Why do we have dreams and how are they created?
356657
Dreams are created through our subconscious when you sleep,playing back images from events that you may have experienced or visibly witnessed.It is also believed that we have the abilaty to control our dreams (DREAMSCAPE).So it is pssible to decide what you will dream even before you sleep because the thought is planted in the subconscious before you close your eyes.Try it you might be supprised.

Dreams are manifestations of subconscious mind.\n\nSo obviously you have seeded that thought yourself and it got lost among other things. That is frothing up in the dream. Many people have changed their life because of a dream they had. \n\nIt might be good it might be bad. But atleast they are acting as per those deep seated thoughts.\n\nBut I dont believe in the "God appeared in my dream and told me where to find the hidden temple" kind of cock-n-bull stories...

everyone dreams whether they remember their dreams or not is another matter. dreaming is an essential brain function that allows people to function normally during the day. studies have shown that people that were prevented from dreaming did not function correctly or started to have illusions while awake.

Usually dreams can be connected with something that you thought about that day.  Maybe you went to McDonald's that day?  Then later on seen something that made you think of Meredith.  Your unconcious mind tries to make sense of it all so it puts it in a dream form.

I think so. I know a lot of time dreams could be a glimsp of what is to come. At other times, you dream to get answers to questions you have in your life, basicall its your brains way of finding solutions to problems or conflicts in your life.

dreams are abstract form of what u think whole day .. whole week or say which keeps getting collected in your sub-conscience.\nall things in ur sub conscinece takes an abstract visual form in ur mind which appears when u close ur eyes and sleep...when u can see nothing else\n\nnow if u see some dream 3 times it definetly indicates something... and is realted to something u are thinking of or u want in your real life.\n\nWhether it will come true or not?? ... dream can come true ..but it has nothing to do with how many times u saw..and what sequence they followed. its just ur abstract visaulization came true in real life. its sometimes just a co-incedence and sometimes fate.

Some dreams are not relevant\n\nSome dreams are from related to ur past which is there in ur consious mind or unconsious mind.\n\nSome dreams are from strong thoughts which may not have any relation to the past but later in a stage of ur life u may see ur dream coming into reality atleast to some extent or sometimes even very precisely.

I have a ton of recurring dreams. none of them are particularly frighting or happy. I have dreams that really happen. I've had dreams about buildings, haveing never even been in the same state as that building, and later i have moved there and been in that building and known exactly how to get around in it, because its all so familiar.\n\nOr i might dream about a town or neighborhood, and years later be driving some where and see it for the first time, and even reconize the people. \n\nmy favorite dreams are the ones that mean nothing in real life. The ones that dont actually happen later, (trust me, even after two decades it starts to get creepy) like where iam flying, or being chased by people and iam so fast and strong that i get away with little effort. \n\nDreams can be very important things. More than just keeping us busy while we're asleep. :)

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 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..

It has actually been suggested that our dreams are a state where we are programmed to do whatever is is we're going to do the next day, month, year, etc. As for myself I really don't know, I guess that's kinda how I look at it. I find that sometimes they might be telling us something, or that they may simply be flashbacks from our past.

you cannot really control dreams, if you are dreaming then your brain is working, you are not resting properly. if you dont remember your dreams chances are you didnt have one and you rested well.  dreams are said to mean things, i am not sure about this, but they come from your subconsious

if a person has never seen anything before, they're perception of things is quite different than ours. even by touch, they still cannot form images like we do. our dreams consist of everything we've ever encountered, so our imagination cannot be limited.by not having that sense of image your brain relies on other stimuli to interpret their\nenviroment.

Your mind is a gift from GOd, to help you sort out things you need to know. It gives you a better chance to cope with life...if you have very unusual dreams, then pay attention to what they are telling you, and evaluate them carefully.

There is no way of controlling dreams.  Dreams only occur in deep REM when you are very relxed, and they could originate from what you ate, are worried about, etc.

I'm not sure...but dreams are usually made by random thoughts and memories. Your subconscious is constantly working 24 hours 7 days and that's what's making you dream. They are just jamming all these things together then you have a dream...most of the time it doesn't make sense or sometimes even it comes true! Dreams are sure fun and weird!
