Type Of Dreams; Share Your Dream Experience by msmon(m): 9:35am On Oct 24, 2014 |
Dream has been described as a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Dreams can be really weird a times while some dream can be life defining. I share my dream experience under the different categories of dreams have I have gathered below; 1. Daydreams Daydreaming is classified as a level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. Studies show that you have the tendency to daydream an average of 70-120 minutes a day. It occurs during waking hours when you let your imagination carry you away. As your mind begins to wander and your level of awareness decreases, you lose yourself in your imagined scenario and fantasy. *My Experience: I was sitting in a commercial bus traveling to Jos, after long wait inside, I dreamt that I have landed somewhere in UK. Imagining Nigeria become UK onof a sudden. 2. False Awakening Dreams Have you ever thought you have waken up and gone about your daily morning routine: getting up, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast and going to work, only to wake up "again" and realize that what just happened is just a dream. That sensation is referred to as a false awakening. *My Experience: While I was writing my final exam during my secondary school days, I dreamt I have completed the exam and started celebrating with my friend, only wake up and find out I'm still on the desk where I read overnight. 3. Lucid Dreams Lucid dreams occur when you realize you are dreaming. "Wait a second. This is only a dream!" Most dreamers wake themselves up once they realize that they are dreaming. Other dreamers have cultivated the skill to remain in the lucid state of dreaming. They become an active participant in their own dreams, making decisions in their dreams and influencing the dream's outcome without awakening. 4. Nightmares A nightmare is a disturbing dream that causes you to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post- traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because you have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have a family history of psychiatric problems, are involved in a rocky relationship or have had bad drug experiences. These people may have also contemplated suicide. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for the subconscious to wake up and take notice. 4. Recurring Dreams Recurring dreams repeat themselves with little variation in story or theme. These dreams may be positive, but most often they are nightmarish in content. Dreams may recur because a conflict depicted in the dream remains unresolved or ignored. Once you find a resolution to the problem, your recurring dreams will cease. Find out more about your recurring dreams. 5. Healing Dreams Healing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. The Ancient Greeks called these dreams "prodromic". Many dream experts believe that dreams can help in avoiding potential health problems and healing when you are ill or when you are grieving. Research shows that asthma and migraine sufferers have certain types of dreams before an attack. Your bodies are able to communicate to your mind through dreams. The dreams can "tell" you that something is not quite right with your bodies even before any physical symptoms show up. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he or she needs to go to the dentist or doctor. If you can understand the language of dreams, your dreams will serve as an invaluable early warning system. They can help inform, advise and heal. 6. Prophetic Dreams Prophetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive or psychic dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretell the future. One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that your dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that you may normally overlook or that you do not seriously consider. In other words, your unconscious mind knows what is coming before you consciously piece together the same information. 7. Signal Dreams Signal dreams help you how to solve problems or make decisions in your waking life. 8. Epic Dreams Epic dreams (also referred to as Great Dreams, Cosmic Dreams or Numinous Dreams) are so huge, so compelling, and so vivid that you cannot ignore them. The details of such dreams remain with you for years, as if you just dreamt it last night. These dreams possess much beauty and contain many archetypal symbology. When you wake up from such a dream, you feel that you have discovered something profound or amazing about yourself or about the world. It feels like a life-changing experience. Learn how to recognize an epic dream. 9. Progressive Dreams Progressive dreams occur when you have a sequence of dreams that continue over a period of nights. The dream continues where you left off the previous night. Such dreams are problem-solving dreams and help to explore different options and various approaches to a problem, situation or relationship. 10. Mutual Dreams Mutual dreams are described as such when two people have the same dream. Mutual dreams may be planned, meaning that two people actively work toward achieving one dream scenario or goal. It is a way to improve communication and build trust. Mutual dreams can also be spontaneous. You find out that a friend, a significant other, faraway relative, or someone has had the same dream on the same night as you. Not much study has gone into the phenomenon of mutual dreams, but there is a very strong bond that exist between these two people. *My Experience: My self and were appointed as a committee chairman and secretary of CDA project and we often deliberate on means of generation fund. I woke on morning and he promptly mentioned a name, which I already dreamt of overnight. SHARE your dream experience! |

Well, there is this very deep well infront of my house, so deep that if you don't have a very long rope, half of your body must be inside the well, while the rest stay outside before you can draw water from it. Then I had this dream, in my dream I needed to fetch some water and it was raining heavily. When I got to that well, I discovered that the well that used to be very deep became so shallow that I don't even need a draw to fetch water from it, I actually used a bowl to take water from it which was very easy for me. When I woke up, I've forgoten the dream already, it was in the afternoon that one of my teacher called to ask if I have checked my O'level result, I almost fainted, cos I didn't know that our result is out already. I quickly call some of my friends and we went to the cafe 2gether. On getting there, the first two checked their result and I gave up cos I knew if those two guys could fail maths then I'm hopeless. When it was my turn, lo and behold I cleared everything, I was so happy. It was later on that day I remember the dream and what it actually meant. Since then, I've been taking some of my dreams seriously. |
