What Research Says About Dreams

Updated: Aug 13, 2022


Dreams are one of life's great mysteries. They're experienced by all of us, but we don't always know what they mean. Even though dreams are universal and you've had them for the entirety of your life, you might be wondering why we dream at all.


Fortunately, there are plenty of theories that can help us understand what our dreams mean and what purpose they serve in our lives. From helping us to uncover hidden desires to allowing us to work through challenges in our lives that we may not have fully recognized when awake, dreams can be incredibly useful tools for understanding ourselves better and gaining a clear perspective on our waking lives. So read on as we explore the wonderful world of dreaming!

In your mind, dreams are an important part of your life. They carry meaning, purpose and value beyond waking life. The more you dream and think about dreaming, the better you feel about yourself. Dreams help guide us through our lives and provide guidance towards our future goals as well as providing a sense of purpose to our existence on this earth.

Dreams have been shown to have many benefits for both physical health as well as psychological health such as reducing stress levels by releasing endorphins which reduce anxiety levels in the body resulting in lower blood pressure while increasing dopamine production which helps improve memory function while making improvements in overall motor skills coordination and decision making abilities when under stressful situations like any type of accident or emergency situation where quick thinking is required before taking action based on what has happened previously such as walking down stairs where someone was injured falling off them causing damage such as broken bones etcetera..


Dreams also play a huge role when it comes down to spiritual health because we can use them as guidance during times when things aren't going right spiritually speaking so we're able to know what direction God wants us to go next without having confusion with all these different voices out there telling us different things when really none of them know where their coming from except maybe God himself but even then who knows because no one really knows why he does anything sometimes...




Through dreams, we can see the future

Dreams are a way for our subconscious to communicate with our conscious mind. They are not always literal, but often symbolic, so it's important to pay attention to the story or message being told in your dream. Dreams can be a way of working through problems and traumatic events that we experience in waking life.

Dreams are also just another way for your brain to process information and make connections between things you might not have thought about before. It's still up to you on whether or not you choose to act upon what you've seen in your dreams (for example: if someone has been telling me about their dreams where I'm marrying them over and over again.. lol).

Dreams are messages from our subconscious

When we dream, it's our subconscious mind that is in control of what happens. It can be a way for us to process emotions or express feelings that we don't normally allow ourselves to feel. For example, if you usually repress your anger and frustration, a dream may help you release these feelings instead of bottling them up inside yourself. Dreams can also be used as a way of relieving stress or anxiety by helping you envision more positive outcomes for situations than the ones presented in real life.

Dreams are messages from our subconscious because they reflect what's going on in our lives at that time. If something has happened recently that has caused some kind of conflict within ourselves (such as being fired from work), then dreams will often reflect this conflict by showing us other people being fired as well—or even worse! On the flip side, if something good did happen recently (like getting hired), then dreams will often show us other people getting hired too (or receiving good news).


Everyone dreams every night


Everyone dreams every night. About 2 hours of your sleep time is spent dreaming, and you might be surprised to know that you dream about 5-6 times a night. Your REM (rapid eye movement) phase of sleep has been linked with dreaming, but there is still much to learn about the nature of these dreams. There are countless theories on the purpose and meaning behind our visions in the night, but at this point there's no conclusive evidence for any one reason why we dream or what those reasons mean for us as individuals or as a species.

People tend to get into some pretty wild situations in their dreams, which can lead them to wake up confused or disoriented. But if you're experiencing something more serious than being unable to recall what happened last night's party—like sleep paralysis or hallucinations—you should seek medical attention immediately!

Dreams cause feelings of

weakness or paralysis sometimes

Dreams can be scary. Dreams can be confusing. Dreams can be embarrassing, or exciting, or funny...or a combination of all of these things!

When we dream, our body is paralyzed and our mind is active—but the dreaming

brain doesn't realize this because it's in a different state of consciousness than when we're awake. In other words: while you're dreaming, your body isn't really paralyzed at all!

It feels like it though; because you're asleep and imagining all of these crazy things happening to your body (like being chased by an angry bear or flying through space), your brain believes these are real experiences happening right

now—so when something happens that makes no sense within whatever story you're telling yourself while sleeping (like having an arm fall off in mid-air), there's no rational explanation for what just happened except that maybe...one of your arms fell off? And if this happens enough times during one dream cycle (which usually lasts about 90 minutes), then over time some people start believing it might actually happen for real...and that's how phobias start forming in some cases!





Dreaming is wonderful!

How often do you remember your dreams?

Dreams are a way to understand yourself. They can tell you what is going on in your subconscious mind, and how it will affect your waking life. Dreams help us figure out our feelings, whether they are positive or negative feelings. Dreams are also a way of understanding the future because they give us images of events that may happen later in our lives. They can also help us understand the past by giving us images from previous lives we have had before this one. We may even see things from junior high school or high school if we were there for an extended period of time!

We all dream every night, and to understand what your dreams mean is an important part of understanding your subconscious feelings toward life.

Dreams are a way of processing our experiences. They help us understand ourselves and what we want in life. Dreams have been proven to be an accurate representation of the subconscious mind and its desires, fears, and worries.

Dreams are a way to process your day-to-day life experiences. If you dream about a problems at work, it can be used as inspiration for solving your real-world problem by using that information during working hours when you're dealing with the issue that's troubling you in your dream state.


If you're like most people, you probably dream every night. Sometimes your dreams are weird, sometimes they make no sense at all, but other times they can be really interesting and even fun. They might even reveal hidden aspects of your personality!

Whatever your dreams mean to you, it's important that we understand ourselves through them as it helps us recognize our feelings toward life."
