this makes no sense. i dont dream about what happened each day. my dreams can be about something I've never even thought of or done. They can be about people from my past. I can encounter "people" or celebrities ive never met in real life. they can be a mashup of things I know, reoccurring dreams and ive had somewhat prophetic dreams. dreams are so much more than this so I wouldnt be so quick to dismiss something you truly dont understand.
That idea that dreams are a way of processing information, and at the same time are meaningless, is contradictory.
It may not give any insight into what some mysterious "unconscious" is "thinking", but it does tell you what that person would think to be valuable. If the information is being processed, then it can certainly say something about a person.
Knowing that I generally choose coke over pepsi doesn't mean that I'm necessarily a pyscopath or abused, but it does mean that I like coke.
I had a dream where i was a crimefighting cat man ,Half cat half man, that escaped from a burning building in which criminals were holding a hostage in. What was that about dreams being a recorder of what happened?(True story btw, seriously)
'slow wave sleep' is a certain phase of sleep when your brain does its work solidifying memories from your previous waking hours... dreams happen during R.E.M sleep, im not sure if those two phases overlap though.... if so, your theory is very likely to be correct.
@SapporoMagokoro Through the rather Freudian theory, I would say that in your psyche your, possibly, sexually oppressed. I think those are the right terms. But that's just this madman's thought.
I have stacks of journals and books on my dreams from a very young age to now as an Adult. As I wrote them down all my life they would be about 4-9 pages long. The reason I have kept record of my dreams is not because of dream interpertation but because they are so long and vivid and hard to ignore. I don't know if dreams mean anything but I think it has given me exceptional long term memory. :)
It has always been my belief that dreams are simply made up of either things you heard or saw during the day, or week for that matter. Things you've been thinking about or are concerned about, stuff that's been on your mind lately and stuff you've both saw and heard, weather on the television or internet, or even something you've read. I think all those things combined together in a dream are what causes the strange dreams you have. If you think back hard enough you can figure out your dreams.
An you will find that there is nothing special or divine about dreams at all. Though your mind is actually very active when you are dreaming. People try too hard to read into their dreams hoping that their dreams are psychic or have some kind of special meaning to it. Fact is they don't and that's why you shouldn't waste too much time thinking about a dream you had, weather it was a strange dream or a scary one etc. I have never had a dream where I couldn't put all the pieces together.
Yes dreams do play a role in sorting memories and the such, but this obviously isn't all there is to it. As a top commentor put it, flying hippos probably isn't related to his memories of the day. It makes sense to say that in addition to memories, your brain is also processing emotions. If you're very close to yourself and express yourself vehemently, then sure, don't bother interpreting your dreams. But I believe if you suppress your emotions, you can find them again through your dreams.
The PURPOSE is pschological and yes, there is a need to anyalise it. Nothing about the dream should be thrown away. The word psychologist should be taken from this woman's title.
The fact is your dreams are vibrational like we all are, we attract to us the very dreams we have just as we do everything else (little know fact) dreams can be used to help us understand where we are vibrationally and where the majority of our thoughts are at times, more so of a measuring stick for vibration, if out vibration the previous day was lower we have dreams that reflect that, higher same thing.
I and many others use this as a scale successful continuously.
dreams are ur brain working when your not. and mostly it's nonseance. but if u can learn to use the to solve problems uk realy think out side the box. or mybe its ur way to sky dive. so yea don't interpret me thats a waste of time but try and make ur body use it to think or dream. but it is a tool for u to use.
@cresong97531 eheh...nothing is nonsense, even the slightist detail can change your life in a dream or a vision, just like in other visual perceptive events |;)
i think dreams are a nocturnal guide or simulator because it SOMETIMES plays stuff that you are worryed about or stuff that you have recently been "saving" in your memory area of your brain. dreams could also be a human sense of mental communication to some form of life. we may be able too do it awake but i dont think we are YET intelligent to manipulate that. somtimes i wonder if we could in are "natural" state. babys could probably do it!
I do agree too that dreams are just of remembering and processing events or thoughts past on a period of time, I do not agree however in the the process of the brain that trows away information, and also I do not agree on only see it in one conception, but let me make you an example and sorry if my english is not the best but is not my first language.
It might that I will have to use 2 or more comments to explain that.
Ok so as all knows we all had dreams about anything we can
@thecandymanofficial possibly think of, and as most psychologist and scientist knows there is techniques used for "dreaming" or regress into the unconscious (know you will say you are changing direction, no I am not just read and you will understand).
And also as most scientist knows we are just discovering that there is a very precise and complex process of chemical compounds rushing into our brain and body, but those compounds are also contained in other forms of life (animated and inanimated
@thecandymanofficial ) in other terms it's a well know induced reaction that we have EVERY SINGLE TIME WE SLEEP, even if you don't know you always dream, but sometimes you don't remember.Ok now let's try to analyze some of the most commons dreams and also virtually compare the situations of it.
The classical FALLING OFF OF SOMETHING dream (such as buildings, cliffs, ect...) what is that suppose to mean you'll? well depends on your day, can be an alert sign of a bad mistake done at your job or
@thecandymanofficial done by saying something that you didn't want to say to a person that you care, or it might also be in some case just a temporary drop of blood pressure or rush of blood pressure do to external factors or internal factors (usually it happens, and you wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning when you are half asleep and you wanna wake up but you fall asleep again).But see the real matter is that people don't really pay attention to there dreams other wise they
@thecandymanofficial the real answers. Practical example: A friend of mine had a very intense dream, and he dreamed that his house was splitting apart and and during it his friend offered him an to drink alcohol with him and get drunk, he accepts and he gets drunk after they get out of the split in half house and they he starts to drive (also take in consideration that he reported that he felt extremely drunk and he was feeling the sensation of it in the dream!!! how the mind can simulate)
@thecandymanofficial he said that he remember to drive quite a while but to feel very very worried about his friend and also after wake up feeling really depressed.
So he was really shocked about this dream so he ask a qualified physician to hypnotize him and ask him if he can make the dream re appear but with a certain questions and get more details out of it, LONG STORY SHORT TO END, we extrapolated from the recording that he miss a huge but of VERY VERY significant details that appeard
@thecandymanofficial as the right answer, such as was there anything different into the configuration of your fridge, and there it starts the answer yes there was, what there was a calendar, what that calender was saying and he answered a date, also the house was split in half only for the first half of the dream before drinking and then if he was having a 360 view one half was split in half one half in two halfs, than also in the car there was unusual things such as a gun at the feet of the
@thecandymanofficial friend (had huge problems with gun in the past very scared about them), then after the psychoanalyst try to analyze that with him, but don't wanna write more I already wrote a ton, the dear friend of mine had the situation with the exact same person he associated in the dream, and changed the situation by not drinking and go home, the friend after a day we hear that he had a car accident due to drunk driving, that same night, so I guess the analysis for that would be:
@thecandymanofficial 1 house split apart half way(childhood memory change of life, lifestyle or big habit and that happened before visiting the friend) 2 house split house split in half in a part and twice split in the other, ( choose of path on a life changing or like is saying before big habit ect as froid say our subconscious works our path to destiny we build it, That's why also sub messages in the media |;) don't wanna keep you up on this one lol) 3 calendar on the fridge
@thecandymanofficial (revocation of a specific date in time that might have caused a trauma or anything shocking) 4 and then the most even precise notification and sign of alert the gun,(really bad remembrances) plus there is a lot more details to add to the dream, but I wanna arrive to the point Shelby. Dreams are not to waste anything in it is to waste, dreams are something that are very very subjective and the person or the therapist that analyzes it mus have a very very huge knowledge of the
@thecandymanofficial of the person making it. So yeah it's way easier to say trow away what you don't need or just don't care about it, but if you don't you become just a sheep to manage as easy as anybody else, as Latins always used to say MENS SANA IN CORPORAE SANO (maybe the declination is not right), healthy mind in a healthy body. I am not therapist or anybody qualified to say that but you can see it for your self, that whether dreams are premonitory, remembrances, perfections of daily
@thecandymanofficial mistakes, they are always one the most usefull resouces of the body to understand reality and prevent or incourage certain realitys to come throw, AND THE DAY YOU WILL STOP DREAMING BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE OR IS JUST NOT IMPORTANT, YOU WILL 100% BE MIND CONTROLLED AND VERY VULNERABLE TO MIND DISTORTION AND CONTROL.
Hope you got the message |;) that I wanted to say and hope to see response from Shelby,
"in somnis veritas" in dreams is the truth. they have the biggest ego, thats why its own ego is triyng not to analize their own dreams, its defending itself. :D
Dreams tell me things ONLY sometimes. Sometimes they play hypothetical situations that underline how I feel about someone, or a situation I fear could happen.
But most of the time it's awesome inane bullcrap. FINGER BEAMS!!
@Rubenozorio Because we probably don't think in concrete terms most of the time. Random-seeming symbols often take the place of things we're focused on consciously. I've found that for me it's useful to think about the things in my dreams and ask what emotions or associations they illicit and then it usually becomes clear what I was really thinking about. For example, flying hippos are absurd and amusing, so what happened recently that I thought was absurd or evoked an amusing image?
i dont know if anyone does this too but i actually use my dreams as my tool for entertainment. during my waking moments, i train myself to familiar object to make myself aware of the dream state. this allows me to subconsciously control my dream to become a lucid dream. it takes weeks or if not months to prepare but the reward is something unexpected lol
@tkoizumi Yes, there are actually many of us who are able to do that. I think most people probably can if they have the dedication. It does take some doing, but I have become pretty adept.
i think people that dismiss the subconscious are actually just afraid of what they might encounter, and having to realize that they aren't the lucid and coherent, objective decision makers they think they are. The most subjective, deep reality that goes on in our minds when free of the restrains of physics is more a fairy tale than anything else. but that is how our minds work, that is what we are deep down.
I don't trust anyone who hesitates when they speak.
Also-- I don't dislike a video very often. But who the hell is this woman? THis is her profession?? You'd think she'd know about lucid dreaming.. and how epic they can be.
My sister has an interesting theory about dreams. She thinks that dreams are like a pressure release valve for the mind. We cannot do this when we are fully conscious, so it usually occurs during sleep.
Dreams are result of your daily functioning !!! If you werer afrai during the day of something, or worried, you can dream it, but even in a worser scenario.....We have feelings, we dream lots of things; it's connected to your feelings during the day. That's it....pardon my spelling, i am not english
this video doesn't actually inform me of anything. These are just thoughts based on personal experience... and non controlled studies. in fact, before we can figure out what dreams are we need to know more about the brain. do controlled experiments and the like.
@audiomaniac02 Well said; i read lots of psychology and psychiatry; and i can say, that dreams are connected to your feelings ( wishes, desires, fears etc... ).. that's it
I had a dream in which I was a sky-jellyfish in a land of roller-coasters, flat buildings, and colorful light-filled-snow. It felt amazing to move by pushing the air around me. I had a son that was an umbrella, a daughter that was a cactus made of gummy apple-rings candy, and a wife jellyfish whom I loved very much.
At one point in the dream, I acquired a large stack of paper that I had the urge to stash somewhere, and put it in the joists in my uncle's basement.
I had a dream about pooping. I had trouble finding a place to poop where people wouldn't see me, and then when I found one I was constipated. I finally went, but then I had to go again seconds after. What does it mean?! It must be the poop god sending me a divine message.
@RogerWazup007 you were constipated in your dream because your body didn't want you to shit your pants while asleep. same thing happens if you have to piss in your dream then wake up having to go for a leak.
@mrnoodleisdead Good point, although sometimes I dream about having to go to the bathroom without actually having to go in real life, or at least not for a while.
I've heard this idea before about sorting through the days memories for what's important to hold onto, and as much as that makes sense, it just doesn't seem to map to the content of my dreams. I don't dream about the day I've just had, I dream about hanging off cliffs, and being chased by crocodiles, and escaping from a witch's house etc.
Nice explanation. My own theory regarding dreams falls into the processing camp, but after watching your explanation, the idea of processing the days' thoughts and experiences not only to develop associations and derive new insights, but also to then reevaluate memory import post processing to further economize storage makes elegant sense.
I once dreamed of my cat waving her tail about. When I woke up I was staring at a dinosaur poster I had on the oppostite wall and the neck of the dinosaur reminded me of my cat's tail. The dream was caused by me blinking open my eyes and not being aware of what it was I was seeing.
To think when we dream though its at a state of deep rem sleep where your brains most active? Maybe we dream is just a side effect of our brain just going into this deep rem sleep. And though evolution it just stuck because it kept us asleep for that much longer?
The recurring dream I've had for over 20 years is of me dying on what feels like the steppes of Asia. There's an object going through my body, and I'm falling to the ground. The feeling it gives me is that someone betrayed the shit out of me, and that I knew who they were. Oddly enough, I've been snaked by a couple of close friends over my lifetime. Over women and other trivial bullshit.
I've had dreams that resemble the day that just past, associating few things, and images and expressions and people and their actions. but I've also had dreams about sequences and events that are to happen the next day. i've also had a dream about environmental influences that are to eventuate a week in advance, things like an earthquake or a famous person dying. consciousness is non local so therefore events are not stored, they are re created on a quantum level created with extreme accuracy.
I've had some weird dreams from bears all in my back yard, to t-rexes coming out of a square lava pool at school, to girls who seemed normal at an all girl school, but were zombie like for some reason to screaming and not being heard and light switches that didn't turn on lights. Maybe there's relevance or meaning or maybe ya it's just the brain processing stuff. What I really want to know is where dreams are processed, why there, why data is going there and where is it being stored when I wake?
@Wade2st And all the dreams I mentioned there were not explained in full since it would take pages to elaborate. Last night was pretty awesome with some sort of machine with this goop on top that you'd lay on in a pan and would turn you into a werewolf. Really awesome. I was just watching Being Human (US) right before that last night, but the only image of a werewolf was in a brief image at the start mentioning stuff from last episode.
Dream's are caused by a chemical production similar to those found in hallucinogens, not your brain trying to figure out what it can store, its been scientifically proven that every person you see in your dream has been someone you've seen maybe years ago, who has no connection or relevance, could be someone who has sat on a bench at the park when you were 5, why would your brain store that information and use it in a dream, dreams are a form over hyper-imagination unique to ones perception
@Insidethe9reviews Well shit I used to have this dream about this girl alot when I was little. And I fell in love with her. And then I never got to see her. I've always wondered who that was,, I feel like I sound crazy. Lol
@Insidethe9reviews i like your idea better then the lady in this video i dont think her idea of what dreams are is accurate i also believe dreams can hold meanings despite what she said
The only problem with this is the last thing... Your brain processing images/thoughts that it needs to keep and throw away... What happens when you dream of something you never saw before or places you never been?
she´s kinda right i think, but the WISH element of the dreams is undeniable.... even if they´re just a sucession of files. wishes that i couldn´t, or cannot, make true always appear in my dreams somehow
of course dreams have meaning, it all depends on your level of thinking
it's not hard to make a connection between what you dream and the real world
but we have very little understanding of how our subconscious mind even creates an entire world, where you create every color, every movement, and the thoughts and words of every person is in your dreamstate, to say this is the most ignorent thing ever
''This video is a sure sign that man has descended very far into an abyss of materialism and ignorance.''
Reactions:
''Enlighten us.''
''yes please do enlighten us.''
Guys, you can only enlighten yourself. It is obtaining the absolute instead of dwelling in endless relatives. You cannot obtain that absolute outside of yourself because that makes it relative by default. The absolute is ''objective'' but when expressed is "subjective'' by default.
@darkdragonsoul99 Nothing. I'm sorry to rain on the parade, but it means fuck all xD It just means that you don't get enough REM sleep probably, that you're not a deep sleeper.
The most a dream can tell you is foggy emotions from the day. Like I have a reoccurring dream of falling because I'm under a lot of stress. I wouldn't put too much stock by this bit of science. Much is uncertain and even my opinion is subject to change on this matter...ask me about depression lol
The realm of Jungian archetypes is very real, any experienced psychonaut can attest to this. The are there for you to see what you need to work on, and also to show what the source of your motives are. Any Shaman who works with these things can tell you that the more healing you do on yourself, the deeper into the realm of the spirit one can go. Most people don't even have an inkling of these dimensions and are sleeping ....without dreaming.
@mcnowski Yes, I'm sure people who call themselves "psychonauts" and "shamans" are experts on the functionality of the brain during sleep. I bet they tend to be really intelligent.
@isakoqv I would advise trying some LSD, mushrooms, or DMT if you want to actually learn something about the world. You can steep yourself in rationalism, but what's the point in living if you restrict your experiences to the empirical?
@isakoqv You can laugh sure, but spend anytime in that realm and you will be shown the root of your prejudice, how a simple word like Shaman can cause conflict in your own psyche, how the walls are erected that cause the separations and the prejudices. It is fascinating and edifying. The foundation of the Mind is Unity. Anything that causes prejudice in your own mind, or stand off-ish attitude is there to show one what they need to work on. One can guide but not define.
When I have a bad day and dream about something bad it's probably a reflection of myself and how I feel. Where dreams can come in handy is when you have repressed certain feelings and you can access them through dream interpretation, and by this I mean just look at how you react to certain things in your dream and see if it is, to a degree, a reflection of you during your waking life. This kind of self realization is what I look to my dreams for.

I recall many of my dreams (and some are even lucid), there are many dreams that reflect actual events and my disposition toward them. I had an intense argument with my sister 2 weeks ago, and I've had 3 dreams within that time period involving my sister and my dad, who was also involved. I also had a falling out with a friend, and since then I've had dreams where I've approached him on the matter. I've also have dreams where I fight demons, ghosts, and zombies and fly off cliffs tho...meh...
This lady looks to deep into things... dreams are absolutely pointless... you can make a point out of them or you can just expierience them or have FUN with them. Try melatonin then wormwood tinctures or dream herbs, move on to lucid dreaming techniques... Do something to open up that world... Explore your mind... you'll start having dreams that are recallable, then controlable and then just awsome. Many people are missing out... not asking you to drop acid or anything.
I actually it quite funny at times how my dreams will incorporate things from my day as elements in the dreams I experiance that night. A few times this process will provide new insights for me, but mostly they are irrational and kinda strange. Notice that on the insights I said new, not valid necessarily. I do recall a few times that my dreams were so pleasant, that upon awakening, I felt a sense of loss. I never have dreams with monsters or any serious danger to myself; is that normal?
Our minds are always full of a bunch of crazy shit while we're awake, and they continue it while we sleep. I dream of things happening that I wish would happen, and I dream of things happening that I'm afraid will happen, just like I think about these things while I'm awake. There's less resistance when I'm sleeping, so thoughts I don't follow through with during the day take a vivid form at night.
I've thought up of really nice story yesterday and last night I saw it as a dream , though it was a bit different that what I came up with during the day , the plot was so much deeper in my dream.....
i see dreams like the X-men's danger room. You train for things that might happen (according to your unconscious idea of "might happen") so that if something similar happens, you have an "experience" to rely upon. And what the scenario can be a probable futur based on the experiences of the day + some extrapolations or complete random event. Like when i don't study hard and dream of getting an exam that is incomprehensible. Practice for when it might happen tomorrow in this case.
Yo this lady is so lost on what being a human being is. I'm not even gonna attempt to explain dreams in a rational way but anybody knows this lady is talking pure grade A shit..
What about the times i've dreamt of my mother and it turns out it isn't my mother...and then fire starts raining and the ground opens as i watch people die and then the corpse of my mother animates while it's sking turns to burning coal and then when i ask "Who are you?" the thing responds: "You know my name all right" Dreams are NOT what happens during your day being remembered. I also had nice dreams in wich i can manipulate what happens and create worlds at my pleasure.
@thehornypuppy Dreams are many times based on what happened during the day. But they have other things ideas in them and they relate ideas in such a random way that it all gets an effing mess.
@phinny5608 Not necessarily, and I take issue with the title of this video "Don't Bother...". There are many people in the world whom are raised to hide their problems, keep it to themselves and not trouble everyone else around them with it. This kind of repression can lead to a great deal of confusion in a person's life. Paying attention to the symbolism of their own dreams can be a way for that person to understand what they have decided to block or forget as unimportant and why.
@AlucardsQuest True, I didn't mean to sound like I was dismissing that. The thoughts, however little they make sense, obviously come from the same brain that deals with everything else throughout the day. I just don't think there's a "purpose" in dreams. Any purpose they serve I'd say is incidental, though perhaps useful at times.
@phinny5608 i like this explanation but i kinda have a problem with it.if it is, what evolutionary purpose does it serve to have dreams? why go to all of the bother of even dreaming? i think the one i agree with the most is it probably does serve some kind of purpose for psychology, but we dont really know yet.
@phinny5608 haha, quite the paradox huh! But good point. Though thinking gives us also an ability to 'step outside' ourselves, and sometimes rational thinking isnt a bad thing in these situations. In brief, I can 'think' back to times where my dreams have had direct correlations to events that happen after the dream took place, predictions if you will. That in itself shows that it is not the event of a week or day scrambling around in your head.
@RealityGrapple It's metaphysical, it dwells on the skirts of science and conventional reality. I really can't understand how someone can't see or believe that there's something more than just the biological functions of dreams and sleep. I also can't say I disagree with anything you wrote, it's tough to find someone who really "gets" it, but when you reach that point, a whole new world is opened to you. It's sad how closed-minded some people can be :-(
@RealityGrapple Science only works when scientific laws and principles apply. Dreams appear to fall outside of that realm. As with vision, you cannot look into a persons head and see what they see, only their brain reacting to what they see. The mind is a marvelous thing, isn't it?
Maybe one of the functions for dreams is as the playground of the mind. It's a way for it to relax and let creativity flow. Kind of like how we take a vacation and get a change of scenery. Dreams are very mysterious and fascinating, it's a shame that some people just write them off as this person in the video has, they really miss out on the majesty of it all.
if the brain throws them, not so important thoughts, away then there must be a place to throw it away to. if the place is a place is space and time then what is it and where is it?
I dont agree with this lady...ive personally have had dreams about future events or people i was going to meet only to meet them later and for watever i dreamed about to happen...
@dambobjob That's one theory, yes. Her opinion is just one interpretation of what dreams are for, but there is nothing definitive. Of course, this all depends on who you ask :-P
@dambobjob Why I disagree with some of the videos, I like them because they make me think about the subject and it's usually interesting to hear other opinions. The problem is that it can actually make some people MORE ignorant of the topic, because it almost fosters a closed-minded viewpoint if you're not already educated in it.
Dreams also predict the future... unfortunetlly not always, if you sleep long for like 8 hours, the part that you forget most, is the part that always predicts the future.
It's amazing that dreams have like a continuity to them, it's like a story that the brain invents. Also it's weird that the brain can make appear in your dreams people in front of you and make them talk. It's capable of thinking for the people it invents, isn't that amazing?
@Battery9876 it is amazing, but one thing you have to consider is the fact that memory is associative. Once you recognize the face, voice of someone, the brain can then easily pull from memory all the other associative things about that person.
Dreams to me is like having your brain reorganizing the files you spilled thinking your entire life, hence the random images, and when it comes to certain points, your brain thinks about doing something else with those certain files, hence why you see stuff that doesn't exist in the physical world in your dream, so its like your brain is switching constantly between the logical and creative part... at least that's what I think.
I've had dreams with where I have fought godzilla and it turned out to be like a russian doll with a black woman inside and then I had sex with her, and another dream I've had was about how I was like a top matrix agent and had to fight a rival (in ability) demonlord who was actually my lover. Clearly I am processing information that I have experienced in my day. Not to mention I've had numerous dreams that have ended on moral points.
her last point took us back to Jung again and the idea of collective unconcious memory, the cultural memory.,recurring themes in the psyche and so on. it goes with evolution because what is stored is deemed necessary, a tendency to retain the stuff that's most handy to us.
Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
I think there's a bit of both in it.
When I wake up I do feel my head clearer and more organized
I also feel psychologically better sometimes after having a good dream

I think all those things combined together in a dream are what causes the strange dreams you have. If you think back hard enough you can figure out your dreams.

An you will find that there is nothing special or divine about dreams at all. Though your mind is actually very active when you are dreaming. People try too hard to read into their dreams hoping that their dreams are psychic or have some kind of special meaning to it. Fact is they don't and that's why you shouldn't waste too much time thinking about a dream you had, weather it was a strange dream or a scary one etc. I have never had a dream where I couldn't put all the pieces together.
IlluminatReptilian 5 days ago
Yes dreams do play a role in sorting memories and the such, but this obviously isn't all there is to it. As a top commentor put it, flying hippos probably isn't related to his memories of the day. It makes sense to say that in addition to memories, your brain is also processing emotions. If you're very close to yourself and express yourself vehemently, then sure, don't bother interpreting your dreams. But I believe if you suppress your emotions, you can find them again through your dreams.

I see a lotof people claim that dreams are the result of DMT being released in our brains.
But I have never really seen any confirmation of this.
I've only read about in in Rick Strassmans "DMT, the spirit molecule" as a theory of his.
A very interesting one for sure, but definitely not scientifically proved fact. Still many people present it like a scientific fact.
I also think dreams are there for a reason. Everything is!

The fact is your dreams are vibrational like we all are, we attract to us the very dreams we have just as we do everything else (little know fact) dreams can be used to help us understand where we are vibrationally and where the majority of our thoughts are at times, more so of a measuring stick for vibration, if out vibration the previous day was lower we have dreams that reflect that, higher same thing.
I and many others use this as a scale successful continuously.

@Rubenozorio Because we probably don't think in concrete terms most of the time. Random-seeming symbols often take the place of things we're focused on consciously. I've found that for me it's useful to think about the things in my dreams and ask what emotions or associations they illicit and then it usually becomes clear what I was really thinking about. For example, flying hippos are absurd and amusing, so what happened recently that I thought was absurd or evoked an amusing image?

Where dreams can come in handy is when you have repressed certain feelings and you can access them through dream interpretation, and by this I mean just look at how you react to certain things in your dream and see if it is, to a degree, a reflection of you during your waking life.

i see dreams like the X-men's danger room. You train for things that might happen (according to your unconscious idea of "might happen") so that if something similar happens, you have an "experience" to rely upon. And what the scenario can be a probable futur based on the experiences of the day + some extrapolations or complete random event. Like when i don't study hard and dream of getting an exam that is incomprehensible. Practice for when it might happen tomorrow in this case.

This kind of repression can lead to a great deal of confusion in a person's life. Paying attention to the symbolism of their own dreams can be a way for that person to understand what they have decided to block or forget as unimportant and why.

@AlucardsQuest True, I didn't mean to sound like I was dismissing that. The thoughts, however little they make sense, obviously come from the same brain that deals with everything else throughout the day. I just don't think there's a "purpose" in dreams. Any purpose they serve I'd say is incidental, though perhaps useful at times.

@phinny5608 i like this explanation but i kinda have a problem with it.if it is, what evolutionary purpose does it serve to have dreams? why go to all of the bother of even dreaming? i think the one i agree with the most is it probably does serve some kind of purpose for psychology, but we dont really know yet.

My parents are divorced.
I live with my mother now. I haven't seen my father for more than a year now because we got into a fight.
Why am I dreaming my father every night since than? Because of a raw stream of irrational thoughts? I doubt it...

@phinny5608 Hardly, I agree that is the case but there is so much more to it than 'rational' thinking about it will reveal.

@1BassJohn If there's more to it than rational thinking will reveal, how do you know this except by rational thinking?
phinny5608 2 weeks ago
@phinny5608 haha, quite the paradox huh! But good point. Though thinking gives us also an ability to 'step outside' ourselves, and sometimes rational thinking isnt a bad thing in these situations. In brief, I can 'think' back to times where my dreams have had direct correlations to events that happen after the dream took place, predictions if you will. That in itself shows that it is not the event of a week or day scrambling around in your head.

@RealityGrapple It's metaphysical, it dwells on the skirts of science and conventional reality. I really can't understand how someone can't see or believe that there's something more than just the biological functions of dreams and sleep. I also can't say I disagree with anything you wrote, it's tough to find someone who really "gets" it, but when you reach that point, a whole new world is opened to you. It's sad how closed-minded some people can be :-(

@RealityGrapple Science only works when scientific laws and principles apply. Dreams appear to fall outside of that realm. As with vision, you cannot look into a persons head and see what they see, only their brain reacting to what they see. The mind is a marvelous thing, isn't it?

Maybe one of the functions for dreams is as the playground of the mind. It's a way for it to relax and let creativity flow. Kind of like how we take a vacation and get a change of scenery. Dreams are very mysterious and fascinating, it's a shame that some people just write them off as this person in the video has, they really miss out on the majesty of it all.

if the brain throws them, not so important thoughts, away then there must be a place to throw it away to. if the place is a place is space and time then what is it and where is it?

@dambobjob That's one theory, yes. Her opinion is just one interpretation of what dreams are for, but there is nothing definitive. Of course, this all depends on who you ask :-P
PhilWithCoffee 1 month ago
@PhilWithCoffee Yeah, I have found a lot of these 'big think' videos are non-definitive, mostly just very confidently expressed opinions.
dambobjob 1 month ago
@dambobjob Why I disagree with some of the videos, I like them because they make me think about the subject and it's usually interesting to hear other opinions. The problem is that it can actually make some people MORE ignorant of the topic, because it almost fosters a closed-minded viewpoint if you're not already educated in it.

Dreams also predict the future... unfortunetlly not always, if you sleep long for like 8 hours, the part that you forget most, is the part that always predicts the future.
At least for me...

It's amazing that dreams have like a continuity to them, it's like a story that the brain invents. Also it's weird that the brain can make appear in your dreams people in front of you and make them talk. It's capable of thinking for the people it invents, isn't that amazing?
Battery9876 1 month ago
@Battery9876 it is amazing, but one thing you have to consider is the fact that memory is associative. Once you recognize the face, voice of someone, the brain can then easily pull from memory all the other associative things about that person.

Dreams to me is like having your brain reorganizing the files you spilled thinking your entire life, hence the random images, and when it comes to certain points, your brain thinks about doing something else with those certain files, hence why you see stuff that doesn't exist in the physical world in your dream, so its like your brain is switching constantly between the logical and creative part... at least that's what I think.

I've had dreams with where I have fought godzilla and it turned out to be like a russian doll with a black woman inside and then I had sex with her, and another dream I've had was about how I was like a top matrix agent and had to fight a rival (in ability) demonlord who was actually my lover. Clearly I am processing information that I have experienced in my day. Not to mention I've had numerous dreams that have ended on moral points.

her last point took us back to Jung again and the idea of collective unconcious memory, the cultural memory.,recurring themes in the psyche and so on. it goes with evolution because what is stored is deemed necessary, a tendency to retain the stuff that's most handy to us.

Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
