Dreams. Do you think they mean anything, or have any relevance to our daily lives? Do you think its all just images, or things youve created in your imaginative mind? Or can dreams be defined by science? Can a nightmare effect us more than a dream?

its the pressure by everyone else in the world to live just like them. maybe society is drawing you in? are you personally afraid of storms? if you are, then maybe it resembles a fear that youll overcome. but who knows, im no dream interpreter

I wouldent ask thie question as an wrong answer could **** you up. Ask your self what kind of a storm was it? was it frightening? What is presently going on in your life that is simmillar. What in your life presently is like a storm that cries out for resolution, then resolve it.

As an earlier person mentioned, you should read some works by Carl Jung. He put a word to the collective unconscious - all the archetypes different cultures share. The archetypes are there to help you define your dream, but no one can interpret them but you. Dreams aren't symptoms, they're symbols. There is no such thing as a nightmare. Big dreams is your unconscious mind sending a message to your conscious mind. Jung believed to be two types of dreams: little dreams and big dreams. Little dreams are about your daily life. Those are the dreams that you can find a meaning to with ease. Ah, I can go on and on about dreams.

I dreamed of peace and awoke to war. Then followed my dream into my life and came to peace. Finding my dream and following it through led me to the waking dream in which I live. The journey is from dreams to visions to happiness and it is in you.

Dreams are the product of you personal unconscious and the surely do mean something. There is a lot of incompetent psychologist around who will mess up your life interpreting them and how they affect your conscious mind and rob you in the process. Be that as it may you can interpret them yourself. There was a very competent psychologist called Carl Jung who if you read his works they can clue you in a bit on how this works.

There's an old proverb that says, "Because of abundance of occupation dreams come in." So dreams help us to work on what we need to resolve in our lives, the things we're subconsciously (or otherwise) concerned with. Nightmares seem to be an especially forceful wake up call. Once a psychoanalyst told me to view every element of a dream as an aspect of myself. "Whose mind is dreaming," they said. Maybe sometimes they're just playtime in our sleep, but if they are vivid and we remember them, I think they're worth paying attention to.
