Are Dreams Subconscious Messages?

Blog Post by TellMeMyDream.com

any neglect or underestimate their dreams and regard them as accidental releases of their subconscious, but dreams have a significant meaning. Your dreams are personal constructs of your higher self, and they can be interpreted by you. The more you realize how your dreams work, and the more willingly you look at them, the more you will decipher their secrets and decipher their hidden messages. Sometimes dreams are portals to truths that emerge deep in the subconscious. At other times, they carry messages of instructions or warnings in the form of terrible nightmares. Nightmares can cause hard-to-ignore areas of your various topics, so your dreams can connect with certain areas of your life or personality. For example, a home dream can make a connection to your state of mind or self-image. From a mystical, multidimensional perspective, human dreams of consciousness have better information. The unconscious dream bubble seems to contain an image of what one should be like, and acts as an expression of this image day and night. It knows all the things one does in the dark, as well as things in broad daylight, while the consciousness remains invisible, like a star playing in an empty house on a day when the sun shines. The truth is that understanding our own dreams requires a certain level of self-awareness. Just as we can google which house represents our identity, which waters or our emotions, the true revelation of what it means to us is how we feel in a dream and in our experience when we awaken from it. Dreams are a way for your subconscious mind to communicate with your conscious mind. In reality, things don't always go as planned, but your subconscious mind tries to play things out as you want them to be in your dreams. The therapist I mentioned did not interpret the dream with her symbolic understanding, but I am sure that it played into it. People can be symbols of themes or themes at a certain time, and the people we see in our dreams are not just who they are, they represent something in our lives. Some people have a clinical vision of dreams and see them as a form of processing, a mess or an amalgam of events of days or weeks. But dreams are personal, and many of us dream of similar things, leading dream interpreters to come up with explanations for the recurring images we see as we slumber. Dreams are a way of realizing hidden consciousness in the unconscious. There is so much we do not understand about our dreams that I believe that demisting the unconscious can help people understand their conscious self and uncover the emotional conflicts that are taking place below the surface. Emotions are amplified in dreams because people are driven to an uninhibited state of mind. To paraphrase Robert Sautsky's "Wild Dreams," people act in dreams in ways that would be unthinkable in real life. While some share recurring dream elements, most of us have unique dreams that apply to what is happening in our own lives. Things that we fear will not be remembered appear in our dreams. As for visions and harbingers of what the future might bring, dreams are now seen as a window into the unconscious, a theory popularized by Sigmund Freud at the beginning of the twentieth century. Many popular theories about dreams suggest that our dreams are a reflection of the hopes and fears we experience in our waking lives, and dream interpreters continue to suggest that latent content of dreams may have symbolic meanings. Dreams, however, are much more than random images evoked by the buzzing brain, and the meanings we associate with them are imposed by the conscious mind, not created by the unconscious. Carl Jung took a more rigorous approach, explaining that dreams are a kind of shape-shifting energy of inchoate emotions and thoughts released from the deep subconscious and the rousing narratives in higher brain regions. Sigmund Freud believed that dreams were full of symbols which could be decoded to reveal the innermost workings of the mind. Freud also believed that the latent content of dreams was suppressed and hidden in the subconscious to protect a person's thoughts and feelings from being too difficult to manage. Freud saw dreams as an expression of suppressed conflicts and desires that surprised him because of his sexual nature. Sigmund Freud published his book The Interpretation of Dreams around the turn of the century, in which he argued that our dreams are more about the desires we seek to fulfil in our waking lives. Freud argued that a person in a dream has a wish that is expressed in symbolic form. Freud believed that by discovering the hidden meaning of dreams, people could understand their problems and solve problems that cause problems in their lives. To do justice to Freud, dreams seem to be about the fulfillment of wishes. The desires we seek to fulfill in our waking lives are innocent desires, and our dreams represent them as they really are. Such unacceptable desires are suppressed by the conscious awake mind and make dreams bizarrely unrecognizable. People seem to find meaning in their dreams because of their biases, Morewedge says. Many of the things they desire or desire are inappropriate or shocking to the mind and obscure or conceal the meaning that manifests in the content of the dream. But dreams that depict all kinds of results signal to the conscious mind that the dreamer is acting in the name of genuine longing.
