Human Psychology and Dreams

The pious intelligence of human beings interrupts, only when our will power remains suspended, or unaffected to external states.

It has been proved that women dream more often and vividly than men, because their dream composition is less influenced and allied to external movements. A nightmare suggests to a dreamer, health and diet needs attention, relaxing is necessary, to sleep in a well ventilated room in a relaxed posture. Human dreams are basically of 3 types viz. spiritual subjective and physical. They relate to past, present and future and are also influenced by past or subjective, physical and spiritual causes.

The subjective dream possesses an element of caution and divination, though the true meaning is hidden in symbols or allegory. The subjective dreams are a result of the mental pictures of the dreamer related to his past falling on his conscious mind at present. It is dependant on the picture which the dreamer assumes and accordingly it brings the ill or good fortune.

Physical dreams are more or less not very much important. They are super induced by the anxious waking mind and when this is so, they do not possess any prophetic significance. But as the past and the present enter into shaping a dream i.e. the future, the reflection thus left on the waking mind should not go by unheeded.

Finally, the spiritual dreams are brought about by the higher self penetrating the soul realm, and reflecting upon the waking mind approaching events.

Developing the power of Dreams
Always retire to bed in a negative condition. This is possible once you your minds clear and free from all sorts of material rubbish as much as possible. A person can completely relax his mind and body to the receptive mood required for dreams to appear as realities, or true explanations of future events.

Dreams Exaggerated
The will is suspended during sleep, and so the dream mind is more a prey to excitability than the waking mind. Thus, when images appear upon the dream vision, they are frequently distorted into hideous malformations that fill our mind with fear and excitement.

The constant dwelling of the mind upon certain things distorts their shapes upon subjectivity, thus throwing dreams in exactly opposite channels to the waking reality. Yet, we always feel a sense of being awake in dreams like these.

When dreams are less prescient
Dreams are subjective symbols used to impress the material mind with the upcoming sense of good and evil. The spiritual part of we - the human beings is Subjectivity. Any kind of thoughts first enter our physical minds and then affect us.

Frequently, the soul becomes so much filled with material or present ideas, that the spiritual symbols are crowded out, and then it is that dreams seem to be contrary. Material subjectivity, that is all thoughts and ideas emanating from material sources, go to make up this section of dreams.

Interpretation of Dreams

The interpretation of dreams by dream experts is probably as old as dreaming itself. We know that all humans, and many animals, dream every night, and humans have always been fascinated to learn what causes dreams and what they mean.
 
 The interpretation of dreams dates back at least as far as 3000-4000 B.C. We know that because the interpretations of dreams were recorded in permanent form on clay tablets. It's thought that many primitive peoples were unable to initially distinguish between the real world and the dream world. For more details visit to www.joint-venture-guide.com
In many cases, they looked upon the dream world as an extension of the physical world around them, and in many cases they saw the dream world as more powerful than the waking one.
 
Dream interpretation was such an important field to the ancient Greek and Roman world that dream interpreters often accompanied generals and other military leaders into battles. Dreams were taken extremely seriously, and the Greeks and Romans in particular often viewed dreams as messages sent by their gods.
 
Dreams also had a religious content in ancient Egypt, and priest their doubled as dream interpreters.  Dreams were among the items recorded by the ancient Egyptians in the form of hieroglyphics.  Those whose dreams were especially vivid or significant were thought to be blessed and were given special status in these ancient societies. Likewise, people who were able to interpret dreams were thought to receive these gifts directly from the gods, and they enjoyed a special status in society as well.
There are over 700 mentions of dreams in the bible, and people in biblical times saw dreams as very significant.  Dreams and their interpretations are mentioned in many of the most significant books of the bible and other holy scriptures.
 
In many cases, dreams were often seen as a form of prophecy. People often interpreted their dreams as omens or warnings, and adjusted their activities accordingly. Dreams were often thought of as omens from deities, as messages from spirits, or as messages from departed souls. In some cases, dreams were even seen as the work of demons, meant to confuse and trouble the dreamer.
 
Dreams were so important that they often dictated the actions of political and military leaders, affecting everything from the prosecution of a battle to the outcome of a political decision. Dreams were also thought to provide vital clues to healers, and they were used in the diagnosis and treatment of all manners of illness.
 
Dreaming was often looked upon by indigenous peoples as a way to commune directly with gods and spirits, and dreams are still used in this way by cultures around the world. Many people believed, and some still do, that during dream sleep the soul leaves the body and communes with the spirit world.

The Chinese were one culture who believed that the soul left the body each night during dream sleep.  They believed that if the dreamer were suddenly awakened the soul may not be able to return to the body.  That is why some Chinese are still leery about the use of alarm clocks. This is just one example of how ancient legends can linger into the modern world.
 
Some Mexican and Native American societies share this ancient view of the importance of dreams, and share the belief in a separate dimension that is visited during dream sleep. These people believed that their departed ancestors lived in their dreams, and that they were able to take forms like animals and plants. Thus dreams were seen as a way for them to commune with their recent and ancient ancestors, and to gather wisdom and knowledge that would serve them in their waking lives. To know more logon to www.jointwebventures.com .Dreams were also seen as ways to gather information about their purpose or mission in life.
 
The respect for dreams changed radically early in the 19th century, and dreams in that era were often dismissed as reactions to anxiety, outside noises or even bad food and indigestion. During this period
Of time, dreams were thought to have no meaning at all, and interest in dream interpretation all but evaporated. This all changed, however, with the arrival of Sigmund Freud later in the 19th century.  Sigmund Freud stunned the world of psychiatry by stressing the importance of dreams, and he revived the once dead art of Dream Interpretation.

Define the symbolism behind my dream?

I am looking for someone who may be able to interrupt my dream. Last night I was dreaming. Myself and 7 others I don’t know were found guilty in court for terrorist act. The sentence was hanging. One by one the rope was slipped over our heads and we were asked for last words. Everyone said no they had nothing to say. I was the last person to be asked if I had anything to say. I began saying I didn’t to it. I was shocked that the judge found me guilty. I try to explain I’d never do anything of such horrific nature to anyone, and I can not understand why no one believes me. I said I wanted my family there with me, in the back ground I heard my much younger niece laughing, and her mom told her to shut up, and called her by name. They were slipping the hood over my head when I woke up. When I woke up I was crying.

Dreams can usually be traced back to something the dreamer saw during the day. If we are worried our anxieties can interrupt our sleep, have you recently done something that is troubling your conscience and which you feel your family would condemn? It's not so much the specifics of the dream that are important, more that the dream indicates an unresolved conflict you are feeling frustrated about.

What is a good dream book/dictionary?

I am reading the dream book by Sylvia Brown but now Im looking for a dream dictionary there are so many out there I want to get the best one.

I've bought a few of them over time, but I really like the one I have now. It's called "Dream Dictionary: An A to Z Guide to Understanding Your Unconscious Mind" and it's by Tony Crisp

It's a good one because unlike most of them that only give you one or two possible interpretations, all of which are very vague (like if you dream of a dog, it'll give you this bland interpretation based on any dog), this one gives you 5-6 different ideas at what they might mean and even narrows down to detail. Using the Dog example, it'll tell you something different depending on the color of the dog, the nature of the dog, how the dog approaches you, etc. I've never seen another one so detailed.

It's also cross-referenced, so if you look something up like "prison" it will direct you to the captions for "cell" "cage" etc.

Lastly, as a bonus, it's not just a dream dictionary, it's also a sort of encyclopedia that has articles on all kinds of different sleep-related topics, like lucidity and insomnia.

I need to narrow the topic. I want to write anything on dreams and i need a specific topic. The paper is supposed to be two to three pages and I'm a sophmore.
