Dreams 101

Tweet

Dreams are emotions, sensations, images and ideas that occur during sleep. They most often occur during REM sleep when brain activity increases. People dream usually about 5-20 minutes each night. There are many theories as to why people dream including processing and managing emotions, consolidating memories, and even cultural influences. They can be a window into the subconscious mind or a realm beyond the physical world. In the Bible it says that dreams offer insight and foresight into actions one should make. Many Dreams include devine symbols or even the Lord. Dreams generally tell us something about a particular issue we are dealing with in our lives. They are often symbolic and use characters and images to communicate their messages.
