Written on 21 July 2021

Just to be clear, this is not a new age or transcendental article. It's a play of words that will become apparent later on in this article. If you can't accept that, now is a good time to exit.

Dream - The Definition

Oh, still here? Great. Let's start. In actual fact, I have no idea why I'm writing this since I'm not an expert on Dreams. What I do know is that they hold significance and most probably trying to tell us something.

As you can see from the above image (taken from Google search); there are two definitions for the word "dream".

I'll be touching on the first definition. It's the movie or clip played out by your mind during your sleep.

I don't have proof but I'd venture to guess that dreams have been baffling or intrigued (depending on how you look at it) since the dawn of time. I'll not be surprised if some of the cave paintings were records of our forefathers expressing some of their dreams.

Why do we dream?

It is not the scope of this article to answer that question. You will, however, be able to find many sites that touch on this topic.

I will say though that, dreams occur during our REM sleep stage. That's short for Rapid Eye Movement stage of our sleep.

Without going too much into it, I believe you should be able to observe this in your pets if you have any. That's the stage where they seemed to be moving their legs, presumably chasing something or being chased by a predator. Sometimes, you'll see them acting like they are having a huge buffet feast. Lapping it up with such intensity. I can share this with such details because I observe these almost on a daily basis on my pets. There were so exciting that I wish I could see their dreams.

Understanding Dreams

Again, it is not the scope of this article to interpret dreams.

However, I do have this to say - dream intrigues us and we yearn to find its meanings. Because of this, I'm sure it's no surprise to you that there are studies dedicated to understanding them and attempts to interpret them. You can Google to find all the links and read to your heart's content.

It is understandable that it is normal for humans to be drawn to what we don't understand and want to make sense of it. But I guess I'm not a normal human because I'm not like that. Yes, I'm curious but I may not be obsessed with finding an answer. Maybe that's just my personality.

However, that is not to say that I'm not intrigued by my dreams. I'm not sure how many of you can recall your dreams every time. I hardly ever remember them. Once I wake up, it's gone. I have no recollection of having ever dreamed. On very rare occasions, I do remember them.

Do remember my collection of sponsors! Do check out some of their crazy articles. You can always pick the titles that grabbed your attention. I can guarantee that there will be plenty!

Channel your Dreams

Two such unique occasions happened one after the other in the same week. That was slightly more than a week ago. Those dreams were so clear that I could still remember them this week.

One was a strange kinda futuristic dream and the second was a funny oral hygiene dream. I have no idea why I had these two dreams and remembered them.

This was when I have decided to start a dream channel at noise.cash. It is called "Share your Dreams" just to document these two dreams. I have documented these two dreams there. Do check them out.

Invitation to share

Do feel free to share your dreams there, however weird. Okay, please make it PG-rated. Yeah, you know what I mean. Other than that, please do share your funny, sad, horror, dramatic dreams there. I'm curious. I'm sure there are others who are curious to read them. Once in a while, it's good to take a break and read something that may not make logical sense.

Other Channels

In a blink of an eye and it's been a month since I had written this and not published it. Since writing this article, I'd gone on to start a few other channels of which a few more fun ones are Back to the 80s, and 1990s: nineteen nineties. Come and see how many of the posts there reminds you of your childhood.

Thank you for reading, stay safe and see you in the next article.
