Where do dreams come from?

It fascinating to think about where dreams come from, and why we have them. There's been a couple of people who have been able to add some great insight into this, and hopefully they can join in and share what they know.

So what do you think dreams are all about? Are they totally random, or do you think there is some sort of reason and order to them?

If anyone wants to share a dream they had, feel free.

You've seen the matrix yeah. Well the part where they're talking about what is real..I think the line goes "but what is real? if you're talking about what you can see feel and touch then real is just electrical signals interpreted by your brain". Basically that's right, we're sponges for energy. Everyday when you wake up and go about whatever it is you do you're gathering and taking in energy from the world around you. Electricity stored in your brain. When you dream the physical part of you that gathers the daily energy shuts down allowing you to sort and store that energy. When we see it though it's not in linear reality, that is to say in your dream you don't get up out of bed and start the day progressing through hour by hour. You experience it all at the same time. In line with the saying 'a picture can paint a thousand words' the images you see when dreaming is your mind painting the day, or the week. Depends on what the issue is. If we didn't dream the brain would have no way of sorting and dispersing the energy we take in daily, the electrical signals from the experiences we've had. It would eventually fry.

Whoa.

😂

I can control my dreams too 😄

i think i can.......i must considering the things i dream about 😑

okay think of the levels of conscious as an iceberg. the tip of the iceberg above the water is were our conscious is stored. our conscious is what we perceive think and feel at the exact moment. the next level a little bit under the water is were our preconscious is stored. our preconscious is where we store thoughts and feelings from before (like what you had for dinner last night).the preconscious can be easily opened. and finally the unconscious (also know as subconscious,....but the most recent term is Unconscious) (the very last part of the iceberg). is were our most deepest and darkest secrets lie. all of our repressed and hidden feelings go there. and in order to live a healthy life we need to release those unwanted feelings so we do so by dreaming. dreams are a way of helping us move on in life, some dreams may be good and other not so good. but each dream has a meaning. and some dreams may for-tell the future (in the bible the Pharaoh had a dream of ears of wheat and cattle....to make a long story short Egypt was followed by seven years of plenty the seven years of drought.). I know how to interpret dreams so if you want any answers or meanings pm and tell me your dream. I find a meaning to it and pm you my findings. every bit and detail in a dream that you remember is good. even certain colors and smells.....even letters and Numbers are important. if you have any questions feel free to ask, I will do my best to answer them. and if you want a dream you want interpreted just pm me and I will interpret it for you. or I can teach you how to interpret your own dreams.

kewl 😱

there's lots of different dreams, so what are the basic meaning behind such dreams as:

1) Flying

2) Falling

3) Something is chasing you (and your legs feel like led and can't move)

4) Dreams involving natural disasters (earthquakes, tornados, floods)

5) Scary dreams about armadillos

where do babys come from?

dreams come from people's reality. If you're nervous when you're awake you will probably have a nightmare of yourself failing in thing that you were nerveous about (I learned it recently in biology class)

well the falling and flying dreams are very common

Falling: Insecurity, with anxiety

Flying: to wish to escape.

when you have dreams where you are being chased and cant run away its because your body is in a state called Antonia were the mussels in your body are completely relaxed. and your brain will send pulses to your body (i.e. legs) but since your mussels are relaxed they cant move so it feels as though in your dream you cant run away.

and the weather it all depends on what your dreaming about. I know when you dream about a Tornado it means you need a change in your life or that a change is coming. also if you have ever been in a traumatic weather experience your dream may becoming for the emotions stored in the unconscious form that traumatic event.

Dreams are fantasys that are acted out threw our subconsious thoughts while we are sleepng.

whoah woah woah!!! stop everything!!!

I dont know. I did go to a hockey game tonighte no fight. No girls, No nothing. I dont know this is Tired DeNiro. He is very calm, comes up with rational thoughts. Another reason why Im acted werid is i got hurt today and cant move my shoulder so Im kinda just chillin and took pain killers that might be effecting my posting.

I always have dreams about either

sex

falling

king kong

or flying my flying dreams are all the same I think I will have some good dreams tonigte since I have alot of Meds in me

it all comes clear. D is poppin pills ✅

um....actually according to Freud when you have a dream about sex, you are actually dreaming about having sex with one of your parents even though it the dream they may appear as some one else.

if you dream you had sex with Gwen Stefani it was just a fantasy....repressed memory is thoughts and hidden feelings buried in the unconscious that would cause depression or emotional problems to think about in every day life. so the the unwanted thoughts are released through dreaming

Once I took so many muscel relaxers I couldnt feel my face. Stupid I know but Best 2 hours of my life.
