Dreams vs. Nightmares; What are they?

Question

Are dreams left over thoughts from our previous day, and why

do we sometimes have pleasant dreams and other days have

horrible ones. I find it odd i can remember all my dreams with

specific detail, but in reality i have a Horrible memory.

Answer 1

I feel like our dreams are our sub-conscious mind trying to work things out.

Like if you had a good day and you like to remember it, you could store it in your mind, and your mind will re-open it to remember that lovely day.

On the other hand, nightmares could be something bad that happened that you haven't worked out yet.

Answer 2

Nice try toni

Answer 3

hey me too

uhm

i think dreams

are like

stuff we fear most

or stuff we really want to happen

bc my nightmares are things i fear most

which would prolly never happen in life

btu since i fear them most

i have to experience them somehow

and the stuff i want to happen

that wont happen

i experience in some way

and thats through dreams

some ppl believe in the astral plane

its like a parallel universe of some sort

it sounds like a really neat idea, because i used to have very vivid, like-reality dreams

but i think dreams are different for everyone..so no one can really know for sure what they mean and stuff

its all quite lame :[

Answer 4

Dreams is a reflection of our mind in reality. Although you might have bad dreams, it might have different meaning that you're trying to tell yourself. For instance, if you dream of being chase by something, it means that in reality you are trying to escape from a problem you are facing. Nightmares happens when you are under stressed, and pleasant dreams reflects your relaxed mind. In science, there are no solid explanation to dreams. In another word, dreams are optical illusions due to REM, movement of the eye balls and lights that enter our eyes when we blink during sleep.
