"The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego- consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends.".....Carl Jung

Dreams have two levels of interpretation, the objective (analytical), in which the symbols stand for external realities, and subjective (synthetic; "hermeneutic"), in which they stand for aspects of the dreamer's psyche. If the person dreamed about is of vital interest to the dreamer, an object interpretation is probably appropriate.

The physiological theory centers upon how our body, specifically our brains, function during the REM phase of sleep. Proponents of this theory believe that we dream to exercise the synapses, or pathways, between brain cells, and that dreaming takes over where the active and awake brain leaves off. When awake, our brains constantly transmit and receive messages, which course through our billions of brain cells to their appropriate destinations, and keep our bodies in perpetual motion. Dreams replace this function.

Until someone proves or disproves one of these theories, or poses an alternate one, we are left at square one. Our knowledge as to what causes us to dream is limited to the fact that we do dream, and that dreams occur during the REM phase of sleep. Sweet dreams!

There are different types of dreams, of course. Prophetic or telepathic dreams, problem-solving dreams (aha!), recurring dreams, lucid dreams, nightmares, and others. However, a good general rule is that the majority of your dreams, over time, are about you: your worldview, conflicts, fears, loves, and progress through life.

Your dream may be very specific and down-to-earth about something going on right now in your life. Or you may have a dream that requires a bird's-eye kind of perspective, as if you are looking at the events from a great height or with the perspective of a lot of human history behind it (or a lot of your history behind it). As you follow your dreams over time, you'll begin to understand what each dream requires of you.

Dreams generally speak in a multi-dimensional language of feelings, images and multi-level associations rather than linear words and concepts. Says author Bernie Siegel, M.D., "While our minds and our bodies communicate constantly with each other, most of this exchange occurs on an unconscious level. That’s why I often advise patients to start recording dreams, because the body cannot speak except by using symbols."
