What are the real meanings of dreams? Do they really mean anything? If I've dreamed about hurting people in my dreams am I sick? They are all questions that can be asked by several people. Those people who look into dream interpretation, and some that make it their gospel even.
First off you have to actually remember what you had a dream about. A lot of the time people will awake and forget what happened in a dream. But if you would like to try and remember add a paper and pen beside your bed.
As a writer I get many ideas from those dreams that I remember, in fact I love having those fantastic and weird dreams. All the better to create a horror novel with!
Though everyone has their own thoughts on what their dreams really mean. There are dream dictionaries that you can find online that will tell you supposedly just what those dreams mean.
So what do dreams means? Well it depends on who you want to believe, but it does seem like most of the dream interpretations that you find on the internet are pretty closely related on most of the subjects and what they mean.
If you're a fan of Sigmund Freud or have ever studied any psychology you will know what his thoughts on dreams were. It's funny but all the meanings that he came up always had to do with some sort of hidden sexual feeling the person suffered from. Though it might have had a bit to do with his proclivity to snort Cocaine! Freud was a brilliant man yes, and his ideas were great, but do all dreams deal with sex? No.
Better yet should everyone's dreams be categorized as one way of thinking? Absolutely not, that would mean that everyone had the same thoughts, dreams and desires. This obviously is not true. So don't put that much into the meaning behind a dream.
In fact I would hate to think that everyone is the same. It's not the case, and although finding out what a dream might have meant is a lot of fun, it's not the end of the world if you have done something bad in a dream.
Heck dreams are the way that many live out fantasies they would never do in real life. So maybe in a sense Freud was semi right about his thoughts. Maybe it is the Id really trying to get out and show us how much fun we could have if we just let go. But most likely not.
