Unraveling the Mystery: Why Do We Dream What We Dream?

Everyone dreams for about two hours every night, with dreams most vivid during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of sleep. However, many people struggle to recall their dreams. Approximately one-third of the population reports having no memory of their dreams at all.

Why Do We Think What We Think and Experience What We Experience?

Even in sleep, our minds remain active on some level. When we're not actively directing our thoughts, our unconscious mind wanders through a wide and deep spectrum of thoughts. These wandering thoughts can manifest as dreams during sleep.

The Flow of Information: From Conscious to Subconscious

The information of the day is stored in our conscious drive. As we sleep, this information gets processed into the subconscious mind. The first two hours of sleep involve processing mundane activities and memories, while the middle two hours delve deeper into the subconscious, where past or past-life memories may surface.

Subconscious materials are often metaphorical, leading to chains of dreams and symbols. These are dreams that carry significance and can hold answers to stress and problems. The final two hours of sleep are characterized by venting dreams, where unnecessary beliefs and thoughts are released.

Lucid Dreams and Their Significance

When individuals become aware of their dreams during the dream state, it is called a lucid dream. In these moments, the body, mind, and people may assist in providing solutions. Positive emotions such as pain, good relationships, or sour ones can all hint at solutions during the dream.

The Power of Positive Thinking

The subconscious mind plays a pivotal role in shaping our reality. If you repeatedly tell yourself that you are a millionaire or that you are becoming better and smarter with age, these affirmations can eventually manifest in your life. Instead of replaying negative thoughts from childhood, you can reframe your mindset into one of positivity and abundance.

For example, imagine telling your subconscious mind that you are the hero, that your credit card is unlimited, and that you can achieve anything. These affirmations can positively influence your waking life over time. The process may take varying lengths of time, depending on the individual.

By understanding the power of our subconscious mind and the significance of dreams, we can enhance our lives through conscious mind-directed actions and positive affirmations. Embrace the mystery of dreams and use them as tools for personal growth and wellbeing.
