Dreams

Do dreams have any particular meaning or are they just random visions that our brain expels throughout our sleep? Dreams are a proven method for the brain to register events, thoughts, and experiences that it has had during the waking hours. Without dreams our brain will actually short circuit and we will struggle to maintain our level of functionality. Many people believe that dreams have hidden meanings and that they can be interpreted. Unless we are reliving a trauma during our sleep our dreams are rarely straightforward. We see things that don’t make any sense and we connect one event to another in a seemingly random fashion when we dream.

The analysis of dreams is not altogether a science but it isn’t a hoax either. There have been studies on sleep patterns and dream patterns that can help indicate what you might not be able to uncover during your waking hours. In most cases, dreams mean very little even if they are disturbing. You can have sexual dreams about people that you are not the least bit interested, those that do not meet the appropriate age requirements, or those that do not meet with your gender identification and it doesn’t mean that you are sexually defective. It simply means your brain is processing something about your own sexuality and your circumstances. Dream interpretation runs along the lines of many venues, including the psychological study of post traumatic recovery. Having your dreams analyzed can be fun, but it is not bound to be correct unless it is done by a professional with a medical degree.

There are people, who dream about power. In fact such people happen very often. Maybe their number is even more than those, who don’t strive for power. This wish is absolutely normal and is one of the manifestations of the so-called sensible egoism. Power means career, higher wage rates and other preferences and privileges. On the other hand, people often abuse this wish and dream about immeasurable power. This is a deviation and can be considered as a step to madness. For these people power becomes an end in itself. They dream about surpassing others and humiliating their subordinates. These dreams are usually caused by inhibitions and unaccomplished desires. Many people fail to fulfill themselves in this severe contesting world. Their mind can’t bear such a humiliation and they begin to dream about absolute authority at least at their office. They become unbearable chiefs and heads of departments. They get pleasure when they jeer at other people, understanding that they can’t oppose, fearing to be fired. However, these people are very vulnerable and defenseless, though they mask it professionally. When they begin to fear something, all their real nature is disclosed and unveiled. This is logical, as if a person dreams about absolute power, then something has gone wrong with hin/her.

There are people, for whom reality is not so interesting as the world of their own reveries. On the one hand, this point of view deserves respect, as our life is really far from being ideal and all people go through moments, when they want to escape from reality somehow. On the other hand, we must take a sober view on things. It is impossible to escape from realty completely. People are social beings and can’t live without society. Those who try to do it, come to a bad end. People, who prefer to live in the world of their dreams are usually unsociable, spend too much time at home. They go for a walk seldom. They don’t have many friends, prefer virtual communication, etc. The only way for them to socialize is to enter organizations, where they can meet like-minded persons. The most widespread and large organization of this kind is tolkienists. When a person enters this organization, he/she understands that his/her life stile is appreciated by a great number of people. All of them were also withdrawn and reserved once. They go on being withdrawn with the rest of people, but in this organization they feel like a duck to water. Thus they transform their dreams from their world of dreams to the real world and make their dreams come true. In this case they socialize with a group of people, but they lose ties with the rest of society. However, we must admit that they are not concerned with this fact.

All people have their dreams. Each person has many dreams but at least one of them is most important for him/her. People are very different. It is impossible to find two absolutely identical persons. That is why people’s dreams are also different and refer to various spheres. They can refer to professional growth, something very special and intimate. Dreams may also concern welfare in general and money in particular. As you see a dream always depends on personality, personal aims and plans for the future. Dreams appear in childhood and haunt us all our lives. We get breeding, education, form our views and plans. From these views form our dreams. Dreams are considered differently by people. Some consider them to be a guideline for their lives, others consider them merely as dreams and nothing else. That is, they apply no effort for their actualization. This refers mostly to passive people, for whom their dreams are an end in itself. They spend all their lives in dreams and do nothing. This is rather a harmful position. In some years such a person will understand that he/she has live his/her life for nothing. Wasting times never brings positive results. A person must always sort out his/her dreams. If a dream is reasonable and sensible, a person should try to bring it to life, if a dream is unreal, it is better to leave it and never return to it in future. Useless dreams take time and make a person irresolute, because if a dream is not implemented into life, this tendency spreads on all other dreams and makes them unrealizable too. That is why each dream must become a goal for a person or should be rejected forever.
