne thought is that these people are real and they are interacting with one of my 12 (or 144 depending on who you read) soul extensions and I'm tapping into one of those soul extension's lives for the dream.\nAnother thought is that I am a writer and extremely creative so even my dreams are unique.\nMy therapist says every person in a dream is an aspect of the dreamer. So if there's a tall thin black sharp-shooting army woman in my dream, it's up to me to figure out what she represents in my personality.

Dreams are images from your subconscious mind. You are getting images of things that you may have seen in the past or things that are on your mind, but not in the concious part that makes you remember things all the time. The reasons for forgetting dreams are interferance, salience and repression. I will not try to explain these look at the link I have included.

Concentrate on this: There are some things in our life that we want them to happen. For eg. one may wish to be married to a person of his choice. So what we want to happen with us is something which is always there in our sub-conscious mind. And since we have no control over the inactive part of our brain (almost 90%) we see our wishes in our dreams.\n\nOtherwise, dreams may also be te fears or fancies in our sub-conscious mind. eg. the fear of ghosts etc. \n\nIn no way they are related to our future. But yes, if you convert your dreams to reality, they better are.

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 do not always mean what they are about. they are more of subconcious memorys. \nwhat do you do?  what can you do?

Perception is based on experience and education. If you have certain experiences that can be tied to a person's race then the next time you encounter a person of that race, your mind brings up that previous experience. If you are told or educated to think or feel a certain way about a particular race, your mind will do the same thing. Perception is really a survival mechanism. It helps you sort out dangerous situations from safe situations from a distance.

I have dreams that are SO realistic about being in Nazi germany during the worst of it..(I have no members of my family that were there).I also speak foreign languages in my sleep that my husband says are very clear, but he doesn't recognize the language.(We both know some German, though).. (One of the other lives I think I've had is in Cleopatra or Nefertiti's time.)

according to psychoanalytic theory, our refulated uncounscious desires and drives(usually sexual and aggressive ones)penetrate through dreams, a reason why part of the psychanalytic therapy relies on dream interpretation, trying to link the latent content to the manifest one.\nas far as my knowledge reaches, i think nowadays, knowing the fact that during the rem sleep our cerebral activity is similar to the one in the waking state, dreams are more likely to be images and situations which have troubled us during the day (or the past days) and which are somehow reintegrated into an entirely free "imaginary space" which lacks the boundaries of a syntax, as language does.

You only dream about a decease person when you are real attached or close to this person, dream are subsoncious memories, you subconciously thought about this person from time to time without realizing this.\n\nDream can only be time when your subconcious mind will flashback.

well, just think about it. we often dream because of things that we see or experience in our lives. A blind person would most likely dream about things they experience in their lives. But since they cannot see these things, they must imagine what they would look like. therefore, they probably dream about what they think things are like. They would dream about what they picture in their mind when they experience something. Although, im not an expert, but that's just my theory.

We can never know how another species thinks, let alone another person.  We can only make assumptions based on similar brain activity (using MRIs, CT scans, and EEGs) among individuals.  For example, we can see different regions of the brain are more active during the REM stage of sleep, when people experience dreaming.  We can see the same brain regions active in other animals when they are sleeping, so we therefore come to the conclusion that they are dreaming. (transitive property, I think)
