Dreams, according to Mr. Webster, are visions during sleep; fancy, reverie, a vision of something ideal. In Psychology, it is an outlet of desire, want, fantasy, wish, hope, sadness, fears, hostility, which are gathered in one's sub-conscious mind and later on revealed through dreams.
I remember a friend in high school who once told me that she had been dreaming about herself flying high with the birds in the sky and almost bumped her body against a mountain peak. This girl was, I should say, determined and really striving hard to achieve her goal. She was smart and warm, too. She was never idle at home, either doing household chores or doing her homework. Now, she is a registered nurse and working abroad.
There was another girl who told me about her dreams. I met her in College during one of our Founding Anniversaries. Literally, she was cheerful and carefree. She was the type who would go and watch a movie despite her thesis deadline. One time, she told me about her frequent dreaming of an intense fire and all she could do was to run away from it. Despite her persistence, the fire was running fast towards her. Soon after, she confessed that she was raped when she was about fourteen by her older brother's friend and that no matter how she tried to forget everything, the deeper it stayed in her memory.
One of my close friends in our neighborhood disclosed that whenever she dreamed about a snake, after a week or two, she would have a misunderstanding with someone close to her. When she dreamed that she was bit by a snake, she would have a problem which would become more difficult than she expected.
An officemate of mine once told me that she dreamed about this married man who happened to be another officemate. In her dreams, she was passionately having sex with him in a lake and admittedly, enjoyed the misty moment. Recently, she confided that she had been admiring him long before her dreaming manifestation.
What about you? What do you dream? Whatever it is, whether usual or weird, now you know what it means…
