Solving the Mystery of Dreams
Mysteries of consciousness like working of memory and process of dreaming (a derivative of memory process) are fundamental unsolved problems in Science. While sleeping every day and night each of us on planet Earth is receiving these cryptic messages. “Someone” is always trying to guide us through our dreams. Science and scientists are still unable to accurately decipher our dreams.

Hippocrates believed that pictorial symbolism in dreams is derived from internal sensation.
Freud viewed dream as a picture puzzle of words and images. He postulated that primary input of the dream originated from the individuals day’s residue.
Carl Jung believed that dreams were messages to ourselves that help deal with present and past dilemmas, resolve inner conflicts and perhaps even try to solve most basic mysteries of life.
J. Allan Hobson dismisses Freud’s dream theory. He believes that dreams are a product of random stimuli originating in the brain stem (random neural firings) and integrated by the forebrain.
Sir Francis Crick provides an alternative to Hobson’s Model. He believes that during sleep we unlearn (Reverse-Learning) and unwire pathways for processing information in brain. By such unwiring brain remains adaptive to environmental contingencies.
Today’s researchers are and need to be interested in great mystery of how dreams originate. So far Science has discovered that dreaming brain is a measurable natural phenomenon. Scientists are trying to reveal underlying brain processes generating dreams. Scientific theories surrounding dreams are inadequate and incomplete. At present no single scientifically adequate neurological theory about dreams is available. Therefore we call dreams and their meanings a “Wonderfully Mysterious Phenomenon”.
- As science has failed then what to do next!
So the world is much more complicated than can be explained by Science. It is only through the supernatural that we can understand the mystery of dreams and their meanings.
Types of the Dreams
To analyze our dreams, it is important to draw a line between different types of dreams. Our dreams have been grouped into three main categories;
Empty Fantasies originate from within and use input from memories and emotional residues of the day’s experiences.
Inspired Dreams are conceived as a result of physical or psychological problems (stimuli) or from unexplained insinuations (satanic or evil inspirations).
True Dreams or Divine Dreams are prophetic voices of future and is a divine gift to the inspired and insightful.
We can say that Sigmund Freud was able to recognize only Empty Fantasies. Carl Jung realized importance of divine dreams but was unable to link dreams with future. J. Allan Hobson discussed only inspired dreams. And no modern researchers even talks about True Dreams category.
True or Divine Dreams
By analyzing True or Divine Dreams one can learn about deep hidden secrets in cryptic messages. Not all but a certain number of dreams are a kind of disclosure of divine information in which people are informed not only about key future events but even about past events which were not understandable at that time. Throughout the ages there have been many reports of dreams of a visionary nature that provide guidance, comfort or "truth" from what appears to be a divine presence. Visionary dreams of a divine nature can be so striking that they change a person’s life, or the course of history.
Prophetic or divine dreams are linked to major disasters, wars, assassinations, accidents, lottery numbers or even with winning horse race. Such dreams have helped solve crimes. In recent history, Abraham Lincoln was said to have dreamt of his own body laying in a coffin two weeks before he his assassination. British engineer, John Dunne dreamt of the eruption of a volcano in France which came true.
One can say that divine dreams can indeed predict or foretell the future!
Language of the Dreams
Symbols are the language of dreams. Dream symbols generally incorporate a feeling (fear, jealousy, love etc.), a note (grandiose ideas, personality orientation, self-images, numbers), a message (insecurities, hidden plans, conspiracies), a warning (natural calamities, wars, accidents, relationship issues) or something unpredictable from your future. In our dreams we see or experience characters, objects, places, feelings, animals, numbers and colours.
