Hi everybody of Minds Eye Let me just state my personal views about dreams, since I have tried to work it out what they might mean. Of course dreams have different meanings to different people, but this hereunder is one of my views and this is what I wrote: (1) Shallow dreams that seem body dreams. (2) Normal mental dreams and deep psychological dreams. (3) Dreams from the unknown, as the Afterlife world and the cosmic world. All the dreams that we dream when we are asleep are linked close together, and they can be so close together that it is hard to know when one ends and the other begins, in fact they usually overlap each other a lot. And sometimes also the daydreams can creep into the night dreams. I will talk about the daydreams later on, but now let us talk about the dreams when we sleep.
Sleeping dreams, Type-one. These dreams seem to be mostly shallow dreaming, and they are often only a reflection of life that we happen to live at that particular time, and part of these dreams we’ll dream while we are half asleep, and part of them when we are fully asleep; these dreams will usually reflect the happenings of the day before the dream, or something that we have thought that was about to happen, or something that our body needs and the need surfaces in our thought as we sleep. So in this type of dreams, it is very likely to happen, that if we have had a very busy and confuse day, our dreams will usually show that feeling of confusion, and while we dream of one thing it suddenly changes to something else, and there are times when the very same objects that we have used during the day may come into our dreams, perhaps they will be there only for a split second, or they may be replaced by something else and only the rhythm of the happenings may be present on our dream. These types of dreams seem to suggest that our mind is sorting out the happenings of the day before, and perhaps filing them in its own way, before our mind can have a real rest. A second type of these dreams is when we are asleep and our body feels the need for something, then we may very well dream of the desired things: So if we go to bed hungry in our sleep we may dream of food, and perhaps we may try to eat it but usually we would not succeed, so that our hunger remains with us. If we are thirsty we may dream of water, and of fountains and of any other sort of drinks, but somehow we don’t drink and if we do we wonder why it doesn’t quench our thirst; and this is all because our body needs is still present. If we need to go to the toilet for a piss, we will dream of trying to find a toilet, and we will have all sorts of problems to find a spot to piss, and when we have found one and try to piss we wake up, and find out that we have really to go to the real toilet. If at night we have a bad digestion or something else that affect our well being, whether we are aware of it or not, we may very likely have a nightmare. Here it seems to me that our mind doesn’t want our body to relax completely, so we have a nightmare in order to keep our circulation going faster that it would normally do if we were asleep, and in doing so we may solve more readily our present physical problem. So all these types of dreams seem to have a purpose, which is to adjust any difference needed between mind and body while we are asleep. And also our mind needs to dream in order to review those day happenings, and file them in its own way. I believe that it works very much like this: For example; if you feel a clean glass with dirty water, and then leave it on the bench overnight: In the morning you will find that most of the impurities in the water are settled at the bottom, and a few that are lighter than water at the top, so most of the water now is clear water. In a parallel way like the glass of water, while our body rests at night our mind works by settling things down, so during our dreams our mind seems to be looking at the impurities settling down, and our dream are the process of settlement and purification, and when everything has settled our mind then will file them to keep a record and shut them down. And now I’d like to be excused ahead of time before I say it, because what I am going to say may be considered to be rude, but it is the realty of life and dreams, so it is essential that I say it here. I am talking about those erotic dreams, which are usually brought about from lack of sexual activities while we are awake, so that our libido builds up and it shows up in our dreams. Here our dream is telling us to do something about it, because if we don’t we run an unhealthy risk, the least if which is of perhaps having a wet dream. Other risks are involved also, but they don’t belong in this sort of writings of dream world, and I will talk about them later on if and when I get the chance. The conclusion for this type of dreams is that: Dreams type-one have something to do with the ever present body needs of the dreamer.
