Dreams..

Whats in a dream?

Is it just a random mixture of the things you have seen and done on that particular day or week? Is it vast memories coming together to create the most random mixture of events you could never of thought up whilst awake? Or is it something more?

My own personal opinion is that of simplicity. The brain needs rest, and while it rests it wanders and gives us dreams based upon what is happening in our lifes, and what may be topical in your mind on that particular night.

There are beliefs however that dreams can be so much more. Predictions of the future perhaps? Guidance on which path you should take in life? In this regard, certian dreams can mean particular things (for instance: running streams or falling of a cliff), symbolism plays a key role in dream interpretation. Maybe a bit far fetched in my own opinion but im open to the possibility of hidden meanings/truths.


Humans only use 10% of their brains. Are dreams just dreams or are they a chance for us to be able to access some of the other 90% of our brains we do not use when consious. The 90% we do not use may warrant physic abilities for instance, amongst many other things that we can only dream of.

Just a thought.
