You're really helpful, so ty for all your help! It IS appreciated.I was just wondering why dreams sometimes get so very weird, like surrealism. Off the top of my head, like I'd see people walking past me and they'd all have 3 eyes and no head, just noodles that come up out of their collars that ended in their eyes. What's even stranger is that I DON'T SEE THIS AS STRANGE! Not at the time. What's also weird is when I have memories of things that never happened. Not a "knowing," but actually recollections while in the dream and/or I'll not recall my real life at all. Any idea why this is? IP: Logged |

Hello Dervish  I don't know why dreams can get so weird. I suppose it doesn't seem strange at the time because we are immersed in our own subconscious worlds, and the language of our subconscious minds. Why our sub/unconscious minds speak to us in this way, I just do not know. I understand what you mean about the recollections. I don't really know the answer to that either, but I suspect that the dream world is more real than we acknowledge, especially as it is interconnected with the Astral Realms and all of those associated realities. Who knows what lives we live "over there", consecutively with this reality, but I suspect there are many.  IP: Logged |

Dervish you need to read Sigmund Freud's INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS published in 1901.------------------

Hi Sag-Cap Could you give us a brief synopsis of what Freud had to say about Dervish's questions? I would truly like to know, and I simply do not have time to read his book. IP: Logged |

Hey, I'm not an expert on psychoanalysis by any means - but I just wanted to add that Jacques Lacan (a student of Freud) built on his dream work and although I've never read Lacan myself, his work has been recommended to me as an excellent way of learning about dreams. IP: Logged |
