I have often thought that dreams must be more than the snips we are entertained with at night when we sleep. Some people dream things that are unbelieveable. I often dream as another person with people who in reality I do not know but in dreams they may be my children. What can anyone add to this information?

Dreams are very strange and I think there is much more to their existence.

I agree (but then I agree with most "out of the box" theories ). I think dreams can be a few things, either a vision of the future, a vision of the past, a vision of an "alternate" universe, etc. I to sometimes dream about people who, I don't know in the waking world, yet seem to have known forever in my dream. It's always this girl with brown hair...I don't know.

How about dreams are rather a process that actually acts as sorting of experiences and subconcious notations.

Too much star trek can be bad for you

Yeah, but that's no fun .

Dreams do serve a purpose to our overall psyche and existence. Dogs have dreams. Dreams seem to be evidence of a universal broadcast of information...a broadcast from Timelessness where everything exists at the same time...no time. We visit this realm every night. It is very important to write down all you can about what took place during a dream. Some say that the real means of communications is through reading the symbols given you by events in life...Dreams might be the realm where these events issue forth through the generative order.

Here, this is a Topic I started a while ago in the Mysteries of Mind, Space & Time section... Try there, maybe give your opinions.

Thanks, but I would like to keep it right here.

I hate to be a nag, cause you have an interesting topic here, I just didn't think this had anything to do with Ancient Mysteries, or Alternative History...Thought I would just get one big thread going, nevermind...

I think dreams have a lot to offer Ancient Mysteries...After all, dreams made Israel what it is today. Dreams are all over the ancient map as the impetus to religions, movements, groups and lets not forget Thoth's dreams that seem like a highly advanced society. Ancient Mysteries of Dreams indeed is what this post is about. We go from the ancients knowledge of Dreams to our present understandings.

Mr. Cook,

For the first time on this board, we agree. Because, though arguably, dreams can certainly be seen as having a profound, inherent affect upon Ancient Mysteries.

Our literary and cultural realm is/was/will be entirely intertwined with a conscious and a subconscious connection and stimulus soley due to the influence of dreams.

Martin Luther King Jr. didn't pull "I have a dream..." randomly or for poetic reasons. He could've chosen no less than a dozen different words, yet "dream" is "le mot juste" that captures the sublime essence of that desire like no other word-image... using "dream" is what makes that speech, King's reality and vision, timeless... and that's just one example: I could list hundreds of others.

Excellent topic.

Thank you, Mr. Cook.

i once did a science fair project on dreams...and i didn't win LOL but anyways the thing is about my dreams is that i even experienced this morning. I woke up at 7 and i didn't have to be up till 8...well i fell back asleep and ihad a dream that lasted for more than 1 hour...i mean it lasted for literally a long time. I feel that our concious is in 2 dimensions at once. Thats the only way i can explain it to myself.

There's nothing special about dreams. They're just something that happens when we sleep. the fact that other animals have them is (stop the presses!) just a sign that (here it comes...) our brains are (the drums reach a climax.....!) similar!

Time, do you mean simular as, have a concious?
Or that because we have brains, its simular to animals dreams because they have brains?

really. what would you say is the differince btween animals dreams an peoples dreams,(i mean perception based they must be the dame close to ours, but what else would you say they have incommon)
really just a question i curious about..

I agree, dreams are like going to the movies,entertainment for free.


here is a good link.

Sounds familiar.

Alright. Yeah, it is best to keep them seperate...I agree dreams have a lot to do with this, I just didn't think that was where you were headed...

How do you get into the movies for free

--Jon

Nothing is free.

Natures grandeur is free.
Friends are supposed to be free.
It is your humanness that puts a price on everything.

Dreams are our brain's way of sorting different things. Sleep is similar to a computer reboot. Our brains act like both ram and a hard drive. The ram needs to be cleared every so often to be able to temporarily store information.

Most dreams have no profound meaning. If I wrote down the dreams I have, it would make a pretty good horror novel, but that's about it.

Dreams, does one really think on what is happening here? It is information downloaded to your mind...you are thinking upon something that is moving and has sequential events that have meaning just as your waking hours yet is different. Dreams offer an opening to the background of existence...a realm where one sees all, even the ones who have passed on are there with you. One wonders, are dreams the open door to the universe of Timelessness??? Timelessness is no time and all time. It is where everything exists all at once. That which did not move here, moves there...Change, its name was the only constant now it is the means to a dream.
