A
word.......About our dreams...
Our
dreams are one of the most fascinating parts of our
unconscious mind... dreams can give us the answers to questions or problems in our life. Dreams
are formed by the unconscious mind, therefore, trying
to alert the conscious mind of things
in our life that must take notice... issues we need to deal with. The key to
understanding your dream is to pick it apart.... identify what the dream symbols
are, and how you feel in the dream. Below are some fascinating dream
pages links. To help you understand your dreams. one tip I suggest is try keeping
a dream journal and recording your dreams, this will help you to remember
them as well as keep track of them..... well I wish you good luck
with the pages below!!!!......

Why
Do We Dream ?
...and
just what ARE dreams, anyway? Scientists are still debating that one.
Remember, they haven't figured out what most of our brain capacity is
used for, much less what dreams are or why we dream...so they'll be busy
on this one way past our lifetimes! Yes, there are many theories...but
nothing is 100% scientifically proven. So perhaps it would be better to
ponder a quote from a much Higher Source, albeit a
"non-scientific" one :
Now,
don't run off screaming in fear that a bible-thumper is about to force
religion down your throat...I have listed quotes from a variety of
sources to help show people from different backgrounds how important
dreams have been considered in many cultures and spiritual belief
systems, not just the ethereal types like myself. Meanwhile, although
everyone has a different opinion, it is up to the individual to decide
what dreams may mean to him or her specifically, and it all depends on
whether one looks at it from an aspect of pure scientific proof.
psychology, or faith that something more exists for us than a mere
physical life; and having the ability to experience life with spiritual
enlightenment and intuition...rather than believing that all this
"stuff" called life is just a quirk of nature. The above
links to other sites that deal in all these theories & more listed
on my Dream Links page, so I will leave that decision up to you, the
individual dreamer.
My
main interest & focus is in the actual dream interpretations
themselves, because I already know why *I* dream (smile), and don't even
spend time debating that point any longer; but I didn't want to leave
students doing research papers on dreams without resources.
(Good luck, if that includes you!)
Now,
on with how to get started interpreting your own dreams...or simply
remembering them, for starters. Starting & keeping a dream journal
will help you accomplish this goal.
Our
dreams are the source
for those illusive,
below-consciousness feelings
that tend to dive for cover
when they meet
the light of day.
If we are persistent
about searching for
and seeking our dreams,
and our inner self,
the line between the conscious
and the unconscious
will
blur.

Quotes!!
Dreams
have been a source of inspiration (and education!) for many creative
thinkers, artists, writers, scientists, and other human beings engaged
in the voyage of discovery we call "Life". Listen to what some
of these remarkable people have to say....
" In a dream, in a vision of the night, when
deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he
openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instructions." words of
Elihu, in Job 33.15.....Holy Land, sometimes B.C.
"Now Allah has created the dream not only as a means of guidance
and instruction, I refer to the dream, but he has made it a window on
the Unseen. " Words of the Prophet Mohammed, Arabia, 7th
century A.D.
"Once upon a time, I, Chuang-tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly,
flittering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a
butterfly...suddenly I awoke... Now I do not know whether I was then a
man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming
I am a man." Chuang-tzu Chinese philosopher.
"W
hat dreaming does is give us the fluidity to enter into other worlds by
destroying our sense of knowing this world...Dreaming is a journey of
unthinkable dimensions, a journey that, after making us perceive
everything we can humanly perceive,makes the assemblage point jump
outside the human domain and perceive the inconceivable." Carlos
Castenada American anthropologist and mystic.
"I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is
very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which
nature can't touch with decay." Bob Dylan (b.1941), U.S.
singer, songwriter.
"If a little dream sharing is dangerous, the cure for it is not to
share dreams less, but to share dreams more, to share dreams all the
time." Richard Catlett Wilkerson (1955-2075), Global
Cyber-Dream Pioneer.
"The Language of the Dream/Night is contrary to that of Waking/Day.
It is a language of Images and Sensations, the various dialects of which
are far less different from each other, than the various Day-Languages
of Nations." Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), English
poet.
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on." William
Shakespeare .
"I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever
after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like
wine through water, and altered the color of my mind." Emily
Bronte Englist novelist.
And God Said......
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, "I saw my son nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, "I know."
