Dream or reality
This morning I woke up and checked my mobile to see if person X had sent me a text message… Thank god it was only a dream. It amazes me that a dream can feel so true that I really had to check my phone in order to confirm what should not need to be confirmed. So of course I did some research in order to see what the world wide web has to say about my dream…
Ok, so this is what I found on world-of-lucid-dreaming.com:
“Interpreting Dreams
Normal dreams present us with important messages from the subconscious mind. They are based on your thoughts and experiences from the day before, and sometimes memories from long ago. The unconscious mind releases repressed fears, anxieties and desires through conceptual imagery – the coded language of the subconscious brain.”
Ok, so what I dreamt was some sort of coded message sent from my subconscious, so either I’m repressing a desire and my dream is trying to tell me that I should do something about it or its what I personally believe (hope), that I fear that my dream might come true (it wont because I wont let it) so that’s why its haunting me in my sleep…
I found some really interesting facts about dreams on a web page called boredpanda.com, here are some of the facts that I found on their page:
“Men tend to dream more about other men. Around 70% of the characters in a man’s dream are other men. On the other hand, a woman’s dream contains almost an equal number of men and women. Aside from that, men generally have more aggressive emotions in their dreams than the female lot.”
“You can not only have sex as pleasurable as in your real life while dreaming, but also experience an orgasm as strong as a real one without any wet results. The sensations felt while lucid dreaming (touch, pleasure and etc..) can be as pleasurable and strong (or I believe even stronger) as the sensations experienced in the real world.”
“If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. Whatever symbol your dream picks on it is most unlikely to be a symbol for itself.”
Even dogs dream, as the below video clearly shows…
