Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.

Cultural history

Jacob's dream of a ladder of angels

Dreams have a long history. They have been a subject of controversy and disagreement. Throughout history, people have sought meaning in dreams or divination through dreams. They have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the subconscious, and spiritually as messages from gods or predictions of the future. Many cultures had practiced dream incubation, with the intention of cultivating dreams that were prophetic or contained messages from the divine.

Judaism has a traditional ceremony called "hatavat halom" – literally meaning making the dream a good one. Through this rite disturbing dreams can be transformed to give a positive interpretation by a rabbi or a rabbinic court.

How could dreams be random firings of neurons when they tell a story?
Q. They form a storyline and make connections in the brain- sometimes they make sense. If it was just random firings of neurons then wouldn't it just be flashes of random things and not connect in any way? Some dreams are like that but what about the ones that piece together a story?

A. Have you ever "free written", where you just write what ever comes to mind for a short period of say 2 minutes or even 10 minutes if you are familiar with the process? You just let your mind wander and write whatever comes to it. That is what your subconscious mind is doing, just "free writing". Perhaps it is picking up on subjects that concern you, topical subjects, or maybe they are metaphors. Or maybe they are nothing but "free writing". Paul McCartney woke in the middle of the night with the song "Yesterday" almost completely written by his subconscious mind while he slept. It became the biggest selling song in history because thousands of people have recorded it in every language over the last 40 years. Some people keep notebooks… [cont.]

How come I have dreams about people that I have never met before?
Q. I am constantly having dreams about people I've never met before, and places I've never been to. Aren't dreams supposed to be reflected on things you've seen before? I am a believer in fortelling dreams, and intrepetation, but I want a fuller understanding of it. I want to know how it works, and where our dreams come from.

A. It may be because you have ONE of the three extra-Sensory perceptions. There are 3 types of extra-sensories perceptions: telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition. What you had expecienced might be the precognition. In parapsychology, precognition (from the Latin prae-, prior to, + cognitio, a getting to know ) is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person perceives information about future places or events before they happen (as distinct from merely predicting them based on deductive reasoning and current knowledge). Precognition is the direct knowledge or perception of the future, obtained through extrasensory means. Precognition is the most frequently reported of all extra-sensory perception (ESP) experiences, occurring… [cont.]

A dream is the experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer.

Dreams can also be what we want for ourselves in our lives, our hopes, our expectations, our plans – things which we wish for ourselves but often seem forever to be tantalizingly just beyond our reach.
