Since the dawn of mankind, we’ve been searshing for the
answer of questions : What are dreams ? Why do we dream ? I
believe that the reason behind the visions we get isn’t really cristal clear,
so the answer of this simple question is not as easy as it seems. I never knew what
dreams were for, I never understood my dreams. Sometimes I remember all of it, with
all the minor details, and sometimes I
remember nothing but flashes, which can be very irritating, especially
invovling someone or something I’m really interested in knowing.
However, I came after all to a conclsion which may be true or false. Whenever I
think too much about something before I sleep, I usually dream about that
particular thing. It’ odd isn’t it ?
Dreams have the power to somehow draw our true fantasies as well. They are
anything we can fathom, anything our hearts secretly desire. There are no
limits to dreams. They are those floating images in our minds, images that are
for some people unreahsable and meaningless, while for others, dreams are like
a silver lining in a limitless world where everything is possible . We’ve been
always told to follow our dreams in order to have a successful life. You dream
about something ? « Take it »
Not all dreams can be explained, I mean they are interpreted
in several ways. Some say that we dream about what happened all day, some
believe that dreams are like an advise from God and therefore we should follow
it. And as I said at the begining, dreams can also be the last thing we think
about before turning in.
In philosophy, we
studies a bit about dreams with the famous “Sigmund Freud”. He has a complete different explanation to
dreams. In his books and sayings, his theoary is built on the fact that dreams
are the fruits of our repressed feelings and desires which can’t be by any
means fullfilled nor accepted because of the pressures we are restricted
to. Those curbed feelings hide in our “unconscious” escaping from our “conscious” to
later reappear as loose images in our dreams.
To conclude, dreams remain a mystery, an idiosyncrasy, a
delimma in our inner selves but there is one thing I have no doubt on: dreams whether clear or foggy gives us an idea
on the coming events, be it good or bad.
