THE SIGNIFICATION OF DREAMS

Recently, I came to give my opinions on dreams to somebody who was relating anxiously one of hers to me.

For many people, the dreams have a special signification, one that they believe is often related to their future, to future events in their life. The signification of the dreams, for the psychoanalyst and other doctors, is, somewhat different..
   Dreaming is important, since dreams help preseve sleeping; dreams protect your sleep. Dreams help also to defuse tension that has built in your body for many reasons - physical and emotional. Many people dream more when they are tired, for example, or when they have had some strong emotions or feelings.
    Dreaming helps also to relieve your apprehension. Often, during the dream, your apprehensions came, seemingly, to concretize and that defuse tension in your body. However, strong emotions might make irruption in your mind during a dream and might interrupt your sleep and spoil your day..

Why do people believe in a predictive nature of dreams? A dream, in itself, has no predictive value. However, because, the dreams may traduce your apprehensions that have been built on lived situations, some future events related to these situations may come to happen and that is what give the false impression that a dream is predictive. It might necessary for a physician to help relieve the apprehensions of a patient after a dream by explaining to him some mechanisms of dreams and their rationale.

During the day, when you are fully conscious, your conscience maintains strong barriers between itself and your subconscious and the feelings it shelters, and you never come to fully experience the later. During the sleep, some of these barriers are relieved, but not totally, allowing your feelings to come to your mind in a disguised manner - the dream.
