Dreams are successions of images, ideas,emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not definitely understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation and a subject of philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history.
I've come across a lot of peepz who claim they never ever dream. Is that possible? And some who do, claim they never remember their dreams when they wake..what the heck are dreams anywayz?!
So tell me, what's your take on dreams? Are they of significant value, a figment of one's imaginations?Do you think it's a subconscious journey of a wandering mind? Do you believe they have any significant and spiritual undertone?
Share whatcha think...!
While I often hesitate to discount the significance of dreams, I strongly believe that they are mere subconscious realisation of imaginations. You dream during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase of your sleep and these dreams are often a reflection of your conscious imaginations. Above all, the interpretation of dreams is strongly loaded with cultural values, suggesting that there are no spiritual meanings to them. #S#
ReplyDeleteI believe in dreams.Like seriously.
ReplyDeleteOf course they hold strong spiritual significance.Right from when I was a kid I always did dream dreams that came to pass.Not all dreams are messages from God but some are.
Yes na I don dream of you tire.
ReplyDeleteI do believe in dreams,dreams are God way of tell us things to happen,dreams can come also as a result of our state of mind during the day.od
ReplyDeleteFor me good dreams er impotant, cos most of d good dreams I have had, came true, d bad dreams, I pray against, like a night in my dream I saw my Boss giving me cash, d next day afternoon he gave me d cash. Dis is just one of so many. Micheal
ReplyDeleteAnyone who constantly dreams is mentally disturbed;he/she needs to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible.Although I believe in dreams cos I do dream sometimes,i still believe one shouldn't dream at all times.
ReplyDeleteAnon3.08pm,are u implying that all dreams that come to fruition are merely coincidence as they are only subconscious realisations of imaginations?
ReplyDeleteFor me dreams represents a lot of things depending on my circumstance and occurences at the given time. If am worried or happy about something, i tend to dream along that line, but then again, will i really call that dreaming or a reinforced captured of my earlier thoughts in the course of the day. I remember as a younger boy just starting out dating and my first attempt at having sex, i was mortified that my girlfriend was pregnant as a result i keep seeing babies, maternity wards, baby cribs and much related stuff in my dream that it became worrisome and nightmarish, but i eventually outgrow it.
ReplyDeleteAt this age, when I am conceptualizing a project being a builder, I am able to keep it in my subconcious and "sleep" on it, there comes the changes and innovation with a project. so i cannot say its now a dream.
Then again when am very tired, i mean extreamly tired i tend not to dream or remember what i dream about. Most times for me, its like a nostalgia when i dream of things of the past and find a new meaning to past occurences.
At times some bizzare stuff happens in dreams like being bitten by a snake, for me i immediately wake up and re adjust. For others, that might mean someone is trying to backstab, i dont seek external interpretations to me dreams though.
And there is premonition, you could dream of someone and the person dies a few days later or some of my growing up dream beliefs that if you lose an upper tooth a family member from your dads side dies and lower tooth for mum, it kinda worked for a while..hehehehe..
Anon3:25pm,you need your head examined.No jokes.
ReplyDeleteWell said @Kasala..
ReplyDeleteSome dreams are high significant. Remember the bible says; the young shall dream dreams and d old shall see visions, bible dnt talk abt things dat dnt mater. Some dreams comes as spiritual visions of wht is to happen, some re as a result of imagination and interactions, some re wondering of the mind. I BELIEVE IN DREAMS
ReplyDeleteWhy dream when i can achieve a whole lot more with my eyes wide open?
ReplyDeleteWord!
Of course dreams are spiritual!God has given us the grace to dream,a lot happens when we sleep.This is just God's way of revealing stuff to us.
ReplyDeleteI believe dreams reveal things to you,cos a nation without a vision perishes.
