Analyze Your Dreams...

They Carry Some Meaning For You!

Ask the good doctors why people dream. And they come up with some technical mumbo-jumbo about the chaotic dance played by chemicals on the dance floor of the brain. Something about the "amide derivatives of fatty acids" being generated by the parasympathetic nervous system that lulls us into sleep. Something about the rapid movement of eye balls beneath eyelids. Something about the regrouping of the events of the waking hours into different storage slots of the long-term memory. Mumbo-jumbo, mumble-jumble...

Anything but a definite, concrete answer to the basic question: "Why people dream?"



Not that I have anything against the good doctors. The point here is the general attitude of the general public towards alternative answers to questions for which the white-coats don’t have any answers themselves. Let's be open to the possibility that the scientists are not Gods, and are restrained and hemmed in by their own self-imposed straitjackets of logic and empirical studies, poor chaps.

So, why do people dream? One theory is that dreams are a gateway of communication between the deeply-seated subconscious and the awake-and-alert, surface-level conscious components of the mind. It is through the movie-like sequences of dreams that the subconscious communicates to the conscious mind things that the latter might otherwise not be able to fathom on its own, or might be too busy to take notice of. [But why? I have still not answered this question. Heck, I wouldn't be writing this blog if I had answer to all such questions, would I? :) ]



Take for instance, some very common dreams that people normally report. One oft-quoted dream is walking around half-naked in a busy thoroughfare, usually with the private anatomy uncovered. Surprisingly, the others in the dream don't appear surprised at this parade of nudity in public. Another is sitting down for defecation in a toilet which doesn't have any doors - so there's no privacy. To top this, you have somebody peering into the toilet and talking to you, while you are in the midst of the act.




Then there are dreams involving relations and relationships. Boyfriends, girlfriends, current spouse, former spouses, current employer / boss / supervisor, former bosses, all appear in sequences that are a variation of reality - how things actually may have happened.




Another category of dreams is nightmares - where scary things happen to you. Usually there is a fearful element that threatens to take your life or the life of your kith and kin. It is almost like the Boggarts that Rowling's character Professor Remus John Lupin talks about in one of the Harry Potter movies.



Some dreams occur once only - and others recur again and again and again, very persistently, as if they demand that they be heeded to.

I for one attach great value to dreams. Dreams are one channel through which one keeps in touch with one's inner core. Don't be obsessed with them; but don't ignore them, either - is my advice to anyone interested in dream interpretation.

Did Marie Claire Lucid Dream Her Way From Naples Backstreets To Boulevard Saint Michel?

How Lucid Dreams Can Take You To The Stars In Reality World

Marie Claire was a poor child, an orphan, who used to roam the backstreets of Naples in Italy.



Along with her friends, she would beg for sustenance. Her rags covered her dignity barely. Her face would be haggard if she went without food the previous night; and would glow if somebody threw a morsel her way by mistake or with contempt.



When night came, and she would lie down under the naked stars, all her muscles aching from the continuous running around for food would give way. Sleep would be almost instantaneous.

And then she would enter her dreamworld. A world where she was the queen. With all the trappings of riches, prosperity, abundance and happiness around for hers to ask and enjoy. She would dream lucidly. While she knew that the reality world around her was a bit beyond her control, she could definitely create an imaginary universe where she could call the shots. And so she dreamed lucidly.

Her continuous focus on positive thoughts began yielding some amazing results. Soon, people began coming into her life - people who were kind to her, people who loved her, people who wanted the best in the world for her. She attracted into her world people who would lift her up from the streets of Naples, to the dizzying perches of the rich and the famous!



She went on to study at the Sorbonne.



She got herself a beautiful apartment at the Boulevard Saint-Michel in Paris. Diamonds and pearls would stud her dress and her makeup.



People began comparing her with the likes of Marlene Dietrich and Zizi Jeanmaire.



And dashing men of the day such as Sacha Distel and the Aga Khan became her friends.




She would spend her summer vacation at the Juan-les-Pins, and her winter would be spent at Saint Moritz.




Ah.

The power of lucid dreaming.

If you think you deserve this life yourself, and if you are still stuck in your own "backstreets of Naples", and want to attract the right conditions and the right kind of people in your life - then practicing lucid dreaming is one solution.




Here's the website where you can pick up a Lucid Dreaming Kit, if you care about yourself: http://www.short10.com/?c=bdream-lucid. Costs USD 59.95.
