What´s A Dream Journal?

When looking into the meanings of dreams, a variation of things can be found. Most people believe that dreams are a reflection of people’s inner thoughts and feelings. Most of these feelings are too private to be expressed in the real world and that is why they are expressed in a fantasy type way through dreams.

I remember having dreams and when I have had them they were very interesting, and I wander why. 1 Reading the text book, it says most people dream four to five times a night, but not all people remember their dreams upon awakening in the morning. Non-dreamers are often surprised by their dreams when they first awake. (Dennis Coon, 2016). 1 How meaningful are dreams? Some theorist believe that dreams have deeply hidden meanings. Others regard dreams as nearly meaningless. 2 Yet others hold that dreams reflect our waking thoughts, fantasies and emotions(hartmann,2011). I also looked up on the Dream Bible which I never knew that these sites exist, so it was very interesting reading the different sites. 3 The dream Bible says

In the start of the dream I was dreaming and woke up to write down that dream in the journal. Unfortunately, I could not remember the dream and I felt stressed and pressured to have an interesting dream. When I finally woke up my dream journal was blank. The reason I dreamt about writing in the dream journal is because three day before, my teacher assigned us to write al of our dreams down and I never could remember my dreams so I felt stressed to have at least ten dreams. In the dream I was frustrated because I couldn’t remember the dream. The dream had no meaning because dreams are just neurological firings that are synthesized by the upper brain.

Dreams are scenarios your mind creates which represents who you truly are, were and are destined to be. You 're mind creates illusions that either further enhance your knowledge on what your purpose in life is or could make you fear it. Dreams are essentially part of the foundation of a persons life. Rudolfo Anaya in the novel Bless me ultima uses the concept of dreams to demonstrate the growth and the loss of innocence Antonio faces from beginning to end.

Dreams are a very important part of most peoples lives. For me, dreams provide a way to motivate myself to do well. They give me something to strive for, so if I’m struggling or lacking drive, I can think about my dream and it will keep me going. Having a dream is also important to me because your dreams, in my opinion, define the kind of person you are. Many times people’s dreams reflect what a person likes to do or what they want in life.

I often dream about nonsense, but when I have an interesting dream and I wake up, and immediately write down notes on my iPod. When I read my notes one or two days later I get confused on why and how that was written down, but after reading what I wrote a few times, it jogs my memory. Maybe keeping a dream journal in addition to a writing journal might help.

Dream analysis has undeniable benefits within the realm of therapy, but is by no means restricted to use in therapy. Details in dreams can represent larger ideas in a person’s life, details which can uncover the truth. A person’s dreams are knit very closely with that person’s thoughts, morals, and life. Therefore, dreams speak truth about a person; these truths can be the key that opens closed doors. Vital memories seemingly lost can be re-acquired through dream work which can improve everyday life.

When most people lay their head to rest they dream. Dreams sometimes have a significant meaning. Usually the meaning of the dream or the dream in general is in the back of one's mind. However, sometimes people might need to be wary of their dreams if they warn them of the future. In literature authors use dreams to occasionally show the past or even future.

Over the past few nights and mornings, I made an extra effort to remember and record my dreams from the previous night. From re-reading my notes on my dreams I have already concluded I have very strange dreams that I can hope to make sense of after looking at the different theories of why we dream.

The book was an interesting read with a concept I have never heard of before. The thought of never knowing what a normal life feels like is a hard idea for anyone to understand for many of us are so used to having at least a small form of stability in our lives. The main character, A, wakes up in a new body every day and never having the same family, school, or friends more than once, I felt sympathy for A. What really made me feel sympathetic towards A was how they described the process of being in someone else's body every day as though they were describing it as the most mundane thing even, A is used to never living a day as the true A and have become completely unfazed by their situation. When A does have a small taste of what a normal exist feelings like though their relationship with Rhiannon I couldn't but help root for them, at least in the beginning.

Every Day is a heart wrenching tale by David Levithan about someone called A. They have an extremely hard time living their life because every morning they wake up in a different body. Whether it is male or female, light or dark skinned, gay or straight, when A wakes up every morning they are in someone else's body. Though luckily as A gets older he spends the day in the body of someone his same age. To keep this summary from getting too confusing A will be referred to as a “he” throughout this Review. Though A retains memories of his life in past bodies he is also able to access the past memories of the body he is currently inhabiting, allowing him to live a day in the life of that person without arousing too much suspicion. A has made peace

Personally I have always felt that my dreams meant something bigger, like they were clues to life helping me grow in one way or another. Sometimes my dreams set the mood for the day I will have, and it’s rare if my dreams become a premonition, but they have happened, and that’s something anyone could be intrigued about. It’s extraordinary that dreams are the one place we can’t control, and that just makes us want to know more about what is really happening in our minds. Reading about these cultures shows me that our dreams are bigger than us and humanity will also spend the rest of its life trying to decode what they are and the meaning behind

Dreams have been around as long as the first civilization came to be and have been a normal part of human existence. One third of your life is spent sleeping, and of that third, on average you will have spent a total of about six years of it dreaming. Most people dream on average two hours every night, but you can have anywhere from four to seven dreams in one night. According to research, the most common setting for a dream is in your own house. In our dreams we can do anything we want and be whoever we want to be. Our dreams are an escape from reality. While we dream we are unable to control our actions and choose our surroundings. We let our minds take over. Sometimes dreams can be understood in the context of repressed thoughts. Dreaming serves as an outlet for those thoughts and impulses we repress during the day. When we go to sleep at night and slip into our dream state, we feel liberated and behave in a manner that we do not allow ourselves to in our everyday life. Visions and ides can come from your dreams. Often, authors, screenwriters, and even poets turn to their dreams for inspiration.

You see, I developed a bit of a habit, I would record my experiences in the journal after the episode was over, every single day, and then to somewhat still my heart I went over some of what I had written previously.

The mysterious traits of the dream have always mesmerized us. Known to depict the future or show a person’s hidden desires, dreams have aroused our curiosity. They have been used for different purposes throughout the history as well; renowned psychologist Sigmund Freud analyzed dreams to diagnose mental diseases, and Surrealism artists adopted dreamlike qualities within their pieces of art. Some people are known to be more sensitive to dreams and tend to remember them precisely when they wake up. I am one of those people as I tend to dream every day (most frequently, about driving) and can clearly create a mental image of the dream. I believe my dreams of driving a car depicts my desire to become an adult and is an accurate reflection of myself.
