Beautiful word dream, though it sounds in all languages of the world in different ways, understandable and close to each person. However, for some reason it does not work to give it a generally accepted meaning that can fit into the explanatory dictionary.
Of course, psychology has scrupulously dismembered and systematized this ephemeral area of consciousness, giving the dream a concrete shape and defining its structure and principle of action. Nevertheless, each person's understanding of the dream remains purely individual.
What are the dreams and why do we dream? Dreams and reality.
In order not to get lost in the maze of psychological terms and at the same time to define the subject of this article, let's try to identify something common in the universal interpretation of dreams.
So, what is a dream?
This is a phenomenon that fully belongs to our consciousness and, importantly, to the subconscious. It is a thought that is sometimes very vague and sometimes has clear outlines.
This is a kind of alternative to reality its ideal variant in our understanding. It is a virtual reality that exists exclusively in our imagination.
All these definitions converge only in one aspect - dream has no connection with reality, existing with it in a parallel plane.
Is that so? From this tricky question there appears the notorious stumbling block the answer to it depends on the specific point of view, or rather on its angle.
The abstract concept of dreams is very stretchy, but in each case, you can give quite certain interpretations of the phenomenon.
What are the dreams? Sales and unrealistic, collective and purely personal, grandiose and modest, specific and vague, common and strange. In some context, dreams help to get away from reality, and otherwise to change it.
To connect the imagination, under whose protection all our dreams exist, with the harsh reality, we use our minds, in most cases possessing the ability to think logically and rationally.
Mind is a kind of censor, strictly separating the grain from the tares, the real from the unreal, possible from the impossible. However, in the case of work with a dream, this censor often tightens its criteria, covering logic cowardice and unwillingness to make efforts.
Should we dream?
Dream is our inner voice that tells us our purpose and shows us the right way of life. It is the vector in which our soul is predisposed to move, but for some reason it does not move.
The connection between dreams and reality lies in our ability and desire to hear this inner voice, to understand our meaning and meaning encoded in the dream, and to choose the right direction for ourselves.
Put your dreams into concrete images, images into words, and words into actions and then you will be able to create your own reality, which has much more in common with ideal ideas than it may seem.
The benefits of dreams
The main function of the dream is to put our desires in a clear and precise form, which has a positive effect on the emotional state of the person. Having a detailed picture of what we are striving for, the achievement of the goal becomes much faster and easier.
It has also been proven that dreamers are less likely to encounter all sorts of psychological disorders (depression, seasonal depression, neuroses, etc.).
This is due to the fact that plunging into dreams, a person for a while abstract from the troubles and problems, sometimes completely forgetting about them. This unloading is very useful for the nervous system and ensures its stable functioning.
Do not forget that the dream is one of the strongest types of motivation. In addition to the fact that it perfectly develops the imagination, the dream also stimulates people to develop an action plan to achieve it.
That's why, dreaming, it is worth to present the most vivid and positive images, thus making their desire to realize them soon.
Why do some people have even the most incredible dreams come true, while others remain losers for the rest of their lives? Many peopl¿e wonder what they need to do to make their dreams come true.
Psychologists, esoterics, psychics agree on one thing: there are a number of rules and conditions that can be followed to bring any dream come true.
What to do, make the dream come true?
Rule number one - specify
Dreaming of something far away, beautiful and completely useless is useless. It is necessary to specify the dream. The more clearly you represent your ultimate goal, the more chances you have that soon you will get what you want.
For example, you don't have your own place to live, and you are eager to have your own apartment. Imagine in which area your apartment is located, on which floor, in which house: brick or panel.
Walk through the imaginary rooms, look at the wallpaper, at the furniture, think about the view outside the window. Your head should have a clear picture of what you want to achieve.
