Why dream contents matters?

In my opinion all we should pay attention to dreams content. If you think about it, when we sleep we are not affected by day-to-day worrying what allows our subconscious to explore deep inside about what is really important to us. Perhaps we have a busy life focusing too much on work or daily activities that in reality we don´t really like that much. On the other hand, maybe we dream pretty much every night that we are out with friends having fun and socializing. It could be also that we dream that we travel or we live in a different country , doing different things that we do nowadays.

Brain activity while dreaming

If we are in that situation we should pay attention to this. At the end, by dreaming, our brain as no restrictions to focus in what really matter to us and does his magic. By dreaming we are capable of doing anything as there are no restrictions based on personal circumstances or other external factors.

Keeping a diary

If you are familiar with above explained and you dream about things that are completely different that you do in your normal life, I would suggest you to maintain a dream contents diary. Most likely you will see that most of the time your dream contents are the same again and again. This is your brain telling you “this is what I actually care about“.

Conclussion

So what´s the meaning of this? Should we actually listen our dreams at all times and take real life actions based on that? Well, yes and not. This should be used as a tool to understand what really matter us deep inside. We should focus not only in the dream contents but more important how we do feel during the dream. Maybe we dream about a job we used to have, but we feel anxious about it. I would say that this points that is good that we don´t have that job anymore. On the contrary, we might dream about a person that we had problems with. During the dream , we feel happy that we see that person. This points that maybe we should try restoring friendship with that person.
