Day 5 — Your dreams

Damn, I don't care about posting letters daily anymore. :C

Dreams have a great significance to me. Whilst I can't always remember or interpret my dreams, I pay as much attention as I can to them.

Dreams are manifestations of our subconscious, a part of us that sleeps passively, but yet contains truths, whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. Often, illness or unhappiness arises from not paying attention to this part of mind.

Dreams act as mirrors of reality, ourselves analysing what has past. At the same time, the imagination explores the other possibilities that could have happened, picks out and emphasises important details we often miss. As a result, dreams do not appear to make sense on face value. Much of the messages remain coded.

For example, you walk across a blank piece of paper while dreaming of your school routine. Normally, in reality, such a thing wouldn't really matter. In my case, I soon realized it was a concern about getting in a sick note I had forgotten for a while.

For the most part, my dreams aren't entirely that remarkable, I find that most of my dreams often carry messages of concern. It might be just that expressing these worries as dreams provides an outlet for stress, help keeping our mind in balance.
