What do you know about your dreams?
The chances are that at some point in your life you’ve dreamed that you were falling or that you were taking a difficult exam or that you were being chased by someone (or something). Common dreams like these are shared by most of us. Dreams make up part of our daily lives and have had an important impact on our culture and history, but what do dreams actually mean? Do they even mean anything?
Almost all cultures have thought that dreams might have important messages for us. The ancient Egyptians thought that gods could communicate with us through dreams, and from their experiences they built up a ‘book of dreams’ – and nightmares. The Greeks had a god of dreams, called Hypnos. One Roman emperor claimed he saw his death in a dream before it finally happened, and dreamers in medieval Europe thought that the devil could enter dreams and even influence the way people behaved!
By far the most common dreams are of falling and flying; both are thought to happen when we move from one stage of sleep to another. If you’ve ever had one of these dreams it could signify that you’re going through a big change in your life or you could be trying to escape from something. Often people dream they are trapped doing a repetitive task over and over again, such as looking for a toilet or playing a game. In our jobs, our schools, and even our relationships, we sometimes end up feeling bored of the same old thing. Perhaps these dreams are telling us that it’s time for a change or that we should take up a new challenge. Another popular dream is about losing your teeth or your hair. Experts say that these dreams may indicate that you don’t have enough confidence or that you might be worried about what other people think about you. Similarly, dreams about driving a vehicle which is out of control could be a way of your unconscious self telling you that you need to take control of your life.
If you’re really serious about working out what your dreams mean, then researchers suggest keeping a ‘dream journal,’ where you record significant events and images from your sleeping hours. Write down anything you can remember as soon as you wake up – even if the dreams don’t make sense now, they might later on when you have had the chance to reflect on them. Telling other people about your dreams might also be a way to understand them. Another person might have a different perspective on what they mean, or they may have had a similar dream themselves. Also, just because experts think that falling dreams mean that you want to run away from something, it might not necessarily be true for you. The best person to understand your dreams is probably you!
However, lots of psychologists today think that dreams just aren’t significant. The theory is that they are simply random pictures from our memories that we make up stories from when we wake. Dreams themselves are actually meaningless, they say. They may well reflect how we are feeling about ourselves or show us something about our mental state, but they don’t have any special message for the future or any connection to something more spiritual.
But many writers, singers, scientists, and inventors would probably disagree, especially those who have used something they saw in a dream in their work. Albert Einstein claimed he came up with the theory of relativity after a dream and James Watson dreamed the shape of DNA before he discovered it!
