What do dreams really mean?

The theory states that dreams don't actually mean anything. Instead, they're merely electrical brain impulses that pull random thoughts and imagery from our memories. The theory suggests that humans construct dream stories after they wake up. ... He believed that dreams revealed unconsciously repressed conflicts or wishes.

Peoplecience says that dreams have no meaning. One neurobiological theory of dreaming is the “activation-synthesis hypothesis,” which states that dreams mean nothing and are a result of electrical impulses in our brain that pulls random thoughts and pictures from our memory.

I am not a dream expert, but I have always found it fascinating how we fall asleep and enter into a surreal dream world. When the thoughts and feelings we have buried deep into our subconscious mind rise to our conscious awareness, they manifest into dream form.

Sometimes dreams can be so vivid and so real you go through the entire dream unaware you are sound asleep. I have read many books and at one time I believed that our dreams could be analyzed and interpreted and that they held what I would call secret intel into our subconscious minds.

I absolutely do not agree with the theory that our dreams mean nothing or that they come primarily from what we did throughout our day or that they are basically useless. I used to spend a lot of time on the very few dreams I had in which I actually remembered and tried to figure out what meaning they had. About a year ago my opinion and thoughts about what dreams are have been completely changed and I have an entirely new opinion on what dreams are.

I want to share these thoughts and get some feedback. I think dreaming is even more fascinating than I ever did before. I encourage and look forward to your comments and opinions if you have any and I invite you to share your dream stories as well. I am interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions.

I currently work two jobs and I am trying different ways to earn a side income as I can, online and through various gig jobs so that I can save up the money I need so that I can get the treatment I need to take care of a personal and sensitive life circumstance that I am unfortunately facing at the moment.

I feel that my current situation may be the reason I started having this sudden very intense change in my dreams and I think it is possibly my minds way of trying to cope with the my unfortunate diagnosis. I like to imagine that it could be my next world starting to open its doors a little for me now and prepare me ahead of time. Well, at least I am finding comfort by changing my perspective from a sad out come to a more mystical and exciting new experience. Its better to find something to look foward to rather then only see the doom and gloom better then the doom and gloom or sadness that death stirs up. I prefer it if you kept any comments that are the doom and gloom theory to a minimum because remember, I am a real person going through the inevitable, unknowing and uncomfortable part of life and I would rather keep my thoughts positive and enlightening. Thank you for understanding.

I don’t recall any dream in particular as a child all I remember is waking up very frequently crying and terrified. I think every dream I had when I was little was a nightmare and over time, I found a way to block them out, or at least I didn’t allow myself to hold on to them once I woke up. So for most of my life, I had very few dreams and I just figured I didn’t dream anymore. I tried different ways to try and start dreaming and I am not sure what it was that finally got me dreaming again but I finally started having very vivid and realistic dreams again a little over a year ago now but I never had dreams like I have been having ever.

In my dreams I have been meeting people or beings, some of them are familiar and some are new faces. All of them seem to be training me or maybe they are taming me, Im still not certain but they have informed me that when I come into their world, (Dreamworld) I do some unusual things that they find concerning or sometimes scary. I honestly never thought that it could be possible that when we dream we are in a real world with real people and that we have a reputation or name to uphold for ourselves. I never though that maybe we need to watch how we behave while dreaming and I never really had any control of myself or what I did while dreaming before anyway.

I kind of figured my dreams were in my own mind and no one else there was real. I guess never really thought about this before though. So now that they finally have my attention, they seem to be trying to explain the ways of their world to me for reasons still unknown to me.

The way they make it sound is that I just appear out of thin air and walk into their homes or try to interact with them as I would in my waking life except in dreamland, they have no idea who I amwhere I come from or what I want from them. But from my point of view, I am doing normal things that I do every day in my waking life. Like waling into my home that I live in and interacting with my friends and family. Once I realized this was happening I started noticing slight differences about them compared to my people. They seem a little on the dark and they always look mad they never smile or laugh and when we talk we do it telepathically they never open their mouths and speak and they always seem more like foes rather then friends.

Evil Sleep Entity Encounter

The very first dream was a bit strange. I don’t know if I had a body or not and I seemed to be gliding alongside another female being. I could only hear her voice. As we glided down an empty hospital corridor the being started explaining to me that five or more years ago my mother and I were in a horrible car accident and confused I asked what that meant. She told me that this whole time I had been in ICU in a coma and with no brain activity anymore they had realized it was time to let me go and that day they were going to pull the plug on my life support. My stomach sank really low and I said calmly ok so what comes next you know after you pull the plug? We then turned the corner into a room and I saw myself lying in the hospital bed hooked up to machines I saw what looked like a spirit rising up out of my body and I thought how strange, what is that coming out of me because I am right here. As I said that a very hideous lady in a gown with sharp teeth, black eyes and a long mouth screamed so loud it hurt my head came flying full force right at me as she went through me the dream came to an end. She is known to many as the sleep paralysis entity you know the one that holds you down when you sleep. I came to the conclusion that she feeds on my fears and when I didn’t freak out when I learned they were pulling my plug, she got angry and screamed trying to scare me. Gratefully, this was the last visit Ive had from her in a very long time. She is not a pleasant entity.

People, Places and Things

I frequently have dreams that are at my parent’s house where I grew up and where my parents still live in Colorado. I know this house inside and out. In my dream, it is very similar to how it has always been with only a few minor changes. The last time I visited there was who seemed to be a caseworker lady there. She was asking me a ton of questions. At first, I didn’t think too much of it I just answered her questions. She asked who I was and got a pretty lengthy detailed snapshot of my life. She pointed at the pictures of my kids on the wall, and I found it interesting when I woke up that I recalled and told her their full names birthdays, and bits of info about each one of them. I can vividly recall thinking rather intently in my dream. I actually remember thinking about the questions before I answered them. It seems most of my dreams have always been somewhat mindless and meaningless. I told her my parents’ names and a little about them and told her the address and what room mine was. She then asked me if I minded filling out some paperwork for her and I thought sure no problem. I sat down at the table and as I started reading the questions, I noticed a lot of the answers had answers except everyone’s names, birthdays, and ages were not right and the address was not in Colorado it was a Florida address. I remember being very confused as I came back to awake land.

Now to analyze this dream I guess one may consider disassociation, honestly, I have not looked up the interpretation as the beings who looked like my family explained the meaning and reason for this dream while in the dream. They explained that every time I show up, they have no idea who I am and it startles them that I just let myself in and act as though I know them and everything about them and that all this time they have kind of just agreed and gone along with it because they were afraid to upset me. This made me recall the many dreams of my husband and me where I find him with another woman, or he is just distant and cold and sometimes angry with me for no apparent reason. I used to think this was an insecure dream and figured I was just worried he’d leave me for someone else. Now I have realized this poor man has no idea who I am and while he looks like my husband, he is not my husband in dreamland. This makes me feel sad confused and a bit scared while in the dream because everything and everyone I have ever known has no idea who the hell I am.

Crazy Scary Water Slide

I was asked to go on this supposedly fun fast water slide. The lady asked that at the end of the slide I try to stay there keep my eyes closed and float. She didn’t want me to wake up at the end because she wanted to figure something out. SO I went down this terrifying white water control River that was through a cave and basically underground. While it was pretty it Was super-fast and intense. At the end of the ride, I did as she asked and floated until I was given further instruction. I then heard a female voice whisper in my ear could you even tell if someone was being resuscitated? As she said this, I felt soft pumping on my chest. As I started to wake up the pumping got stronger. I thought hurry up go back to sleep and find out what would happen if I were resuscitated. Bad Idea! I somehow went back into the same dream and woke up in an empty cold hospital room all alone reaching out to something gasping for air. As I was coming back to waking life, I heard a man yelling at me “Don’t ever do that AGAIN!’

This dream could possibly have a lot to do with fear of the inevitable and of the unknown. Maybe because I could possibly not get better my mind is searching for some kind of answer to life’s biggest question/ What happens when we die! That’s all I have for interpretation on that dream. The weirdest part was the sensation and realness of them pushing on my chest. So weird.

While I have so many dreams, I want to share I will stop here and hopefully I will get enough reasons to continue writing. I have come to a point in my life where I am feeling like it is crunch time and I want to leave something behind. If I can make just one story or one design that catches a lot of people’s attention, I will feel better about leaving this world. I am also giving my best shot at designing products to help raise money for this treatment, but I am not having much luck because I don’t have a following so I don’t have anyone that sees my products or finds a reason to donate to my cause. No one knows who I am why would they really care! I get it. But I am hoping that something I create catches the right attention in positive ways. I don’t have a following and am new to writing and sharing my stories.

So with that please even if you don't want to tip or give a donation I would be ever so greatful to recieve comments or subscriptions they are equally inspiring to continue sharing my stories. Again Thank you.

Disappearing Act

Again I find myself visiting my parent’s house except for this time I am aware that none of them know who I am and I am feeling a lot like an intruder. I also notice very slight differences in everyone. They almost seem a little dark and not as friendly as my real family members. It could be because I am an intruder to them, and they are not sure what I am doing in their home. I don’t know for sure. This dream is a little hazy as I can’t tell you what was going on. I just remember being in my room with my entire family there they all seemed irritated or sad I could not tell they were not talking to me. I have been noticing lately when I am talking to other beings in my dreams that they are speaking but not using words through their mouths it is telepathic.

As I lay on my bed just watching everything around me I noticed they were slowly disappearing. What I mean is starting at the top of their heads and slowly working downwards they literally started to disappear before me. This gave me a very strange feeling in my headspace like I was being pulled out of something. By that I mean like my soul was being pulled. Possibly because I was starting to wake up while trying to stay within the dream, I don’t know plus I was trying really hard to keep them from fading because I didn’t know what was happening and it made me uncomfortable. They finally talked me into allowing them to fully disappear and everything turned a medium shade of gray. Like I was in an all-grey room that had no edges.

I can imagine this dream is a result of the same fears and the unknowing hence all of the grey. There was no longer a smokescreen in front of me, and my brain had no idea what to put in front of me at that moment. Again, an uneasy feeling from this dream.

Dream interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. Although associated with some forms of psychotherapy, there is no reliable evidence that understanding or interpreting dreams have a positive impact on one's mental health. ... People appear to use motivated reasoning when interpreting their dreams. www.google.com

I found this informative article on Scientificamerican.com

WE FORGET almost all dreams soon after waking up. Our forgetfulness is generally attributed to neurochemical conditions in the brain that occur during REM sleep, a phase of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming. But that may not be the whole story.

Perhaps the most compelling explanation is the absence of the hormone norepinephrine in the cerebral cortex, a brain region that plays a key role in memory, thought, language and consciousness. A study published in 2002 in the American Journal of Psychiatry supports the theory that the presence of norepinephrine enhances memory in humans, although its role in learning and recall remains controversial.

A lack of norepinephrine, however, does not completely explain why we forget dreams so easily. Recent research suggests that dreaming lies on a continuum with other forms of mental functioning, which are all characterized by activity in the cerebral cortex. On the one side of this continuum is concentrated, focused thought; dreaming and mind wandering lie on the other, with some overlap among the types. The dreaming/reverie end involves some of the most creative and “far out” material. This type of less consciously directed thinking, however, is not easy to remember. Can you recall where your mind wandered while you were brushing your teeth this morning?

In general, we are very good at forgetting nonessentials. In fact, many of our thoughts, not just those we have while dreaming, are lost. We tend to recall only things that we think about often or that have emotional significance—a problem, a date, a meeting. Mulling over important thoughts activates our dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain region that facilitates memory.

Although most dreams vanish, certain ones tend to remain. These dreams were so beautiful or bizarre, they captured our attention and increased activity in our DLPFC. Thus, the more impressive your dream or thought, the more likely you are to remember it.
