Everyone already knows that we dream every night, although many times we cannot remember dreams. And, despite the fact that Calderón de la Barca tried to reduce importance with his famous phrase of ‘And dreams, dreams are’, we are convinced that dream experiences fulfill some concrete function. What are dreams for? We try to find the answer in our Dream Dictionary.
Already in the Iliad, Homer pointed out the importance of dreams. The Aedo introduced us to the dream accompanied by the adjective ‘pernicious’, so they have the dream experiences. And, indeed, Zeus sent the pernicious dream to visit Agamemnon at night to make him believe something that was not true, to deceive him.
Truth or lie. If dreams are true or deception, it has been discussed for a long time and the answer does not exclude any possibility. What is clear is that dreams can be very useful. Dreams serve several things.
Dreams serve to recognize our fears
When we suffer nightmares we think of karma or that our subconscious wants to torture for some unknown reason. But it is not so. In the meanings of each nightmare are each and every one of our fears, which we recognize and those who do not dare to recognize.
Dreams serve to get alert
More than premonitory dreams or visions of the future, dreams serve to keep alert, to call attention to certain problems we have or what we are about to have. It is generally emotional problems and it is the way our subconscious to let us know to take appropriate measures.
Dreams serve to know our needs
Dreams also serve to realize our desires and needs. Without having to follow Sigmund Freud to the letter, many dreams talk about pending issues with the past, our instincts and all those wishes that we do not dare to externalize.
Dreams serve to know us better
In short, dreams serve to know each other better because everything we dream is an invitation to introspection. When we seek the meaning or interpretation of something we have dreamed we are investigating within us, reflecting on our character and analyzing our personality.
