Every person has woken up in the morning at least oncewith the thought: "Why did I dream about this?" And it doesn't matter whether you believe in the dream, or you were simply surprised by the bright night "movie". Having seen something unusual in a dream, people wonder: what if this is not without reason? There is a whole theory for the classification and deciphering of night visions. And the funniest thing is that the same object can mean completely different events. Did you dream of a fish? To pregnancy. A woman is already mentally preparing for motherhood, and the dream book is in a hurry to "calm her down". They say that if you dreamed of a dead fish, then this means losses. And if a live one, then to happy love. And the girl walks around in thought: did she dream of a live fish or a dead one? It seems that a good half of the readers recognized themselves in this description. So should we believe that our dreams have some special meaning, or is this an empty exercise and should we not attach any importance to our night visions?
Dreams in antiquity
So, let's figure it out:Can dreams be trusted, or do they not predict the future? The Bible interpreted this unambiguously. Remember how the Virgin Mary learned of her pregnancy? Her husband had a dream. And he did not think about whether to believe what he saw, or to look for a more agile man in his circle, who had gotten ahead of him. Let's not question the biblical theories. Let's just accept as a fact that people believed in dreams even before the coming of Christ. And if you look at the date of the first edition of dream books, it turns out that our great-great-grandmothers were interested in the interpretation of dreams. In ancient times, it was believed that with the help of dreams, deceased ancestors try to contact us and tell us important news, and a person who believed in such statements was not considered an eccentric at all. So what do our dreams really mean? An ancient way of predicting the future or prejudices whose roots go back to a past era? Should we believe in dreams, or are dream books just entertainment for naive young ladies?
Dreams in history
Whether you believe in dreams or not, but in favorThere are many facts about prophetic night visions. Let's remember the unusual dreams of great people that led them to great discoveries. Mendeleev saw his famous table in a dream. Mendel discovered the laws of heredity. Gauss - the law of induction. Fleming dreamed of the formula for penicillin. But the results of such dreams are very easy to explain. All of the above people thought about future discoveries for a very long time, and in their sleep, the brain simply suggested the right solution. It "thought up" all the combinations. And if a person had not remembered his night dream, he would have come to the right solution naturally. In the morning. However, there are cases in history when dreams came true and were absolutely inexplicable. For example, Alexander the Great saw in a dream a herb that could cure his friend of a fatal illness. Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his own funeral on the eve of his death. Do you believe in prophetic dreams after this? Skeptics claim that these facts are a simple coincidence. But in ancient times, people rarely thought about whether they should believe in dreams, and blind confidence in predictions sometimes saved lives. Emperor Augustus saw in a dream that his enemies had cut up his tent, and when he woke up, he ordered another one to be put up. And he ordered the old tent to be left as bait. And what do you think? Not even a few days had passed before the first tent was cut into pieces. Such dreams can be confidently attributed to providence. This is something inexplicable, forcing scientists to throw up their hands in confusion. But we must admit that such prophetic visions happen very rarely. And we dream every day. Therefore, let's leave inexplicable facts to science, and we ourselves will continue reasoning about simple, everyday dreams.
Believe it or not?
So, back to our question:Can you trust your dreams? Yes, sometimes you even need to. Because dreams are often used by our brain, our subconscious, to "talk" to us. You automatically analyze what is happening, and in a dream you get a picture of the logical conclusion of the current situation. For example, a student led an idle lifestyle, and on the eve of exams she dreams that the teacher puts a "fail" in her record book. And what, let me ask, should he have put it? As a result, bad dreams are to blame, an equally bad teacher, and the girl herself remains in the role of a victim. And there is also an opinion that dreams should not come true overnight. It takes time for some dreams to come true. So we come to another explanation of the effect of prophetic dreams - self-hypnosis.
Will it come true? Of course it will come true!
In fact, whether you believe in dreams or not –depends on the degree of your susceptibility to external influence and suggestion. Did you dream of a piece of raw meat? The dream book helpfully suggests: "disease." And what do you do? You start listening to your own body in search of alarming symptoms. As a result, your mood deteriorates, your head starts to hurt, and then all the other ailments that can appear in a once healthy body come along. And how did it all start? Just with the meat you dreamed about!
Let's sum up the results
So, can you trust dreams?You are probably already confused by long reasoning. In fact, everything is simple. Do you want to believe in dreams? You are welcome. Just make sure that your passion for dream books does not affect the course of your life. And always try to analyze the dream. Did you dream of a cat? The reference book will tell you that a cat is evil. But you saw your pet in a dream. Is it really possible for it to bring you something bad? Or did you just pet your house cat for a long time last night, and that’s why you dreamed of it? Whether to believe in dreams is up to you. And finally, we would like to wish you pleasant dreams.
