I dream about the stress I'm having in my life. It kinda releases it

I believe some dreams are dreams and some dreams God communicates through our dreams

Talk about it in therapy! I have weird dreams sometimes that carry over from my spouse's sleep shouting but I do believe loved ones no longer in this realm have given me reassurance in dreams. I wish I could have more of those and less of the nightmares.

I think dreams can be over psychoanalysed though, too. Sometimes a dream is just a dream of a working brain making connections.

Something to explore with a therapist for sure!

I think that they can be symbolic and related to our psyche... However there are also meds that can cause dreaming or nightmares so for me it would be hard to tell what's what since I believe meds effect my dreams... Let us know what your therapist says will you Rubes!....xo

Back in the 1970s I was involved in a half-day group program and one area they concentrated on was dreams. We were supposed to wake up when we had a dream and write it out in a journal. Of course I thought that was stupid, then I read about dream research that concluded that dreams are caused by totally random brain activity and I've held on to that ever since.

I think dreams are just the brains way of trying to figure out problems that you are having in real life. I have a friend who says they mean nothing. However, I think after certain dreams..at least the ones you kinda remember after waking..they could give you a kernel of thought as to what type of person you are, or just how you think.. i.e. are you compassionate, helpful, selfish etc.. dunno

Oh, about my dreams. I always dream in color. They are mostly visual. Sounds may be there. No sense of smell. I usually dream about strangers. Made up people, if I have anyone else or am interacting with anyone in my dream. Lots of my dreams end in frustration..or panic..hmm

I don't know much about dreams but sleep is important to getting rid of toxic material from our brains. Exercise and / or stimulating conversations leads to new growth of brain cells in the mid-brain. However, I did figure out one math problem in a dream one time. And the chemical structure of benzene was discovered by a dream of various snakes chasing each others' tails. So, I am inclined to think that the brain is always active in perceiving or restructuring what we know.

I love dreaming. Good or bad, calm or stressful, there's something chaotic about them i love. I've previously had an inclination towards recreational drugs, so i worry that the factor that enjoys that chaos is the same factor that drove the previous substance abuse.

I think there is certainly no harm is discussing your dreams, I personally believe we choose what we want to take out of them. I think symbolism in dreams can be something worth pondering on

I do believe in dreams however I wish I knew how to read them.
