Dreams, how true are they? Are they the third (and possibly far more) of ourselves? I had been having recurring dreams for the whole week. In fact, for the whole of last month, I remembered each and every dream I dreamt of. Is that a siren or a false alarm? Yes, I dream even during the day. Perhaps my thoughts are too tired of being locked up such that they haunt me in my dreams. For the seventh day of my week, the same person had been appearing in my dreams. Diffrent setting, different time, different place but the same person. What exactly is wrong?
Narcolepsy, often connected with sleep paralysis and vivid, frightening dreams at sleep onset, is characterized by irresistible daytime sleep attacks and collapsing at the onset of strong emotions (known as cataplexy) while remaining conscious (and so should not be confused with fainting).
Research has shown that most recurring dreams are described as being unpleasant. Furthermore, many dream theories converge in their view that this type of experience is associated with lack of progress by the dreamer to recognize and solve related conflicts in life.
No, the dreams were not menacing. But they were dreams that carry mixed emotions. While the scientific part of me urges me to link dreams to my daily activities, the other part of me strays to the belief that dreams, in the same way, encompass yet another entire dimension of experience, a world as yet unexplored by most, where a fascinating sphere of activity awaits investigation and possible harvest for greater fulfillment in waking life.
Maybe dreams improve our waking life, supporting Shakespeare's age-old claim by MacBeth that sleep and dreams are the "chief nourishers in life's feast" But how do I move forward? How do I get past this stage? It feels like a lucid dream, thank God.(Lucid dreams are uniquely different. One realizes that one is dreaming while the dream is still happening. The scene often suddenly expands in richness and color as the dreamer becomes aware that the world being experienced, although appearing utterly real and believable, is only a dream and that she or he is actually safe asleep in bed.) Otherwise I would have peed in my bed or start my teeth grinding routine, or even sleepwalk and get hit by a car as a result. Dreams... Do you believe in them?
