Weekend Single Freewrite Prompt: Dream

How many of you remember your dreams from the night? I could remember some but not all.

I hope I remember some of my facts correctly. During our REM sleep, which is the period of deep sleep, we tend to dream because our brains get active during this phase. If anyone wakes us up in this phase, we may wake up with a daze.

Sometimes a dream may reflect our current emotional state. When we are stressed, we tend to get bad dreams or even nightmares. Sometimes, we may dream of desires of our soul too. Sometimes when we dream, we may not be totally unconscious too as we can still hear voices from the reality.

I have had some weirdest dreams before. I remember one of my youngest dream when I was having a fever of something chasing me. I was screaming and panicking in the dream and so was I for real. My mom was trying to calm me down and reduce my body temperature. I could hear her voice of comfort even in my sleep.

Another time, I realize I could exercise my authority in my dream too. Again there was something chasing after me and I ran and ran. I could feel the fear and cold sweat on me. The feeling was powerless. Suddenly I decided. I turned around and pointed at it, "You stop now in Jesus's name! " That "thing" fled immediately. It was very interesting.

Often we may find our dreams being very ridiculous. But I take it that if I can remember a dream, it could be a message because I believe God speaks through dream language. Perhaps we are too occupied in the day that only in the quietness of nights, He can speak. From what I learnt, dreams are first and foremost for the dreamer, even if we see others in the dream. Secondly, it is usually symbolical and rarely literal. For example if you see a respected figure in your dream, it may not mean that person will come and see you. It may mean God or somebody else. If you see yourself getting married to same gender and you aren't a homosexual, it is not telling you to change your interest but rather it signifies partnership with this person. Thirdly, interpretations may take time to sit in, so don't rush into any conclusions from just your soul. Keep a dream journal to write down your dreams before they are forgotten. Fourthly, test your feelings towards the dreams. Is it good or bad? How do you feel about this person you see in your dream?

Last but not least, I used to have younger friends came to tell me who they dreamt of and who they think they are marrying. Hahaha. Well, I see them marrying totally different people now so perhaps the dreams aren't literal. Of course you may try it out on the person featured. Let's just hope you don't scare the person away, hahaha!

An extra two minutes added, sorry! It's one of my passionate topics though I don't have all the answers to it!
