At long last I have thought of something to post !! (40)
Englishman55: What do our dreams mean, if anything at all.
Not such an exciting thread, I know, but it always made me wonder.
I normally experience bad dreams infrequently, but they are always about my past, with a fair amount of truth in them.
Do the nice dreams I have tell me anything about me or my future. They involve current situations and possible future scenarios.
Could they affect our thought process enough to change the future.
The expression..... "Be careful what you wish for" springs to mind !
Any thoughts or personal experiences to share. ?

In my experience
both, nice and bad dreams might tell future events in one's life.

Hello English.
I could tell you what dreams are but I fear people are getting to think of me as a know it all. It is understandable as I do know it all but I don't want anybody to know that I know it all.
Just kidding I really couldn't possibly know it all because I forgot most of what I knew. The brain has a way of deleting stuff automatically. It's impossible to know what's been deleted because you forget you knew it in the first place. It's all very strange.
WTH was your question? I forgot!

Some of my dreams definately mirror my concerns or worries at a certain time; I remember dreaming regularly about being lost in a big old house and not being able to find my way out - that was when I felt trapped in my marriage.
Some of my dreams make me smile, if Im happy in my life, and some - well, not for forum reading..
I think my dreams, certainly, definately reflect my current state of mind, to be sure, to be sure..

Many of our fears are personified in dreams because it is a safe place for them to be aired. It stops the mind overloading and leaving us overstressed. Dreams often give us answers, in a round-about way, to what puzzles us too, or things that trouble us.

My dreams are usually re-enactments from movies I seen or women I've been with or family gatherings. So they are more like dwelling on what mattered most to me, with me being in the starring role. 
But lately I keep dying in my dreams for some reason. I'm also having recurring dreams of a huge hand over a big red button and cartoon soldiers running around saying, "Don't do it or he is going to push the button and your going to die".

Hey folks,
I know I started the thread and I really want to hang around to read the replies, but I need to go off and do some work.
I hope to be back later to catch up, but in the meantime, many thanks for your thoughts so far.
They give me more food for thought and glad I'm not the only one who wondered about the subject.
Enjoy the thread... have a good day and catch you all later

Your dreams appear to be about loss of control in your life and not being able to be yourself.

gingerb: Your dreams appear to be about loss of control in your life and not being able to be yourself.
Well I am still in the starring role, so I am still being myself, and that could be the reason I keep dying now, cause I won't change to be with a woman. But the soldiers, what's up with that dream? What is it they don't want me to do?

My dreams are usually adventours ones and some scary like being chased by a bear or falling of a Cliff but never actually touch the ground, maybe because I am affraid of high buildings.....
My happy dreams are mostly romantic ones of someone I fell in Love with but cant´t have.....That is a bummer.
when you wake up and realise it was all a dream.........
Or a dejavou...I have been here before.........

ok serious answer. When you are im REM sleep your brain is very active. This is when there are no outside stimuli to distract the brain from solving problems. The brain is able to perform this problem solving process most efficiently at this time. It can run all kinds of "What-if" scenarios to arrive at a solution which is why dreams can be so weird when you remember them after you wake up. This is why people dream of being in totally alien situations and doing things they couldn't do in real life.
This is also why most people can solve complex problems in their sleep that may have baffled them during their waking period.
Have you ever solved a problem in your sleep? I have. I have invented things in my sleep that would revolutionize the world but forgot what the hell it was when I wake up. Pretty useless huh?
I don't think dreams have any bearing on future events except that a dream can alter a persons behavior going forward which would change what happens in the future.

Hi Ginger,
I have found many a solution to a problem when I woke in the morning and can recall seeing it in a dream.
It is sometimes quite a revelation. !

Thanks for that Ooby,
It does answer why I can find a solution to a problem with just a good nights sleep, and I have always been a believer in the saying..... "Lets just sleep on it" when I have a problem.
The solution usually becomes clear or at least the problem is not so large.
Maybe you could answer my other question !!
Why is it that my dreams always seem to end just when it's getting to the good/best bit. ?
It's so bloody frustrating and happens frequently.
Rarely do I get to the happy ending or the gruesome bit, and I'm left hanging as to what happens next.
I have often tied to restart such dreams the following night, but usually can't remember exactly what happened.
How frustrating is that ?
