Top People responses about Dream

"Are the dreams really have some meanings on human's life?" These questions are difficult to anser for anyone. Check out what these people have to say about dreams.

1. By Franklin Veaux, Small business owner, sexuality educator, writer.
" No, they don't mean something...but no, they aren't completely random.

They are mostly random, though they may contain elements of things you've done, things you're thinking about, things going on in your life, or things you're feeling. The stuff of your life makes the raw ingredients that go into a mental blender, and what comes out in dreams is the chopped and rearranged fragments, distributed more or less at random.

But they don't have any kind of secret, mystical "meaning" beyond that."


2. By Adam Lawrence James 
 "This is a point of contention. Most of of the therapists I've spoken to seen to lean toward the idea that dreams don't mean anything more than the meaning we give them. On the other hand, throughout most of human history, people have believed dreams were messages, whether from the divine or (as Freud and Jung believed) the subconscious. For what it's worth, the prophet Edgar Cayce said that the best person to interpret a dream is the dreamer, because only the dreamer knows the deeply personal meaning of the symbols that appear. In the end though, this is similar to asking if there's a God. There's an answer, and many people people claim to know that answer, but nobody really knows and there are brilliant people on both sides of the debate."


3. By Avirup Mukherjee, Ardent Dreamer.
 "You are certainly having an OBE (out of body experience). You are dead in the mortal world, free from its evils, but you enter an even brighter world, the world which is entirely yours, where your greatest fears and joys come alive, The World Of Dreams.

Here, you have one thing with you which you may not have in the real world. Courage. Here, the victory is certainly yours, and you create an art out of it.

• One's subconscious mind holds the answers to all the questions in his life. It is the dream which forms a perfect bridge between you and your subconscious mind, and thus, in many cases, takes you out of depressions.

• You, unknowingly, tread the path of self development and begin to understand yourself. They show you the things that you have ignored in your life."

"Every culture has agreed that dreams have meaning,the debate is in the rules for interpretation. Freud famously said that in a dream,a symbol can stand for itself or its opposite. Well, that is clear enough. Some people let the witchdoctor or the Freudian analyst interpret the meaning of ones dreams and others, often creative people, decide to try themselves. To Federico Fellini his dream life had as much reality as waking. He had continuity in his dreams, such as learning to fly. When he stopped having dreams of flying he acted as if his muse had left him. Fellini said "It was a great tragedy, especially since I was so good ".

With a dream journal, one can observe how different concerns and situations resurface from regular life in dreams.  With careful observation, the dream self will also display choices and reactions to the situations, sometimes seemingly random and other times playing out a preset mental program.  Since the dream self is not "you" and the situation unreal, this process is easier to observe and analyze from a more objective or third party perspective.  Many dream self behaviors will even appear to be crazy.  Sometimes one can watch the dream self play out a familiar mental program from real life, such as "selling" another dream participant on a point of view or reacting to a realistic situation as one might react when awake.   

After practicing with a dream journal, one may occasionally be struck when awake with the blunt realization that you have just played out a mental program as unconsciously as in the dream.  That in fact, the conscious, aware and active "you" which is powerfully expressing free will and values in life, is a lot more asleep, pre-programmed, random and crazy like the dream self than we normally can perceive or acknowledge. 

This perspective and observation ability when applied to normal life, is one meaning from dreams which can be taken which requires no symbolic analysis or projection of dream meanings.  This awareness can open doors to new levels of self observation in day to day life."
