I don’t think dreams mean anything other than knowing our brains have far more capacity than what we think they do, I believe that dreams are our brains way of searching possibilities of things that may never happen, that may not even really apply to the situation you’re facing, but it’s your brains way of exploring possibilities that it wants, or fears.

So say you have a nightmare, that means that you have inner fear in your life and you’re brain is channeling that inner fear and turning it into a fearful dream about your life, and if you have a happy dream, than you’re happy and your brain is taking that happiness and putting into a happy dream about something happy in your life.

My research included http://psychcentral.com/lib/9-common-questions-about-dreams-answered/0007820 and http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/dream7.htm and they led me to the conclusion that while some dreams may have symbolism and a strong connection to everyday life, most dreams follow along the lines of my idea that dreams are just random ideas your brain has and decide to show you.

I have a very easy time remembering dreams and this has given me the luxury of sometimes knowing how my brain is feeling, so before Christmas I had a dream where I was running, but the ground was moving like a treadmill so I couldn’t go anywhere, and I saw my friends and family moving past me but I couldn’t go anywhere. I decided this dream meant that I was stressed and that I needed a break to catch up, good thing Christmas break was almost there.

Another time I had a dream that I was skiing and then I bucked off a cliff, but when I was about to hit the ground it disappeared and I was just falling until I woke up, but I was going skiing the next weekend so I just decided this was my brains worst case scenario and that was how it was showing me.

In conclusion, I think that dreams can mean things, but most of the time they are just your brain telling you things that you wouldn’t normally think about.

That is my views on dreams and what they mean, I started my research on this topic by looking at http://psychcentral.com/lib/9-common-questions-about-dreams-answered/0007820 and I read that and formed my main idea.

Then I went to http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/dream7.htm and realized that there are some dreams that have a deeper meaning, but most are just gibberish.

Thank you for reading my blog post, next entry will be next Friday, so stay posted!

Psych Central

There is no such thing as love at first sight. The idea of this is impossible because you can look at someone and be physically and sexually attracted to them and claim to be in love with them but you cannot have feelings as strong as love at first sight because love is a thing that comes from talking, getting to know somebody, and then you can confidently say that you love them. But at first sight, all you can say is that you are extremely attracted to this special person but love is something that can’t just be claimed at a first impression it has to be felt throughout your body. In how I met your mother they once said “But love doesn’t make sense. You can’t logic your way into or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it, or else we’re lost and love is dead and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do.” —Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother Season 9, Episode 22. You can’t feel that strongly about somebody just by they’re appearance, no matter how aesthetically pleasing they may be. When you fall in love you know it, you feel it everywhere. Everything I have learned about love, my parents, television, books, it’s all led my to believe that you can’t look at someone and decide you love them there is a certain criteria to love that can’t be fulfilled by just somebody’s looks. You have to know them, and that is the only way to love somebody.
