Swimming in a sea of questions

Its been a long time since the first post gleefully poured onto this blog. So here’s another to keep the existing ones from getting too lonely.

I’ve decided to list out some topics related to dreaming that are pretty interesting. Im sure you’ll find a bunch of weird things in this list and spend some time thinking and wondering about them.

The internets a big place and there already is a ton of information related to these thoughts, but I’ll save you the trouble of chopping your way through the weeds of information and cover some (if not all) of these topics in the coming months.

1) Why Do we Dream?

Is there anything more to those crazy things that we do in our dreams? Why do we dream of giant Pink Cows that can fly? or of fighting vampires and wervolves, while armed with a giant fork and spoon.

Isn’t it reassuring that even the smartest person in the world, while dreaming, could be convinced that the sun is a giant tasty orange floating in the sky?

So let’s look at some of the theories of why we Dream and what those dreams might mean.

2) Lucid Dreaming?

Lucid Dreaming refers to the state of dreaming in which you are aware of the fact that you are in a dream.

So you can do whatever you feel like, since you know that you are inside your dream and that the real you is snoozing away in that cozy bed somewhere outside the dream world.

This is one of the most interesting things about dreaming and it gives you unlimited freedom if you can master the art of being able to become lucid in your dream.
There are a lot of techniques and things that you can learn and practice. Its not that hard, and with some time and effort you can step into this kick ass world of lucid dreaming.

3) Dream Incubation

Did you ever go on a diet and wish that you could spend your nights eating chocolate cake and ice cream in your dreams?
Dream incubation tries to help you out with your pigging our fantasies.

This refers to the technique of making yourself dream about certain topics that you decide about before hand. Its like writing down what you want to dream about tonight and then actually dreaming about the very same thing.

I haven’t had much luck with this, but I’m sure there must be some research done about this on the net, and people would have come up with some good techniques to try.


Those were some of the bigger topics, other questions to think about are,

4. Can dreams extend time? Is 5 mins in the dream world equal to 5 mins in real world time?

5. Astral Projection vs Lucid Dreaming ? Are these the same or are they different things entirely?

6. Does Lucid Dreaming take up more energy? When we lucid Dream do we wake up refreshed or feel like we haven’t been sleeping at all?


7. Do we dream in full colour? Do people dream in black and white or some other shades of colours?

8. Can too people meet each other in their dreams and then find out that they both had the same dream last night, and that they really were together in the same dream? Is this concept of shared dreaming really possible?

9. What is sleep Paralysis? And why does this weird thing happen to some people? and why its perfectly normal to be in this state


10. What happens to me if I die in my dream? Does it affect me in real life?

11. Are people capable of seeing the future in their dreams? Are dreams some kind of time machine by which we could tap into the future of our selves and sometimes see visions of future events not yet realized?


12. How can we use our dreams to solve our problems? Can we creatively solve problems and does dreaming tap into our powerfull subconscious minds?

13. Can we tap some mysterious intelligence of the universe when we dream?


14. Can we have Déjà vu in dream? Do we have a separate memory in our brains , that remember all the places that we have gone to in our dreams and we remember these places if we visit them again in our dreams?

15. Can we get stuck inside our dreams and never get out?


16. Is it possible to dream of past lives and can dreaming be a form of past life regression?

17. Can dreams be used to get rid of phobias or to learn new things? Does learning a skill in a dream also make us better at that skill in real life?


18. What effect do drugs and substances have on our dreams? What can we do to have better dreams?


I guess you now realize that there is a lot more to dreams than we thought there was, and even though this is a simple thing that we all have in common, there are so many different aspects of it that haven’t been fully understood and studied about yet.

So Until next time,

Happy Dreaming!
