Dreams are full of mystery. They often consist of hapharzard events, faces and emotions that we must carefully piece together... sometimes without much success. However, not ALL dreams are mysterious. Many actually serve an important function: they help us release our fears and inhibitions, and sometimes, even hold the answers to critical problems in our lives.Experts have distinguished several dreams categories. Here are three main types:
1) Release dreams:
These help us resolve internal conflicts or issues that our subconscious is trying to work out. Pay attention to those recurring - and often disturbing - dreams as they may stem from a deep-rooted conflict. Some claim that these dreams are vital in helping us stay 'sane'.
2) Wish dreams:
Ever dream of winning the lotto? Or that you have just scored the winning goal in an international hockey game? (I'm sure most Canadians can boast this one).
These dreams are simply reflections of what our subconscious (or conscious) minds truly desire. Now, you must learn to read between the lines given dreams of winning big may be uncovering the need to feel important or valued, for example.
3) Prophetic dreams:
These are my favorite. And this is where I'll focus on for the next few blog posts. Prophetic dreams are also known as pre-cognitive or psychic dreams. And no, you don't have to be psychic to experience them. We've ALL have them.
We just need to train ourselves to remember, decode and recognize these dream reels.
When do we know if we've had a psychic dream? Well, a simple rule of thumb is to determine whether the events or messages were presented in a chronological order. Prophetic dreams are almost like mini-movies.
These carry messages - or warnings - that the dreamer must listen to. Some psychic dreams may involve a messenger (i.e. a deceased loved one) or another important or recognizable figure in the dreamer's life.
I've had many, many such dreams. Some of which I've already discussed in previous blog posts. Some of which I will share in the coming weeks.
Now, I'm turning to each of YOU to share some of your dreams.
What was the most significant message that you've received in a dream? What did you do about it? Do you see these as a blessing or as a curse?
