Dreams

Visible to anyone in the world

I think that dreams are just all your hopes and fears. I don't think they can predict the future, or give you some kind of secret or important information. That is just superstitious!

I have had dreams sometimes, like the one recently - where I have come into a lot of money and became fabulously rich, from an inheritance or something and can afford to  buy whatever I want, a big mansion, a house with a swimming pool. A big fast car, fatastic holidays and so on. This feels so good and so real and then I wake up all elated,  thinking it will really happen in the near future! Of course this is not the case ! It never happens, at first  I am a little bit disappointed, but then I realize I am not too badly off, I have my health and family and I am still living in my humble little abode (where I may add I am still very happy!)

Another dream I have is a terrible nightmare. This is where really something dreadful happens, like a war breaks out or some terrible disaster. I wake up sweating and I feel really upset.
Sometimes it's about being attacked mentally or physically by some malevolent entity ,  I think it may really happen, and then I feel absolutely terrified for even an hour or two afterwards. Then when something bad doesn't happen,  I feel this tremendous sense of relief!

Sometimes it's sad dreams about relatives who have died. That they are trying to tell me something. This is about grief that has not been properly expressed, things I wish I had said or done, it  has been pushed away to the back of my mind, because it is too painful to even think about it. My mind cannot bear to think about it, so it comes back as a sad dream.
But I do not believe it is the dead trying to contact me!

I believe dreams are just all your unconscious thoughts, ideas, wishes, fears racing around in your mind during the day, which are then put away to the back of your mind,  but then they will resurface again in your dreams. Wishful thinking or fears,  or sadness, or of what could happen but probably never will happen!  It is just like a dustbin of rejected, chaotic thoughts and ideas!

However, I do think we can learn a lot of things from dreams, like what we are afraid of most, or what we  wish for the most, but they are not real and are not based on reality at all but on fantasy and should certainly not be taken too seriously.
