 Welcome to my page on
dreams. On this page I hope to help you understand something
about the nature of dreams and what they sometimes
mean.

In our dreams we replay the
things happening in our lives, putting them
together in different ways. This is why some dreams
are almost lifelike but others are totally
unbelievable. While we sleep, before the day's
events get filed away in our memory, our dreams
sort through them all to make sense of them.
If
there have been disappointments or other upsets
during the day, a dream is a safety valve the
releases the tensions that may have built up inside
us. There may be things we are worried about, but
haven't admitted to ourselves yet. Dreams dramatize
these fears and anxieties in stories so that we
become aware of them- and can start to deal with
them when we wake.

Dreams remind us of people, places and
events we've forgotten. They may also tell us about what
will happen in the future. Dreams can help get us ready for
tomorrow. If we listen to them, they can guide us towards
making better choices and decisions.
Dreams can be fun,
showing us a part of our lives as a comedy or a fantasy. In
our dreams, anything is possible. We can be whoever we want
to be, go wherever we want, do whatever we want- with
whoever we want. Don't take your dreams too seriously-
sometimes it's just your brain having fun, amusing its self
while you sleep.
Some common things people
dream about are:
- falling, which could mean your
worried about failing at something
important.
- water: which involves your
feelings and emotions.
- death: not always someone dying,
it could just be a major change in you life.
- lateness: you might want to
succeed at something important, but are afraid
you're going to fail.
- marriage: if your a girl you'll
probably have someone totally unexpected and
unlikely as the groom. If your a guy those it
will probably be the real person you want to
marry.
- being naked in public: you could
want to be more open and honest instead of
hiding your true self.
- policemen: you could be worried
about having a bad conscience.

Gossamer: Guardian against Bad Dreams
|
Many of our dreams jumble
bits of everyday life around in a new way that doesn't
always mean anything. This is just our brain organizing the
day's events. This is why bad dreams don't always mean
something bad will happen. Bad dreams can be caused by being
to tired, too much worry- or even eating cheese just before
you go to bed.
Some interesting dream facts are:
- You'll remember dreams better if you wake
up straight away after it.
- When you're young you dream more. After
20, you might only dream for a few hours a night.
- If you think you never have dreams, or
just have trouble remembering them, tell yourself before
you go to sleep, 'I will dream tonight' so that you can
remember them.
- You will remember some dreams as very
clear, and some as very confusing and jumbled. What
matters is what's in the dream, not whether all of it
makes sense.
When dreaming, it's
important to always dream in faith, love and hope. Happy
dreaming!
