No one has ever seen himself or herself in its dreams. Why? Because actually you live a different life in your dreams. A life that has no limitations of creativity or restrictions of being realistic. You live the way you want to live. You actually create your dream, manipulate and structure. It’s systematic approach, like a PowerPoint presentation.
Dreams actually define your thoughts, your fear, and your desire. Your most terrifying thoughts appear in dreams. Some even claim to have good dreams, though most of them are liars.
Not all dreams are to be achieved. Some are to be left alone as dreams only, rather bad dreams.
I remember a superstition about dreams. If you share your dream with anyone, then you won’t be able to achieve it. As expected. Once this forecast was out, everyone started sharing only bad dreams.
Sometimes you want to see dreams of your wish. Quite possible. Just think about the same while sleeping. Most likely, it would appear in your dreams with a number of options and solutions of problems.
My friend always wanted to explore jungle safari. And he would see that more than often in his dream. One day, a rattlesnake ran after him in his dreams and he could not find any place to hide. All his close friends, that he approached in his dream, refused to entertain him. That was the last time he decided to explore jungle safari.
My another friend always explored counting money in his dreams. Obsession. Then, one day he was robbed in his dream. Since then he always looked worried. Incidentally, one day in broad daylight he was practically robbed of his purse and laptop. The dream came true. That was the last time he counted the demonatized currency. His all the currency of 500 and 1000 was stolen.
There is also an interesting story about a female colleague of mine. She saw in her dream that her boss, who was also a female, peeps into her papers and laptop in her absence. From the very next day she started keeping her papers and laptop in locked drawers. She was so terrified that she would not leave her chair more often. Then one day she forgot her laptop on the desk and went he. Next day she could not find her laptop. She searched everywhere but could not find. Finally she went to her boss and informed her. She smiled and took out the laptop from her locked drawer - “ did you sleep properly yesterday night. You left your laptop on the table and I kept it. You generally don’t leave your laptop on table. Good habit.”
She never saw that dream again.
I am amongst the few fortunate or unfortunate ones who don’t sleep more than 4-5 hours. So I don’t get into dreams. Dreams for me only mean that I slept properly. Perhaps dreams also know that my mind is too occupied and there is no place for them as of now.
