We should take much care of our conscious mind than sub conscious mind.So dreams are not to be taken seriously.

Dream research in it's most base form has been occurring for centuries.

In ancient societies, dreams were viewed as prophetic messages from the heavens.

With the modern advent of dream psychology in the late 1800’s, thanks to a man called Sigmund Freud, we now know of the internal origin of our dreams.
Freud’s theories of the unconscious were revolutionary for his day and were accepted with much skepticism.
Freud believed in the unconscious nature of dreams, that they were repressed desires and wishes and by discussing these with his patients he thought he could help cure mental disorders. For more fascinating information on Freud click here .

Freud’s work gained many followers one of who was Carl Jung who took a slightly different direction. Unlike Freud Jung saw the unconscious as far more than a dumping ground for rejected emotions. Dreams for Jung offered solutions to unresolved problems.
The next major event in dream research occurred with the discovery in 1953 by Aserinsky and Kleitman of the phase of sleep called REM, characterised by rapid eye movement and intense brain wave activity.
Sleep laboratory research showed that people woken during this REM stage of sleep reported vivid dreams, leading to the conclusion that dreaming occurred in this stage of sleep.Plz visit the below sourcefor complete answer.

No not really. They are all the stuff that has gone into our subconcious and when we are asleep they all get jumbled up and the concious mind isn't there to put things into perspective.If you are bothered by re-accuring dreams or nightmares there is a way of removing these from our subconcious.Reading books on the subject would be a good and safe way to start.

Dreams are a vehicle in which your mind communicates ideas, warnings and health issues. Sometimes they even communicate the future!

Dreams are a vehicle in which your mind communicates ideas, warnings and health issues. Sometimes they even communicate the future!
Dreams are not a way avoid facing your difficulties, in fact you hit them head on.
You can use your dreams as a passing sort of entertainment, or you can elect to use them regularly as an aid to you in your journey through life.
First off, MOST dreams are NOT prophetic. To instantly assume this, will lead to many mis-interpretations! Your dreams are usually selfish, meaning that they are about you specifically, a good 90 percent of the time. With that in mind, you should be able to tie in the theme to some particular area of your life. Here is a good tip: When you ask yourself, "What specific area of my life is this dream about? "as opposed to asking "What's this dream mean?" you will arrive at a conclusion faster. Always assume, at least to start off with, that the dream is about you, and a message to you. Since you made the theme, you should be able to place it into some aspect or condition present in your life. A real good sign that you thought up the right area of your life it is addressing, is when you get that "Ah HaH, THAT'S IT!" feeling. Sometimes, if it is a bad dream, the feeling is more like "oh no, that's it!". Either way, when the connection is made, you feel it and you know.
Dreams are very efficient. Meaning, they can address multiple issues on multiple topics all in one story line! A dream can warn you of health dangers, predict the future, point out personality flaws (or credits) and solve a current problem all in one dream! Some dreams are worthy of repeated analysis, and just because you can come up with two or three interpretations, does not mean that only one can be right, in fact they could all easily be right.

There are those who claim to be able to interpret dreams, but it's just guesswork! No two people have the same dreams for the same reasons. In our brains we store information, memories, events and images during waking hours. During 'dream' sleep, all of this gets jumbled into weird, scary or nice subconcious imagry which we call dreams or nightmares. The reason it is often difficult to recollect dreams a few hours after we wake is that these images are not real to the conscious mind. We remember nightmares longer becaus...

The reason it is often difficult to recollect dreams a few hours after we wake is that these images are not real to the conscious mind. We remember nightmares longer because our body's reaction to them is stronger. We remember recurrent dreams longer as we do anything that is repeated over and over until we commit it to memory! So, I wouldn't take dreams seriously! Think of them as fictional mini movies which our brain uses to scare or entertain us while we sleep!

On dozen of occasions I would have a problem at work with a computer or network system. I would work on it all day and still not be able to solve it. Then as I dreamed, the answer would come to me! Sometimes I would wake up at 2:00 or 3:00 AM and go to work to test it and almost always, I would fix the problem!

Strange but true!

Well, the mind experiences daily life right? We react in daily life, to what we experience (see, hear, feel...) Dreams are pretty much the same. Our mind is not aware, on a conscious level, that it is dreaming. The mind thinks that it is absorbing stimuli, and reacts. The mind reacts to whatever experience a dream may bring, as if it is really happening because in essence, it IS really happening. For example, Say in life, you have never been chased down an alley by someone who intends to hurt you. But if your DREAM that...

The mind reacts to whatever experience a dream may bring, as if it is really happening because in essence, it IS really happening. For example, Say in life, you have never been chased down an alley by someone who intends to hurt you. But if your DREAM that you are being chased down an alley by someone who intends to hurt you but you now know what it's like to have that happen. Your mind experienced and reacted to being chased because it really thought you were being chased. So if anyone ever says "Have you ever been chased down an alley?" You can say "No, but I have dreamed I was once so I do know what it feels like to be chased.." I'm babbling but do you understand my meaning?

Some people do learn to be consciously aware that they are dreaming and can even control certain aspects of a dream. Anyone can do that actually, it just take desire and practice.

Yes, I believe we should take our dreams very seriously. However, we have to be careful about interpreting them literally. They are more about feelings that we have (even subconsciously) that come out when we sleep. So, for example, whenever I have a dream about being scared and running from something, I ask myself what it is that I have anxiety about. Eventually, I can figure out what it is that is making me so nervous.

I also believe that if ideas or objects keep reappearing in our dreams, they usually mean something in our lives too. They are hidden desires or goals or fears that we should pay attention to. Dream analysis books do offer a real start, but many times you can figure out what they mean by yourself.

I know dreams play a strong role in my life and my future. I have gone so far as to keep a notebook by the bed to write them down. Dreams can shape your future.
