"There is a strong movement in the research community to research how sleep improves memory and learning," Scammell says. Tom Scammell, MD, associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says no one knows why we dream.
Before we dismiss our dream lover, our dream home or our dream job as unattainable - 'only a dream' - we want to examine carefully whether there are clues in the dream that could help us to manifest that juicy vision."Įveryone dreams every night - even if we don't remember our dreams. In his book The Three "Only" Things: Tapping the Power of Dreams, Coincidence, and Imagination, Robert Moss writes, "Dreams are open vistas of possibility that take us beyond our everyday self-limiting beliefs and behaviors.
But some offer rich, symbolic expressions - an interface between the conscious and the unconscious that can fill in the gaps of our self-knowledge and provide information and insight. Many dreams simply come from a preoccupation with the day's activities. And Carl Jung believed that dreams provide messages about "lost" or "neglected" parts of our selves that need to be reintegrated. Sigmund Freud's theory was that your dreams are an expression of what you're repressing during the time you are awake. But dreams are actually much more than that. On the most basic level, a dream is the experience you have of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations while you sleep. Human beings dream, and so do, scientists believe, most mammals and some birds. Since you have been living through a kitchen remodeling - with its attendant financial stresses and upheavals - this dream echoes and amplifies what's going on in your waking life. Now if you plugged the dream into an online dream analyzer, such as you might find at, you'd learn that a purse is a symbol for wealth and resources, a hotel represents transition, and a river connotes emotion. When you awaken, you're filled with a sense of panic. Your purse is floating on the river, but you can't reach it. As you anxiously search for it, a fast-moving river appears out of nowhere, bisecting the room. When it's time to go, you look for your purse, but it's gone. You're all having a good time eating dinner, dancing, and talking. You're at a black-tie gala in a fancy hotel banquet room with lots of other people.
