frequently asked questions about dreams (FAQs) |
Q: What are dreams? A: Dreams originate from our subconscious minds, and we experience them while we are sleeping. Some theorists believe that dreams are the mind's way of psychologically processing events from the day, and hold no meaning. I subscribe to a different belief. Dreams, in my opinion, are the Universe's way of sending us messages concerning the various aspects of our daily lives. Q: Does everyone dream? Yes. There is a misconception that some people don't dream. It is estimated that we have an average of five to seven dream episodes per night, the last one being anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour in length. What the misconception about not dreaming is really about is a matter of not being able to recall your dreams. Q: What can I do to remember my dreams? First, there has to be a willingness to remember your dreams. This requires a commitment on your part. It is recommended that you keep a pen and paper near the bed, and when you awaken, write down whatever you can remember, no matter how insignificant to you it might seem. By using this method, you are training your conscious mind to remember more, and reinforcing your commitment to working with your dreams. |
