what exactly are Dreams? And how come some seem more realistic than others?

Because they are something you fear will happen..or is your conscience trying to tell you something. Dreams are issues you have that have not resolved or things you worry about, or fantasize about but don't have the guts to face or do in real life.

Dreams are manifestations of subconscious mind.\n\nSo obviously you have seeded that thought yourself and it got lost among other things. That is frothing up in the dream. Many people have changed their life because of a dream they had. \n\nIt might be good it might be bad. But atleast they are acting as per those deep seated thoughts.\n\nBut I dont believe in the "God appeared in my dream and told me where to find the hidden temple" kind of cock-n-bull stories...

A Dreamscape is the faux-reality "world" that exists within a dream. Those capable of lucid dreaming claim to be able to control this world and indeed reshape it and its inhabitants. Several psychological studies have been carried out to on how the dreamscape differs from waking perception.\n\nCommonly, Dreamscapes will appear realistic at first, but upon later analysis (usually upon awakening), obvious flaws in the world can be detected. This can be attributed to suspension of disbelief, as most non-lucid dreamers are unable to distinguish the events that occur inside the dream from reality, allowing for a certain measure of unlikely events to occur without the dreamer noticing.\n\nIf the dreamer is able to realise these flaws, they (in theory) can control their dream.\n\nE.G. a dream about being in your room, if you were to notice something that shouldn't be there, you could be able to realise you were in a dream, and be able to control your actions, because it is a dream, you could fly, do somersaults, even travel anywhere, your only limit is your conciousness.

Dreams do not mean anything. Dreams are just your mind experimenting with your thoughts. There are people making a fortune out of mugs who think that having their drems interpreted will be worthwhile, when it isnt.

Sometimes, dreams and nightmares, as I've read in a fairly recent Reader's Digest, is our mind's way of preparing for something. We run the situation in our head, and we try and see what to make of it. For instance, if you've been thinking of that job promotion, you might have a good dream if you're totally up to it, and you'll be rolling in the dough at home, and so on. If you're not too confident, then you might get a nightmare about all of the things that go wrong. In a sense, we use those thoughts that invade our minds as we sleep as a form of preparation. A dream is a desire that we want, a nightmare is the worst case scenario. In either case, we can learn from them - learn what we want, learn what we fear, and learn how to make what we want happen.

I can think of objects in terms of touch, and often do.  And sometimes I dream in scripts, "hearing" the dream as if someone were narrating a movie or even reading from a book.\n\nDreams start out as emotional responses that are translated into the mind's personal symbology.  So if you dream of fear, that may manifest as seeing a gorge as if from a high bridge, or just feeling like someone with a knife has grabbed you.\n\nIf you pay attention to your dreams you may realize that you "see" things that you couldn't possibly see, like someone behind you.

Dreams are how your subconscious mind works out issues.  They don't necessarily have to mean anything, it's just your mind's way of playing out scenarios you would never think of performing.  Don't sweat it...if you're happy with your new beaux, enjoy it.  And enjoy the dreams as well...heck, have a grand old time with both of them IN THE DREAM WORLD ONLY!

Usually dreams are an extension of what you are really feeling.  So maybe you should or make sure that it is something that you want to do.  Think about it for awhile.

Some dreams are not relevant\n\nSome dreams are from related to ur past which is there in ur consious mind or unconsious mind.\n\nSome dreams are from strong thoughts which may not have any relation to the past but later in a stage of ur life u may see ur dream coming into reality atleast to some extent or sometimes even very precisely.

I have very full on dreams.. \nI tell people about them or my partner.. \nI even share them with an on-line blog. \n\nOne dream i will never forgot when i was 18, showed me 10 years of my life.. of course i was sceptic.\nbut i told my friends and partner at the time. \nI watched it unfold over those 10 years and found it surprisingly accurate for a dream.

I hadn't heard that before. If they are then it is your own personal truth. I don't think I do believe this statement. Dreams are the minds way of assisting you to sort throught a puzzle or dilemma or problem. Something you might not have even realised consciously that you were pondering. I am talking about the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind. If a dream is not precognitive ie. a vision of a future event (most dreams are not precognitive), then it is a dramatisation by the mind using expressions, images, words etc that are known to yourself. The mind generates a play if you like and you the sleeper are the only audience. So you are the only one who can recognise the images/expressions used in the play to understand what if any underlying message is there. Knowing this then saying dreams are the invention of truth is quite a sweeping generalisation which in fact, does not really tell you anything at all. Sounds like pretentious rubbish to me.

Dreams are unconscious images which occurs during sleep. Day dreams occur while the person is awake revolving around fantasies. The person day dreaming usually invokes the topic of the fantasy where as in a regular dream you have no control.

"They" say dreaming is a way your brain works things out subconsciously.  If I'm really in a quandry about something and it is stressing me out, I find that I'll either dream about it or dream about something else that gives that same feeling.  Either way, its like a computer defragments I think, getting things orderly.

Dreams are about our unresolved emotions from the conscious state.  The scenes are used to merely outline these emotions.\n\nDriving up hill and falling back...that would indicate you are doing a lot of your challenges and opportunities in life the hard way.  Take a look at your life and see where you could make life less stressful and such an uphill challenge.
