Dreams are defined, loosely, as a "sequence of sensations, images, thoughts, etc., passing through a sleeping person's mind”

 

Dreams reveal a lot about our personality, our hopes and fears and that’s why dream interpretation is considered so important by many people. Dream interpretation falls into several different groups that can be categorized as:

 

• Dreams from the physical body

• Food (digestive dreams)

• Health

• Psychological

• Dreams from the spiritual realm

• Precognitive and future

• New Information and Knowledge

• Dreams of the deceased or spirit guides

With dream interpretation it is important to understand our dreams in the context of our thoughts, conscious and unconscious, expressed or repressed.

Our dreams are free and unhindered. Dreaming can serve as an outlet for our thoughts and stimuli we repress during the day. Dreaming can serve as a platform to warn for the future, explain the past, or even teach lessons about ourselves and how to grow and improve.

As we go to sleep at night and slip into our dream state, we are liberated and can behave and act in a manner that we do not allow ourselves in our waking life.

A mysterious element of dreams where people of diverse backgrounds, of varying experiences, and of different ages can all share the same dreams.

This serves to remind us that we are all not that different as we may imagine.

Philosophers and psychologists have argued that our shared dream experiences connect us as a human race. After all, we share similar concerns, hopes and fears.
