Sources of Dreams

How do we dream, or how does a dream come to our senses?

We know that the dream is a subject of applied psychology. There is also some connection of philosophy. One can have a never-ending discussion on the topic of human dreams.

No real-world detector or sensor has yet been developed which can quantitatively assess human dreams. There are, of course, applied psychological laboratory setups in the academic research arena that try to assess human neural systems.

It may not be objectively ascertained that only humans can dream. Other animals, such as the orang family, possess brains similar to humans. Their mental states during sleep may give rise to fragments of stimuli similar to dreams.


What are the sources of dreams?

The dream is a topic of deep research in applied psychology. In human life, the topic of dreams has special attention. Humans like to think about the dreams they dream of while asleep. But, sleep is probably not the source of dreams.

Although dreams appear to the human mind in a subconscious state of sleep, imagination can take place inside human minds at any time. Imagining that something is happening may be considered hallucination.

Since we live in the real world, our day-to-day experiences in the real life may, sometimes, act as the sources of our dreams. Our brain memory retains these experiences. The acts of celebrities may also add huge "salts" to dream-inducing memories.


Postscript

I found interesting discussions by the Nobel-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman in his book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" It is a must-read book if you haven't read it.

Feynman postulated that one might control dreams, and he experimented with himself. He failed to control his dreams.

  • I think it is always better to daydream than to dream while asleep.

  • Reality often becomes a part of our dreams and vice versa.

Enjoy your dreams of life both while awake and asleep.

Try to connect work and daydreams.

We dream depending on the thoughts of our mind. Dreams can be seen without waking up even if you dream in your sleep. We are thinking about what to do with the future . Again, we think about it all day and see those dreams during sleep at night.

I just think whatever we see in dreams are our thinking's, as people who are overthinker suppose they are thinking about money or worried about something then they will sleep they will see similar things in their dreams so I think whatever we think it becomes part of our subconscious mind and we see those same things in our dreams as well

Many people don't remember anything and others can remember very detailed dreams, another mystery. Sometimes better daydreaming!

Yes, I like daydreaming, a self-accessed mental tool to replan the future.

The subject of dream can not be overemphasized. I've heard different thought on dream, such as "your dream is majorly what's running on your mind", your dream is what will happen in future" etc.

But, sleep is probably not the source of dreams.

This, I'm thinking deeply right now🤔

Our dreams are directly and indirectly thoughts linked to us. I have read animals also dreams like human but they have no sense of perception like human.

Daydreaming may be an experiment to seek answers to questions.

Dream is the most curious thing of human brain.Some people said it's all about our thinking and some said that we see what we do at the parallel universe.It's funny but dream is really an interesting part as i think.

This is interesting. Some say we dream of the life we have had before...some say of the events we have experienced before now...some say of the things we constantly replay in our head...a lot of theories... We can also see another aspect of it Biblically...as instructions from God...

I read a story (a very short one) that wrote about how the author's maternal uncle once could see some questions on mathematics in his dream. The next day, he found the same questions in the mathematics paper in the school examination!

There are many strange or normal things that can happen in our dreams, this will depend on what our subconscious wants to teach us. Dreams can show us random things that we see in our daily life, also this can be linked to what we see on TV. Many times we do not realize that it is a dream, we think it is reality despite the crazy things that may happen in the dream. Sometimes I wake up and say "did that really happen or was it just a dream?", but then I start thinking and say, that's impossible.... So it's a dream, but it's just that sometimes it looks so real that the mind plays with me and I don't know if I'm still dreaming or I'm still awake

Dreams are, sometimes, very real when we can positively relate them to our life.
