| Prompt: Dreams What do you think about dreams in general? And if you wish to elaborate, what recurring themes or symbols appear in your dreams? Are there any patterns you can identify? -------- Aren't dreams fascinating? I like them a lot because they often present us vivid images, emotions, and complex, sometimes senseless, narratives. Some dream analysts insist that falling, flying, being chased, or losing teeth, etc., are symbolic. I used to recall my dreams a lot. It was so that I would recall six dreams a night with all their details. This was so tiring, though! Luckily or unluckily, during the recent few years, I recall no dreams at all, unless I wake up at night and a snip from the dream still remains. I don't recall ever having dreamed that I was falling but I had many dreams and some losing teeth. I also recall that I was dreaming about family members, friends, and strange places a lot. It is difficult to write about any patterns in my dreams because I don't recall dreams anymore, and whichever patterns arose in the older dreams they usually were there for a while and then another pattern took their place. I'm guessing, during sleep, the brain puts together memories and emotions and mixes them up, and the recurring dreams are the ways that show the brain's attempt to process intense or meaningful experiences. According to Jung, some dreams use symbolic archetypal images to bring up what's in our unconscious to our consciousness. It may just be that repeated dreams and dream patterns point to some trauma or stress in the dreamer's real life. One way to figure out what a dream is trying to tell us is to pinpoint the feelings it evokes. These feelings and emotions can provide clues to the dream's message. This is because dreaming let's us peek into our inner selves and helps us confront unresolved issues and feelings. This may lead to better self-awareness and healing. Unfortunately, for me, as I said above, I don't recall my dreams, anymore. |
