Dreams are a succession of images, thoughts, sounds, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.

Cultural history

Jacob's dream of a ladder of angels

Throughout history, people have sought meaning in dreams or divination through dreams. Dreams have been described physiologically as a response to neural processes during sleep, psychologically as reflections of the subconscious, and spiritually as messages from gods or predictions of the future. Many cultures had practiced dream incubation, with the intention of cultivating dreams that were prophetic or contained messages from the divine.

Judaism has a traditional ceremony called "hatavat halom" – literally meaning making the dream a good one. Through this rite disturbing dreams can be transformed to give a positive interpretation by a rabbi or a rabbinic court.

I'm waking up to dreams of committing suicide, what can I do to get rid of these dreams?
Q. I have been having repeated dreams of committing suicide. The dreams don't actually involve the final event of pulling the trigger, but they do involve holding a gun to my head. I'm waking up to these dreams and they are interfering with my ability to get a good nights rest. I have a therapist and a psychiatrist. I also am on anti-depressants already.

A. In the evening, do not allow yourself to watch or read about anything violent or depressing. Watch some funny movies, or read a funny or pleasant story. It sounds corny, but I love to read Reminisce magazine and learn about the lives that my parents and grandparents lived. It's lighthearted reading that doesn't evoke any negative thought patterns. Also, don't eat anything after 8 in the evening. Now, tell yourself over and over "I would never do something stupid like kill myself". Do this for several days. Say it with conviction. Before you go to bed, thank God for all of your blessings. He really wants to know that we appreciate what He has done for us. Don't let your mind drift to things that you feel He hasn't done for you -… [cont.]

Can my strange dreams be related to the start of menopause?
Q. I think I maybe be starting menopause. I do have an appointment with my gyno. But I have been having some really strange dreams lately. They are really effecting my sleep. I don't know why else I would be having these dreams. Has anyone else experienced this at the onset of menopause?
Asked by Gena G - Tue Sep 9 10:26:58 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Quite possibly, yes. I find that I have very strange dreams in the couple of days before my period, so I guess maybe there is some connection between hormone levels and weird dreams! The other thing I've heard is that when your body temperature is higher than usual, you don't sleep as deeply, and so you're more likely to remember your dreams. I don't know much about the menopause, but I know one of the symptoms is hot flushes, so it could be that your night time body temperature is a little higher than usual. So maybe your dreams are always that weird and you don't usually remember them!

A question about lucid dreaming and connecting/communicating with others in dreams?
Q. Has anyone heard of or had experiences communicating with other people in their dreams(or during lucid dreams). I think that my boyfriend and I have dreams together, but its hard to know for sure because he has a really hard time remembering his dreams. Is it possible? If so, how can I do this more often?
Asked by Gwen - Tue Mar 25 05:11:54 2008 - - 1 Answers - 3 Comments

A. I am able to Lucid Dream and in my search on yahoo, I have found a couple people who "Dream Walk" and I have mixed feelings about it. Some people have tried communicating with friends and others have done things that they believe have effected others in real life. One woman was a vampire and sucked another woman's blood in her dream and then swore she ran into the person one day and the person looked scared of her. I also had a man tell me that the same thing had happened to him. It seems to border on Satanic actions to me and I have never attempted to try it. I heard a woman on the radio the other night talking about how her mother would come to her in her dreams and then one night she tried it. She said she was above herself… [cont.]

A dream is the experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer.

Dreams can also be what we want for ourselves in our lives, our hopes, our expectations, our plans – things which we wish for ourselves but often seem forever to be tantalizingly just beyond our reach.
