Did you ever wake up from a dream and couldn't stop thinking about it all day? Wondering what it meant and why you would dream something like that. "In an average lifetime, you would have spent a total of about six years of it dreaming. That is more than 2,100 days spent in a different realm."( Dreammoods.com) Analyzing dreams has been a fascination in the world for a long time. Dreams were once documented on clay tablets. Society members saw dreams has a part of reality and was also a very powerful world. When people would talk about their dreams others would think they were crazy, Ill in the head, addicted to drugs, or they were just under anxiety. Sigmund Freud introduced the importance of dreams and what there secret meaning was. Because of Freud we found out some pretty cool things about dreams like if you dream your going bald then it shows you may have a lack of self esteem or you worry about getting older. If your dreaming that you are in pain suggests that you are being to hard on yourself. Knowing key things like this can really be helpful to some in therapy. Decoding dreams has come a long way and it gets more and more exciting the more we learn about it. After all one- third of your life is spent sleeping so why not try and figure out what your dreams are telling you!

The night after our first blogging class, I had a dream that I came to class completely naked. Wonder what that meant? My sister in law said I must have been really stressed about blogging for the first time. lol
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. I've never had a dream like that before but it can mean your unprepared for a project at work or school. It could also mean that you fear something that will bring public attention to you! and that people will see right through you! That is just a couple of things it could mean.
DeleteThe little bit of history you told about dreams is really interesting. I think most of the dreams I have would be reoccuring dreams and progressive dreams, or atleast those would be the ones I remember. I remember reading somewhere that a very large percent of the dreams we sream are never even realized once we wake up. I've had the same dream about once a year since I was five or six years-old. Nothing ever changes. Also if I wake up when I'm dreaming, then go right back to sleep my dreams usually pick up right where they left off, even if I wake up five or six times! I always just go right back to slepp because the suspense kills me. I just have to know the ending. Sometimes this can be a bad thing though, like when it's a nightmare. You wake up and think it's all over, then you do back to sleep and the dang thing just picks up where it left off!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool topic! What made you want to do dreams?
ReplyDeleteI only did this topic angel was because i took psych last year and the one project we did was decoding a dream and it was really interesting so I just decided to use it as my blog.
