What is a Dream?

Dream - noun - 1. a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.

But what really is a dream?

There are several different explanations for the existence of the night time shows our brains tune into at night. Many scientist have spent their whole careers researching dreams, the neural activity that happens, and the physical and mental effects dreams have on our bodies. With their know how, surely they know exactly what a dream is, and why we had them.

(But can they explain it in an easy way for us "average joes" to understand? No...)

So what messages to dreams send us? Are there even messages in dreams? Truthfully, I don't think there is anyway to really tell.

And why should you even care?

That last question I can't answer for you, but maybe you're interested in what kinds of dreams can make people want to have them interpreted.

Are you?

There hasn't been a dream that I can remember having that has ever been "normal". Let me tell you a few, then maybe you can tell me why you think I'd want to know what they mean.

Catt!
Your blog is really unique! I often have extremely vivid dreams. Lately, every dream I have I am crying in it. I've also had a couple of dreams recently that are about some of my loved ones dying like my dad and my boyfriend. I think the weirdest dream I have had lately though is the one I had with my best friends older brother in it. The strangest part of it was that he recently passed away and he was a ghost in my dream! Anyway, I often google a website that analyzes dreams and it really helps! Well good luck discovering more about dreams!

I like the layout of your blog. The color combination with the purple on the brown back on the sides to me gives it an old feeling to it.

As far as the dream itself, It not only leads me to if dreams can be interpretted but also whether they can be used to predict, possibly the future. I am curious as to whether you told this dream to anyone who could interpret it and what did they say?
