Do you believe in dreams?

---

---

Yes, I believe in dreams but it also depends on the type of dream it is. We have different concepts of dreams, some say that dreams are everything that is in your unconscious mind and while you are sleeping those unconscious things come to your mind and in this way you get to know about those things from your unconscious to your conscious mind.

The other perspective about dreams is that these dreams are related to our food, like the type and amount of food that we eat and when we sleep because of some mechanisms we had bad and good dreams depending on the amount and type of food. It may be a silly one but that's what I have heard most of the time.

The other concept about dreams is that yes dreams become reality depending on the interpretation of the dreams. Like If I have a good dream and I consider it like it's not true and i will have a bad time or something bad will happen to me, so as you have interpreted your dream in this why then it will happen totally opposite and you will have something bad.

My mother says that whenever you have any bad dream just say that it will be good and the total opposite will happen then it will be good. It is also our religious belief and that’s how dreams work.

How often do you have dreams?

---

---

I have dreams often, as I mentioned earlier that dreams are mostly related to our thoughts and things we deal with daily in our lives. I often dream like 4 - 5 times a week. It's just a guess because who remembers when they had a dream and when not. Most of the time I dream when I am stressed or sad and fall asleep. I saw all those things in my dreams. So I think when I am sad or have any difficult situation that's when I dream the most.

That’s obviously not the only time, yes I have beautiful dreams when I am happy but that’s what happened to me mostly.

Do you easily remember what you dream about?

---

---

Well most of the time I don’t even remember if I had dreamed something or not. Sometimes when the whole day passes I suddenly remember my dream. Dreams are actually in our unconscious mind so if I see or if something related to my dream is discussed I suddenly remember that I had a dream about it last night and then I try to remember what it actually was.

My dreams are always incomplete and that is why I barely remember my dreams because they are in small parts which made me crazy when I tried to remember them.

Some of the dreams that I saw mostly in the morning times are the dreams that I remember the most and I remember each and every details about the dream. For me it depends on the time and the length of the dream, if it is something very close to me and something I have some sought of connection in my daily life I remember that dream very easily.

What has been your strangest dream?

---

---

I had many dreams but as I mentioned earlier, the dreams that I have no personal or daily life connections with are very difficult for me to remember. The strange dreams are many but I can barely remember any. But when I was reading the post I suddenly remembered one of them.

About a year ago I had a dream about one of my steemit friends, she lives in Karachi and I had a dream that she had shifted to Peshawar and I met her in my old school. She was there for some admissions and I recognized her, of course she didn’t because she had not seen my face so I went to her and told her about myself and believe me I don’t know how but I was really happy when I saw her and met her. They were shifted to Peshawar and I invited her to my house. I was excited about making a post about her and that she will be near me so we can work more effectively on steemit.
It was strange because we were not very best friends and didn’t have any close interactions at all. And the dream was totally opposite then the reality. And I was thinking the whole day why this dream? What does that mean. But I think that’s how dreams work.

Have you had the same dream several times?

---

---

Yes there are some dreams that come again and again. One of the dreams that I see almost every time my eyes are closed is the falling dream. I think that happened to everyone. I think it has some meaning I read somewhere but I didn’t remember exactly, but whenever I close my eyes I see I am on the top and suddenly fall from the top and then I wake up very afraid.

I also saw my old school most of the time in my dreams, maybe because I miss those days. I most of the time find myself walking in the old school corridor and finding my class and the whole school is empty. I don’t know what is the reason that I saw my school again and again in the same position but yes it is the dream that I have that repeats exactly the same every time.
