What do your dreams mean?

Your dreams naturally affect who you are, and say a lot about you. But, how do you know what they mean? A dream has the power to fuse the body with the mind and the spirit and if you are able to interpret your dreams it will provide you with insight into yourself.

You can have different types of dreams, both peaceful and horrific ones. Daydreams, healing dreams, epic dreams, recurring dreams, nightmares, coherent dreams, prophetic dreams, and misleading dreams. There are also times where you can have full awareness of your dream and control what’s going on and what will happen next.

Our dreams actually lead us to what we want, while in dream mode we can see situations from a different perspective, and ultimately even find solutions to problems around us, these trances inspire us. The society we live in and the people that surround us do have a big part in affecting what we dream, and it says something about where and how we live. If we’re all dreaming about drugs and alcohol, our town probably needs some cleaning up and taking care of. Or maybe we all dream about killing sprees and dying, if that’s the case, this is not a highly regarded tourist town.

“I continually dream that there is a zombie apocalypse, in this apocalypse, there are two teams my team which contains the Honey Badger, and Cole Erquiaga’s team, Cole refuses to join forces, therefore he does not survive and I win,” said Joseba Criswell. “I translate the meaning of this dream as that I am simply better than Cole and when the world falls apart I will destroy him.”

It’s hard to interpret dreams as an outsider typically if you are the dreamer you are the one who can interpret your own meaning best. For instance, if you normally fly, or are open and free in your dreams it can be translated as you feel above all, or ‘on top of the food chain’. Death dreams usually mean you recently lost part of yourself or you’re suppressed.

“It all started in Mexico years ago where a golden mask of a god went missing; I stumbled upon this mask on my uncle’s property, but did not think anything of it. Later my uncle approached me violently confronting me about entering his shed, where we witnessed an odd pinwheel with multiple severed heads,” said Cameron Echave. “Suddenly he puts the mask on, and charges at me with a knife, that morphs into a chainsaw. After a struggle, the mask comes off and he stumbles impaling his throat on an empty spike of the pinwheel. When I was little I was very afraid of my uncle, so I feel my fears cumulated into this dream today.”

There are complexes that are told to often affect your dreams. It is believed that almost every girl and boy throughout their lives will experience a mythical complex. For boys, the complex is called the Oedipus Complex in which Sigmund Freud hypothesized. The Oedipus Complex is where every boy at one point in their life sees their mother as a sexual object and has thought about sexually possessing her, and killing their father. Girls experience a complex also developed by Freud, known as the Electra Complex. In the Electra Complex, it is a psychosexual competition with the girl’s mother to possess her father.

So what are your dreams saying about you? If you’re not listening to what your dreams are saying to you, it may be time to open up your ears, before it’s too late.
