Why do we dream of what we do?


This article I am writing is not about what we consciously dream of but of what our subconscious speaks to us through our dreams.

We speak different things to different people. To some people we speak our minds but to most we apply a filter and speak out only those things that are appropriate and those that would not create any confusion or problem. But deep beneath, not actually that deep. Just take away the filter or simply get a lil drunk, when the filter will vanish and what comes out will only be what we mean.
It is not uncommon to hear people speak about philosophy or about people who really love when they are drunk. Both these aren't acceptable to be spoken straight forward per the so called 'Societal norms' as people just cannot accept reality and pure love.

Well as usual I have deviated from my topic. But, the last para kinda sets the context for the topic of this write up which is 'what do we dream of? or what does the subconscious speak to us?

It is really interesting to note the kinda stuff we dream about. I can vouch for a fact that all that we dream about are things that we thought about at some point in time or the other but for the damned 'societal norms' or for the heck of being in the good books of others kept it to ourselves.

All these societal norms and other fallacies like that apply only to the world outside. The world inside is simple, beautiful and true. The subconscious speaks to the mind about things that it thought but did not let out or experience for some reason or the other.

Our dreams can vary from a scary experience like seeing a loved one dead to a beautiful experience like dating the hottest chic on the ramp to an indulging one like flying in a personal aero plane above the Alps. Such is the audacity of the sub-conscious. It doesn't care about how you feel on being communicated through a dream about something that you can cannot accept that easily. It just let's out things that are put in.

You put anything in your mind, it comes out through some form or other other. And, if it doesn't come out, it remains there troubling you for a life time. In my next article or probably some other article I will cover more about two more philosophical & psychological topics that were briefly hinted through the course of this write up. They are :

1. 'What goes in come out' and it's universal applicability.
2. 'The world is scared to accept things as they are.


Have a good sunday!
