May Dreams Come True

Samuel Taylor Coleridge once wrote, "What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?" Most people when they wake up from a pleasant dream or a horrific nightmare and just think to themselves it was just a dream. But is it really just a dream or is there a deeper meaning? I do not think we dream just to dream, there has to be a secret message that must be decoded the right way. Dreams should be taken as an advantage to learning things about your inner conscious and your personal being. Imagine if we did wake up with an object from one of our dreams, what would we do? Some people would pretend it did not happen because there would be no realistic explanation for it. On the other hand some people, me being one of them, would be fascinated with such an amazing experience and will not be able to wait to go to sleep and dream again to see what else they can bring back with them. Our world as we know it would not be the same. If we can pull out objects from our dreams, imagine the other abilities we can possibly have? I believe that dreams are a way to escape from the real world. You can go anywhere you want or have anything. Dreams have endless possibilities. It is sad how we forget half of our dream in the first few minutes of waking up. So i recommend everyone should have a dream journal to write everything they remember while their dream is still fresh in the mind. you never know, it can be an answer to a question in the future. Dreams are such a fascinating thing to learn about. To know how to interpret them, to me would be life changing because dreams are not straight forward; they have to be examined carefully to fully understand the real meaning. For example dreaming about being naked does not necessarily mean that, it means the person is afraid of being exposed of lying or committing a sin. There are dream dictionary's at library's or anywhere books are sold to help anyone get started on decoding dreams and finding out about your inner-self.
