Dreams: imagination or reality?
We receive so many dreams during our life. So much information that we don't pay attention to when we are less spiritual... So much information that is revealed when we sleep, through our dreams.
However, this question has always been present in the minds of humans: are dreams real? What is the meaning of this gigantic amount of information that is downloaded into our consciousness every night? We must imagine that the universe is like a “Cloud” in which we all live… And our soul is like our own personal computer, which is always connected to this gigantic universal “Cloud”, and which constantly receives and sends data .
What are dreams?
In the ancient Sanskrit language, dreams are called “Sapna”, which means “something that concerns us”. Throughout the day and over the years, we register many experiences within ourselves, some of them conscious, and others become unconscious within us.
Even if certain experiences (like sometimes trauma) can be momentarily repressed, repressed in our unconscious, our mind uses this mechanism to protect itself, as a defense mechanism. But nothing is lost, everything is recorded, and can be resolved when we gradually become aware of these parts of ourselves, these % of memories...
Why do we dream?
Dreaming is a natural phenomenon, just like we all have other natural activities like washing, going to the toilet, eating, etc. What the mind is not able to process or integrate immediately, it begins to project into our dreams to get our attention and begin an inner work of cleansing. What this means is that things that we cannot understand or digest immediately remain held within us until we are ready to do inner work. This can be done by decoding them to extract the true meaning, that is to say the symbolic meaning, in order to rectify the patterns which are no longer functional.
It takes a deep understanding, through symbolic language, to be able to understand our dreams and use this information to change, to evolve. Because a single dream, well decoded, can change a life, through what it shows us about ourselves, and the changes that we can create even in concrete life thanks to these awarenesses...
Dreams are our own inner reality
Yes, dreams are real... And they can even be more real than our concrete lives. Dreams reveal to us various facets of our personality that we experience throughout our lives through the roles we experience (child, parent, friend, spouse, student, worker, etc.). Dreams show us our blockages, our weaknesses, but also our strengths, our qualities.
Very often, the conscious mind tends to reject what it does not like, it creates a facade to escape from what puts it in difficulty, and which requires effort to work on. But dreams open the veil, without any bias, and clearly show us what we need to rectify within ourselves, and also our potential. This is why dreams speak about ourselves... They tell us about who we have been, who we are, and who we can become.
Dreams show us what we sometimes hide from ourselves, because of our protective mechanisms. They are true reflections of who we really are deep down. Like clear water, dreams show us the different facets of our deep personality, the good and the bad. So yes… Dreams are very real, and they have a lot of secrets to reveal to us! Secrets, which, used well, can lead us to the highest qualities... To a better version of ourselves...
