Hi everyone, I have heard lots of stories about people and their dreams….some say it scares them….some laugh at it….some see something good coming……I have never experienced such dreams…..I would like to know that does a dream mean really anything……does it hold a special meaning…or its just that people build something up!!!!

Well, certainly the images the brain produce during one's dreams are not random (at least for me). My dreams tend to have a coherent pattern of events that make sense at the time of their inception.

I would guess that certain dreams may mean 'something', that could be merely that the brain is trying to make sense of the information it has acquired during the day, or perhaps, it is dwelling on some problem that is particularly troubling to the individual.

Trying to find the true meaning behind why someone really had a particular dream is probably impossible in many cases, and more likely, meaning is attributed to it where none belonged.

There are two faces to it…some believe and some do not. Everyone has his own story. But I feel that the dreams are somewhat a part of our life and they do convey a message. Like I had a dream of going on jogging and I was continuously jogging ….and the dream broke. And when I had the dream analysis I found that it meant my motivation was becoming higher and when I put it in my life…its true. I am feeling motivated with the things around i.e. to be more hard-working and achieve something.

I would not worry about it. Some people are stuck on a subconscious ... message... embedded in the dream. The power of one of these things has the ability to induce an instant psychotic break (the exact reaction depends on the state of the person at that exact instance). If tampered with by the person or anyone else that decides to give his opinion about the dream the reaction can be... impressive.

Such people that feel there is something to their dreams, or that their dreams are trying to tell them something are nearly always correct. The best thing for such a person to do is to recognize that the strong feeling is real, but to drop it at that until a professional can help you with it. Any effort to delve into it on your own will most likely become highly disturbing and could result in suicide, depression or other psychotic behavior due to a psychotic break. There is a list of lesser things that can happen but suicide and depression are ones that people generally pay attention to.
