What are Normal Dreams?

During day dreams, you are semi-awake. Clearly not asleep - but not fully checked-in with reality, either. A daydream starts with a compelling thought, memory or fantasy, and your imagination runs away. The longer you daydream, the deeper you becomes immersed in your private fantasy land.

NIGHTMARES

Nightmares, or bad dreams, are any normal dreams with a very scary twist. Often nightmares are caused by: Stress, conflict, and fear Trauma Emotional problems Medication or drug use Illness

Nightmares are indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for our subconscious to make up take notice.

Why Do Nightmares Occur?

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

Progressive Dream

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 have found a resolution to the problem, your recurring dreams will cease.

Recurring Dreams

Research has shown that lucid dreaming is accompanied by an increased activation of parts of the brain that are normally suppressed during sleep. Lucid dreaming represents a brain state between REM sleep and being awake.

What Are Lucid Dreams?

False awakenings are basically very vivid types of dreams. Like any normal dream, you assume you're awake, and you certainly don't know you're dreaming (if you do, you're already lucid). It begins in your bedroom, or the last place you went to sleep, or even a different bed altogether. You dream that you've woken up for real and somehow your brain mimics every detail of the room, exactly as it should be. Unless you question your reality you don't stand a chance.

What are False Awakening?

Healing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. Many dream experts believe that dreams can help us avoid potential health problems and help us to heal when we are ill. Our bodies are able to communicate to us through our dreams to “tell” us that something is not quite right with our bodies even before any physical symptoms show up. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he/she needs to go to the dentist or doctor.

Healing 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 our dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that we normally overlook or that we do not seriously consider. In other words, our unconscious mind knows what is coming before we consciously piece together the same information

Prophetic Dreams

Signal dreams help you how to solve problems or make decisions in your waking life.

Epic dreams (or Great 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 your 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.

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.

What are Mutual Dreams?

There are many examples of situations where a dream came true or was telling of a future event. When you have a dream that then plays out in real life, experts say it is most likely due to: Coincidence Faulty memory An unconscious tying together of known

informationHowever, sometimes dreams can

motivate you to act a certain way, thus changing the future.

Can Dreams Predict the Future?

Researchers don't know for sure why dreams are easily forgotten. Maybe we are designed to forget our dreams because if we remembered all our dreams, we might not be able to distinguish dreams from real memories.

Also, it may be harder to remember dreams because during REM sleep our body may shut down systems in our brain responsible for creating memories. We may only remember dreams that occur just before we wake, when certain brain activities have been turned back on.

Some say our minds don't actually forget dreams, we just don't know how to access them. Dreams may be stored in our memory, waiting to be recalled. This notion may explain why you may suddenly remember a dream later in the day -- something may have happened to trigger the memory.
