meaning of dreams (a guide to interpreting dreams)

Dreams are not just some hallucinations or improperly organized thoughts that just bump into your mind while you are asleep but instead dreams are messages that are sent to you by your subconscious mind in order to take action about some problem or some issue that you may have been ignoring. Dreams can also be a way of satisfying unmet needs, for example if one of your friends always bullies you, you can see yourself beating him in a dream.

Interpreting dreams is the process of analyzing the meaning of your dream and finding out the message that your subconscious mind is trying to send you.

why do we dream?

When you fall asleep your conscious mind becomes dormant and your subconscious mind becomes active. All of your worries, fears and problems are stored into your subconscious mind and so when it becomes more active some of those worries and fears show up in the form of dreams, but they rarely show up in their real form, instead they appear in an encoded form because this is the way the subconscious mind uses for communication. For example if you were afraid much of your boss you may see an evil ghost chasing you in your dream while in reality this ghost is no more than the symbol your mind uses for your boss. That’s how dream interpretation works; you just try to decode those symbols that you see in order to know their relevance to you and so know the meaning of the dream.

why do i have reoccurring dreams

Your subconscious mind keeps sending the messages as long as the problem exists, that's why some people have the same dream visiting them often without knowing why. Think about it, all of these thoughts, ideas and unsolved problems that are trapped inside your subconscious mind constitute a very big load on your mind, they must be vented somehow and as you may have already guessed, they are vented through dreams. Unless you can interpret your dream and understand its meaning these kinds of dreams may keep visiting you.

Lucid dreams

lucid dreams are special kind of dreams where you become aware that you are dreaming but the in same time you don’t wake up, by practice you could learn how to induce lucid dreams and then control the events you see in the dream, this could be used to dream of what you want or to get rid of a nightmares.
