Why the memories of the past return to your dreams
You did not remember that schoolmate or your childhood games or your grandfather’s brother who died so long and, suddenly, one night your dreams are filled with memories of the past. It is logical to try to understand the meaning of this dream because surely your feelings will be intense. Sometimes for good and, other times, for worse.
+ In this dream in which you remember things from the past, the emotions you observe in sleep are especially important. It can be melancholy or sadness thinking that any past time was better, feeling frustrated for not being able to relive those happy experiences of childhood or noticing that emptiness of the lack of illusions.
+ Or maybe in the dream and when you wake up you feel happy because you have remembered things you had forgotten. The summers with the family, the cousins with whom you barely have contact, those authentic friendships or that first love. According to sleep reactions, the message will be more positive or more negative, so pay attention to your dream.
+ Waking up wanting to cry thinking about the past can be the announcement of a depressive state to which you are about to arrive. Your present does not fill you and you are clinging to your memories to find some happiness. However, you may wake up more strongly and with more desire to use that past and those memories as an experience learned, lived and enjoyed.
