Okay so I remember my dreams almost every night. My dreams can be anything from running from people with M16's to talking to sick killer whales to hanging out with my deceased brother. I write down many of my dreams mostly the ones with my brother and the really vivid ones. I don't really ever see a meaning behind them and most of them seem so weird and out in left field. I tend to have more scarey dreams than anything. I read that dream symbols are not universal and that they mean different things to each person who dreams them, so how do I interperate them? I also read that you can train yourself to answer tough questions in your dreams, what do you think? I have also been trying to have a lucid dream, it worked once, I realized I was wearing a watch, which I never do in my waking life, so I realized I was dreaming and the first thing I wanted to do was float up in the air. I started floated but then quickly started falling then I woke up. That was the closest I had come to lucid dreaming. Anyway just wanted to here thoughts on what you guys think of dreams.

Some time ago I wrote a little article about dreaming, so here is the link, though I could quote it here too  QUOTE Dreaming
You dream when you sleep, don't you ? everyone dreams something, every time they are sleeping, due to our brain still works, even if you are out of order, usually you can't remember what you dreamed, that means that you slept very well, but if you do remember something, it is usually the last moments before waking up, couple of seconds. It is believed that when you dream all movement and views are happening 7 times faster than in our real life, hey maybe real life is a dream too ? hum, but that is another topic.. it is faster, because the brain is so powerful and fast and can handle information so fast, that you can't believe it yourself.. to sum up, if you sleep 7 hours, you dream something for 7 hours and if the theory is right 7*7=49 hours (another longer life ?). But what can we dream ? the brain is so powerful, that it can remake everything it wrote, so if you saw something you will never forget it, just that it will be somewhere deep inside you. If you're dreaming a place you know and you walk to a place you still weren't, it will be created from different parts. The most enjoying dreams are when you understand and know that you're dreaming, that rarely happens, you can feel like a GOD there, just that this effect does not take long, in my opinion dreams can be created with machines, by creating some dream machine which could control it, it is even much better than some Virtual World, because your brain can send an exact signal of touch, taste to you, you can dream that you're kissing, if you ever kissed of course and think that the emotion is real, even if no one is near you, you can dream that you eat ice cream, even if you really don't, but the feeling is the same. I don't believe that dreams can tell the future, because the brain only executes things which already happened or from different parts put a puzzle together, not the future. Nightmares and etc. can be dreamed due to you have something inside you what scares you, usually if you're afraid or you watched a horror movie and went to sleep and your brain just creates something. Of course dreams can be very stressful, you might get insomnia or never get a good night sleep due to them, therefore you can lower the stress too, if you dream nice things. It is nothing more than your brain showing pictures to you with incredible speed in addition sometimes with taste and touch.

I'm in AP Psychology in high school and we learned about dreams a bit ago. There are a few differing theories about what dreams are. One is that its the Unconsciouss's way of fulfulling different wants. Another theory is that its just a jumble of incoming messages from the senses and that the brain is just trying to make sense of them. And one more is that dreams help us remember things about the previous day.

If you ask the whether dreams have meaning, I must reply with the question of whether waking life has meaning. Some philosophers actually argue that there is no such thing as meaning. I think that meaning is always something we choose to see in things, and our lives are richer for whatever meaning we see in it (whatever the part of life it is, in which we see meaning). This is at the root of the difference between religious and non-religious points of view as well. QUOTE REM sleep stimulates the brain regions used in learning. This may be important for normal brain development during infancy, which would explain why infants spend much more time in REM sleep than adults (see Sleep: A Dynamic Activity). Like deep sleep, REM sleep is associated with increased production of proteins. One study found that REM sleep affects learning of certain mental skills. People taught a skill and then deprived of non-REM sleep could recall what they had learned after sleeping, while people deprived of REM sleep could not. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/brain_b...nding_sleep.htmREM sleep is not the same as dreaming, for there seem to be purely physiological functions fulfilled during REM sleep. Scientifically we have no means to study the function of dreams and the function of REM sleep separately. It is reasonable to assume that dreams play a role in the functions of REM sleep, but there is no way to be sure.

Well then that would be a dream of life, wakin or otherwise.QUOTE(angputter @ Dec 13 2005, 12:09 PM) I was visited last night by a dream of so strange and vivid a kind that I feel impelled to communicate it to you, not only to relieve my own mind of the impression which the recollection of it causes me, but also to give you an opportunity of finding the meaning, which I am sill far too much shaken and terrified to seek for myself. It seemed to me that you and I were two of a vast company of men and women, upon all of whom, with the exception of myself—for I was there voluntarily— sentence of death had been passed. I was sensible of the knowledge—how obtained I know not—that this terrible doom had been pronounced by the official agents of some new reign of terror. Certain I was that none of the party had really been guilty of any crime deserving of death; but that the penalty had been incurred through their connection with some regime, political, social or religious, which was doomed to utter destruction. It became known among us that the sentence was about to be carried out on a colossal scale; but we remained in absolute ignorance as to the place and method of the intended execution. Thus far my dream gave me no intimation of the horrible scene which next burst on me,— a scene which strained to their utmost tension every sense of sight, hearing and touch, in a manner unprecedented in any dream I have previously had.

to add what BrickTamland said little is know about dreams the only known facts about dreams are that they are unconcious and are sometimes hard to figure out. But their are common dreams people have one of the most famous of them is they see them selfs falling from the sky and right before they hit hte ground they wake up. some people say this dream symbolizes that the person is having a heart attack and if they don't wake up by the time they hit the ground they won't wake up ever. But here is dream that i had that was very distrubing to me at least and once you read it as well it will be disturbing to you as well. like this one dream i had it was xmas eve day 1 day before the huge earthquake/tsunami that hit last year. in my dream i was in the stone church with candles burning for light almost live a mideval church, anyways I was at the alter praying at a picture (of jesus i think). and then this huge earthquake erupted and then everyone started screaming and running while a small group of people where praying and the church began to fal apart and then the ground split open, right before i started to leave i turned around turned around I saw the man in the picture smile and disappear and was ooh **** and then i woke up scared and sweating trying to figure what the hell happen by then it was time to go the xmas service and then the news hit about the earthquake and then I was like HOLY ****. to me that was most disturbing dream i have ever had in my life. of course the oldest dream i remember is that i was maybe 4-5 living at my family farm before moving. anyways i was sleeping and in my dream i was surround by fire screaming and calling out to anyone to get me out of their and while do that was trying to figure out how to get out as well. so thats a few dreams for people to think about.

lol i have crazy weird dreams too =/ but i hardly ever remember them, and if i do, it's only like snatches of it. i don't think dreams mean anything that's GOING to happen. it's more like, it conveys your feelings (though sometime inaccurate...i had a dream where i was trying to talk this guy's mom into letting me marry her son...who i don't like...seirously...o.O) but they're just there to remind you what can happen and what has. =]

Does this dream possibly mean anything?
Do Dreams Really Mean Anything?
Last night, I was just having a regular dream that usually doesn't freak me out or anything... But all of a sudden, during the dream, a message and a voice appeared. Saying "I've chosen you" and some other words... I couldn't remember completely... And right when that happened, I woke up in sweat. Usually, when that happens to me, right when I go back to sleep a different dream appears. But, not this time... But, for some reason, during this dream, everytime I thought about the voice or did something... it wasn't random, but, my left side located right under my breast close to my ribs start pounding and it was very painful, and I could feel it in the dreams. Everytime I had this pain, I would wake up and still feel some of the pain. I thought about it and thought maybe it was in my head. But, when I was changing into different clothes about three hours after waking up, I noticed a large red area around the place the pain was. I'm really freaked out and I'm starting to get constant chills. I am serious about this.

My mom has the same exact thing but her dreams are different...Though like when she dreams of fire someone died when she dreamt of my to grandpas nude they died..When she dreams of someone cracking eggs that person gets pregnant..Shes had many other dreams that came true in life and it almost freaks me out when she tells me about them shes even told her mom about it before anything happens..And her grandma had the same thing..So I don't know I think they mean something..And iv'e also had the same things happen to me but theres stuff in my dream I have to pay attention to..And it sucks even worse when you don't remember the person in the dream..And when you do your afraid for that person..

future
Do Dreams Really Mean Anything?
they way I see it is its your connection to your future and past self after all we are not alone on this planet. And every body should know that and u have more than one time line it just depends on how you take your as to what will happen and where you will go but as far as your dream you are the one with the open mind not your husband it is said that women use both sides of there brain as men use one which I believe to be a total lie but as you get older the only way for you to communicate with spirits is in your sleep as to you have closed your mind off to every thing other than what happens and you probably believe in life after death. When we were kids we could see spirits that walk the earth as to we still had an open mind but if you focused on opening your mind you would be amazed and some of the things that you would see in your sleep and during real live but that is just my point of info. It might not help but it might.. And also were you really close to his uncle and if so that is why you were seeing that

My dream
Do Dreams Really Mean Anything?
So I have had dreams before, but mostly I have dreamless sleep. I think dreams have something to do with things you have been thinking about and dealing with. For example, I did a dating questionaire online for hours and when I slept I had a dream about love. And once when I was talking to my math teacher about my slipping grades and then, I dreamt about failing math. I don't have dreams very often so those are the only examples I can think of. So thats my theory.
