Can someone explain dreams to me?

Question

can you determine when they are going to happen or what they will be about. how come i can only remember very small parts of my dreams? is there a way that i can have dreams? and is there a way that i can make a dream be about whatever i want?

Answer 1

Dreams are how your subconscious expresses itself.  If you spend all day at an amusement park, it is likely that you will dream about being on a roller coaster.  If you witnessed a horrible car accident earlier in the day, it is very likely that you will dream about being in a car.

The mind only "saves" dreams in a temporary "folder" sometimes these temporary "folders" are still present in the morning and are transferred to a longer term storage area.

Personal I think we always dream at night but we only remember bit of our dreams.

As far as creating dreams go, I have no real suggestion.  Its all up to your subconscious

Answer 2

sure i can bud,

tomorrow you will dream about puppies(which signify new begingings or pets)

they the puppies heads will spin like the exorcist(which signifies too much tv)

then you will laugh at they dead puppies and kick them(you are evil)

then you'll go to a bar and forget all bout it(if you dream of drinking you definately had too much before bed)

bet you can't wait till tomorrow

Answer 3

Complex subject - people wrote big thick books about this.  There's Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams" and several books which talk about the nature of dreams by Karl Jung.  

With dreams you may be looking at the movement of life itself - deep in the unconscious, life lives itself out.  And sometimes bits of that life reach our consciousness.  

One thing very probably true - you can't control it or direct it.  It directs you.
