Dreams
The moment you wake up, you realize that dreams are merely dreams and reality is still reality.
Dreams occur involuntarily in our mind when we sleep.
Involuntarily meaning it is unlikely that our conscious mind has control over it.
But how much exactly is it controlled by our mind?
Over the centuries, people have sought the meaning behind dreams that bother them, dreams that means something to them.
Physiologists would say it's a reaction to the neural process occurring in our mind when we are asleep.
Psychologists would say it is what reflected in our subconscious.
Believers would say it is message given by other possible beings, even the prediction of the future.
There are some researches claimed that solutions to certain problems are found in dreams. Problems that may bug the dreamer in conscious state.
I personally find myself agree better to 2 other hypotheses:
1) By Freud that bad dreams allow our brains to practice control over our emotions resulted from distressing experience
2) By Kramer that dreams regulate moods
Both speak about the benefits of dreams in preventing over-excitation of emotions.
I feel that dreams are resulted for self-protection. When there's occurrence of distress, avoiding the pain probably hides the negative emotions within us and through dreams the feelings can be unleashed and vented out. On the other hand, when the dreamer constantly live in pessimistic state, positive dreams help to lighten the mood.
Eventually when you wake up, you will realize that dreams are merely dreams, and reality is still reality. But deep down, your emotions are slowly finding a balance.
