How much does our dreaming life effect our waking life? What hope does dreaming fulfill in our lives? What solutions to our problems can dreams provide? Can we and should we take notice of our sleeping dreams or is it mostly just mindful waste being depositied. How important is the dreaming to our lives and what is the purpose of dreams?

Wow Cardero are you sure you thought of enough questions? Ha Ha!
I love my dreams. More than my actual life most of the time. My dreams are just great, but I can't recall them being of much benefit to my awake hours, although I have had the odd dream that involved my wife than me that left me a little peeved when I woke up, for a short time. |

To me dreaming is very important. It helps me figure myself out or work through problems. Sometimes I just have really wacky dreams that are amusing or scary but nothing more. Sometimes I have symbolic dreams that clue me in to what I'm feeling, thinking or what my body or mind needs.
On rare occasions I actually have dreams that accurately predict the future. I don't really feel it's psychic so much as my mind works through the situation and returns with the most likely scenario that I haven't been able to see myself. Or perhaps it's the Ancestors giving me a little kick in the pants. As odd as it sounds I can usually tell these dreams apart because in these dreams I see myself in them whereas dreams that aren't predictions I see through my own eyes.And on the subject of the post topic, I have had dreams where I really need to go and keep going or keep looking for a place to pee and never feel relieved. That's when I know I have to wake up and really go pee. If in my dream I find relief, things get messy in real life. :P |

When I dream of peeing, I generally wet the bad - that's bad.
However, when I dream of sex......

In a psychology class in college, I had a professor describe dreaming as a mental defragmentation, serving the same purpose that defragging your hard drive does.

Where did the peeing come in? regardless I've had dreams of peeing in the bathroom or on a side of a wall and ended up waking into my own urine soaked bed (but I have only had those dreams when I drank way too much)
I don't know of life solutions but I have had dreams a number of times that I didn't understand at all but stuck with me for one reason or another, later (sometimes years later) I am standing somewhere doing something and it hits me, I dreamed this. I was quite "psychic" as a child but seemed to have lost it over the years, I think intuitiveness and psychic abilities are tools that we can use, the problem is in tapping into it and refining it, I think a lot of things get sublimated in the workaday realities, but it is still there, it's just a rusty old tool in the shed that needs a little shining up.

Wow, I haven't dreamed about sex in a LONG time... but sleepsex on the other hand...
I don't know how many times I've woken up in mid-act with painted wolf and didn't realize I initiated anything. It's rather embarrassing but also kinda fun. ![]() |

I don't dream. It sounds like fun though. I close my eyes at night and when I open them it's morning and I have no memory of sleeping. I wonder if that's what death is like.

I dunno if this is abnormal, but I am usually aware that I am asleep. I can also wake myself up voluntarily during these "aware/sleep" states.
I also have problems with sleep paralysis though. |

Encouragement to continue on as we are; or as warnings to stop certain behaviors or avoid certain pitfalls or disasters that may come our way if we don't head the warnings and change direction or take some sort of action to avert an undesired (to put it midly) outcome.... Make note of dreams. I believe it is God's way of untering our stubborn conscious minds, which are so closed minded during the day or just plain distracted by all the day to day activities like work, play and various types of entertainment... If we would only take time during the day to reflect, dreams would not be necessary... It's God's way of getting our attention when the distractions of this world are temporarily put on hold. Another question should be, Can Satan give us dreams ???? If he can, I would classify all of his dreams as nightmares...things that could come true, if we don't change our ways (day to day activities). Last edited by FFH; 06-14-2007 at 11:38 PM. |
