My World Imagined
Somewhere, I have been told that only incomplete dreams are remembered. Dreams are part of the subconscious mind that gives way to conflict and/or desires. To me, conflicts and desires are opposite ends of a spectrum. In some cases, you can have conflict with what you desire, and visa versa, but when it comes to remembering dreams, remembering them rarely happens when the dream thought is complete, finished, resolved, done with.
All this meaning that once the subconscious mind completes a dream sequence, the issue or desire is resolved or satisfied, leaving little room to revisit or remember. It makes sense when you think of it in terms of problem-solving. Once you solve a problem, yo no longer have to spend time or energy on that issue any longer. See how that works?
Doctors, scientists, and people that work in that field of study have many many theories, and they all consist of relating to the individual that's doing the dreaming.
It's not alarming that some sleepers remember their dreams and others don't, many may question if they even dream at all. I say that there is more than likely a chance that everyone dreams, but withing their dream, they tend to complete their dream whereas there is no need to remember. Meaning their completed dream has gone to a place of satisfaction where it no longer have relevance.
I say, when a person is awakened by a dream or any outside distraction, it's more of a chance to recall what you were dreaming about because the thought/dream is incomplete and/or interrupted, but the mind doesn't forget, it just moves on to another subject. My theory for saying this lies within this question: Have you ever been awakened from a good dream then attempt to go back asleep to recapture that same dream? It never happens.
There are life oriented or work related dreams that are re-occurring night after night and don't seem to really have a resolve. I feel that it is due to a cycle in your daily awake life that is done routinely ...such as going to a job doing the same thing, or walking the dog around the same block night after night at the same time every evening and morning. It isn't something that needs to be resolved in your dream, but can easily be altered in life. Take on a mew project at work or take the dog on a new route... It may be the one thing that stops that re- occurring sequence of dreams.
People who tend to remember their dreams also respond more strongly than others to hearing their name when they're awake, new research suggests.
Everyone dreams during sleep, but not everyone recalls the mental escapade the next day, and scientists aren't sure why some people remember more than others.
I do believe that dreams are our connection to the conscious and subconscious that allow us to be uniquely us. I also feel that it is a good practice to pay attention to our dreams as they are guides that can lead us to our greater possibilities. If ever dreaming, and you grab hold to something in you dream, you can almost bet that you will remember that dream vividly because it contained something you felt you had possession of.
With every dream, there is something that will be left behind. ...Usually mental opposed to physical. Never stop dreaming.
The world is yours imagined.
Namaste'
