I've started recording my dreams. As soon as I'm up and dressed, I head down to my laptop and type out what I remember. I tried doing this once before, so I have a decent dream memory. It's hard though to recall many details from your dreams. This morning there was a face I couldn't place, and words that I knew I had spoke, but I couldn't remember what I said. I had a conversation with somone I love very much, but I don't remember what either of us said.
Why is it that dreams are so hard to remember? Are we not intended to recall what random information our minds give us at night? Is there something in our dreams that would help us out in our lives, a cheat code of sorts, and we are being prevented from knowing it? Is there perhaps a way of changing reality like we change our dreamworld?
I don't think there is such a cheat code, or a way of altering reality. Not like in dreams. And while I grow frustrated with not remembering these fantasies where I can talk to anyone and things work out alright, if not perfect, I enjoy them. Visions like these help me get through the day, they make me feel better. I don't escape to them like some ran from reality to Dungeons and Dragons, but I do enjoy the escape.
Do you believe it is possible to interpret your dreams into useful information in reality? Do you think our minds are sending us messages from the collective unconscious, from God, or from some other source? How would we translate our dreaming into whatever data is hidden inside them? I sometimes feel like there is something I am missing in my dreams. There is always this feeling that while the dream is great, it is missing some...special. Specific. I don't know what it is. Is this feeling possibly a reaction to not understanding? Or is it just my mind's way of telling me that this isn't real, that what is missing is reality?
