Your dreams are reflections of your inner being. Through dreams, we return to our primary self where fears are real and desires are possible. Most of the time, dreams are not controllable, they just manifest the way your mind directs them. This is because your subconscious mind is in charge now while your conscious mind gets its much-needed rest.

There are many ways to interpret your dreams, from one belief to another. Some see dreams as warnings of illness and bad luck while others look to symbols to foresee their future. While this may be true for some, most of us ordinary beings use dreams as a way out of our repressed reality.

When we are in our waking state, the subconscious mind picks up everything that your conscious mind doesn’t. You see, your conscious mind uses eyes to see things and these eyes are trained to see them as your society would, rendering them incapacitated and unfair. To fit in, some human emotions are best ignored, but your subconscious mind holds on to them for longer periods of time, so they come up while you sleep.

To find the meaning of your dreams, it is best to identify the dream with yourself first. Your current emotional state greatly affects your sleep as it occupies your mind from now on. Your dream also acknowledges your weaknesses and vulnerability. By accepting your flaws, you will be better equipped to face your fears.

Nightmares, on the other hand, are the things you refuse to accept. These are situations that demand our attention but that we choose to ignore. Nightmares haunt you until you decide to do something about it.

As for health, dreams are also very useful. Based on ancient belief, dreams are given by the gods to relate future conditions and illnesses. Of course, there is no medical basis for this claim, although it is not entirely impossible.

Basically, dreams are interpreted based on how you see them. They can be symbolic or real, again depending on how you receive them. Without a doubt, dreams are useful for your mind to grow outside the limits of reality. Use your dream as a tool for personal growth and acceptance; after all, your dreams are still you, no matter what.
