A dream is a succession of images, sounds or emotions that the mind experiences 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.

The cultural meaning of dreaming

Jacob's dream of a ladder of angels

Throughout history, people have sought meaning in dreams or divination through dreams. Dreams have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the subconscious, and spiritually as messages from gods, the deceased, predictions of the future or from the Soul, for symbology is the language of the Soul. Many cultures practice 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.

I'm waking up to dreams of committing suicide, what can I do to get rid of these dreams?
Q. I have been having repeated dreams of committing suicide. The dreams don't actually involve the final event of pulling the trigger, but they do involve holding a gun to my head. I'm waking up to these dreams and they are interfering with my ability to get a good nights rest. I have a therapist and a psychiatrist. I also am on anti-depressants already.

A. In the evening, do not allow yourself to watch or read about anything violent or depressing. Watch some funny movies, or read a funny or pleasant story. It sounds corny, but I love to read Reminisce magazine and learn about the lives that my parents and grandparents lived. It's lighthearted reading that doesn't evoke any negative thought patterns. Also, don't eat anything after 8 in the evening. Now, tell yourself over and over "I would never do something stupid like kill myself". Do this for several days. Say it with conviction. Before you go to bed, thank God for all of your blessings. He really wants to know that we appreciate what He has done for us. Don't let your mind drift to things that you feel He hasn't done for you -… [cont.]

How can dreams be compared to others dreams to find out if they are normal?
Q. I think, my dreams are weird and untrue. What can I do to stop obsessing over problems and stop being harmed by stresses?
Asked by Bolton Wanderer - Fri Feb 5 09:32:34 2010 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Everyone's dreams will be different as dreams are effected by daily life. I have tons of weird dreams like last night I had one about being on a boat that was driven by seagulls (it was scary). Everyone thinks that they are abnormal or something but if you come on websites like these you can see that everyone is just as weird (or normal) as each other. Maybe you should type your dream into google and see what comes up. Sometimes when I'm stressing over my normalness I just type in what is going in my head and see what comes up. There are so many blogs and websites like this that everytime atleast one thing comes up. Try the website and see what others are worrying about or just type in your problem, and of course you will get some idiots… [cont.]

What do dreams about altered staircases mean?
Q. I frequently (about every other month) have dreams about staircases that have been altered in some way. Like, you're going up & then at some point there's a big gap in the steps & you have to jump to make it, or you fall a long ways. Sometimes there are obstacles you have to jump on or swing across to get to the next steps. I'm usually with people in these dreams, & they have no problem making it to the next step, but I'm freaked out that I'll fall. The other day, my brother told me he had a dream about a spiral staircase where the steps were lilypads, & it was hard to get from one to the other. He says that he dreams about weird staircases a lot, too. What do these dreams mean?

A. Steps can represent a pathway which is elevating you in life or downward depending on which way you are going. When steps are missing in a stair case it means there is bit of knowlegde or wisdom or instruction missing which would allow you to place your foot firmly. Having a to jump an obstacle or swing means you have to to things the hard way or an alternate way which is not easy

Dreams are the perceived experiences of images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep, or the envisioning of events and potentials during normal consciousness. Many of the events of dreams are impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are often outside the deliberate control of the dreamer.

If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake — Aye, what then? ~ Coleridge I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was. ~ Shakespeare
  • People say that your dreams are the only things that save ya... Come on baby in our dreams, we can live our misbehaviors
  • The center of every man's existence is a dream. Death, disease, insanity, are merely material accidents, like a toothache or a twisted ankle. That these brutal forces always besiege and often capture the citadel does not prove that they are the citadel.
