i have wonder how does our dreams of our future dictate to us of what we will be. i am not talking of dreams like what we want to be and all. i mean how do our dreams we have each and everynite tells us of what kind of person we are.

based on the things that go on in our lives, our dreams have ways of telling us what is going on subconciously that we are unaware of, then as we interpet them, we have the power to change that which occurs in our life. a good website to visit that i like to go to is

http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

dreams in a sense prepare and guide you for what you will be living or encountering

i know that feeling. but it seems that most of my dreams as of late have all been of things that i really dont like. i mean i am not the type that sits up at nite and freak out of a nitemare no thats just not me. but it seems as of late i am getting more and more perturbed by it and i just can get it out of my head it seems.

For the most part my dreams never make sense. I just hope none of my mine ever dictate who, what, I am or my future as to where it's headed.

the mind is something we as humans only understand less then 10% of

our dreams are options, path open to us.

yes that is true. but is that enough to help us chose. with path is the right one.

i think dreams dont dictate ur future they are just what our sub consiouse is saying our everyday choices dictate our future i dont believe in destiny but i do believe in fate we all are fated to die some day so i am juast trying to stay alive as long as my body can sustain my soul lol

I don't think dreams show us our future, but only possible outcomes. It is the paths we choose that leads to the future.

It all depends upon the dream. Each type of dream has diffrent meanings. In order to understand dreams you would have to studie the diffrent meaning of each symbol in your dream. Some dictate how your life may be and o thers may dictate how your life is now..You have to really understand about dreams to understand what it means..that is why i have friends that help me when I have dreams I don't understand..Asking people about them is the best way to learn..

Some dreams yes.....Some no.. Most having meanings though.

It's possible or they could tell us what we'll become if we don't change how our lives are now..

Nah. Dreams are an escape from reality and are either a culmination of stress or happiness. I don't think they hold any sort of mystical powers at all. They are just dreams...something our body does when it sleeps...that's all.

I have never thouht of it in that way. But i have heard that dreams are who we were in a past life. Or that dreams are sumtimes memories of our last life. In sum cases i believe that. In this case i dont believe that dreams will determine who we will b later one in life. Honestly i am very interested in dreams. I have a dream interpeter which i read every night to recall what my dreams mean. And i think that dreams are a big part of our self concious mind

I believe that dreams are a brutal reminder of who I am and what I have done in my life. I think that we can learn to deal with who we are in life. Over time we can't remember things and we forget how we felt at times be it good or bad. Dreams never let us forget who we are. Sometimes I will wake from a dream experiencing feelings that I can no longer feel when I am awake.

i hope not cause i have alot of dreams that are of violence and murder.

Even tho my dream are not always the most comforting, I do believe they can tell us many things. Such as what you suggested, and maybe even our past.

But I also believe you can inherit dreams from your parents.

(:

well dreams could also be past lives once lived im thinking or just random thoughts as you sleep.

The mind is a vast and powerful thing and if we could truly tap into it and use it like we should we could accomplish amazing things.

If you have a recurring dream I have found in my experience a message is been sent to you that your not understanding or grasping.

Also in our dreams we spend time in the astral with our higher self and guides, where they impart knowledge to you to remember at a later date or for an upcoming event. Sometimes its to remind you of something you did in a past life that you are beginning to repeat again.

You should always try to write down your dreams so you can go back later to find hidden messages that you didn't see or understand straightaway.

I don't think that we are necessarily seeing our futures, I think our dreams are a product of our subn concious minds, so every thing that we were worried about kind of just becomes a dream.

I do not believe that the dreams we have are actually telling our possible futures, but they are there to give us possibilities of what is to come and what we need to deal with in the conscious realm

I think dreams are more about the now rather than the present or past, they deal with situations and emotions you are experiencing at the moment and if you can interpret them well - guides you to understanding yourself better.

personaly dreams are what we make of them.

I dream for different reasons I think, some are interpretive of past events, some are just me imagining things, often quite bizarre. I once dreamed I married my coven master he he
I often also experience other people in my dreams - reflecting how they are feeling and messages they are sending me. However, many of the best dreams I forget almost as soon as I wake - I only know they were good from the residual feeling inside me. Sometimes it is a feeling of deep loss, which is a strange start to the day.

dreams may beable to give u some insite on whats to happen. But i dont think your dreams tell you who you are. I mean you cant control your dreams they happen they can come from memories to imagination. It depends on how u look at it

I do not think dreams can tell you what, kind of person you'll be, dreams are so jumbled that you would not be able to tell if you are dreaming about what will happen or what you want to happen...

I do not think our dreams tell us much about our future to come and wot kind of person we are going to be, you choose who you are going to be wot you are going to be like, it is the choice we make each and every day that lead us to our future the path's that we all choose to walk along.

its possible that they will tell you how things in the future may turn out but i think dreams are more short term, like on a what are you going through this week or month, not like like where you will be in 5 or 10 years...

My thought... is that dreams don't necessicarily show who we will be, but a way of becoming better. Dreams help me to cope with the things that are just too much for my waking hours.... At least some of the time....

I believe it is possible they can. Sometimes they will give you a glimpse in to the future and it's all in how you interpret it as to how you may act in a future situation. Or what you may do. Sometime the dream will tell you exactly what is going to happen, what you're going to do and say...which is de ja vue. Other than that, all dreams are up to interpretation by the dreamer and it's your future choices that will make the final decision.

i never saw dreams as something that would give us insight on the next life. maybe from past lives, or present issues in ur subconscious. even maybe premonitions from the future of this life. but i never thought it extended past this life. I guess i don't see why it couldn't.

Our dreams tell us many things, I actually did a study back in high school on Dream Interptitation. (can't spell) It's amazing what your dreams will message to you

I think all dreams have some kind of meaning and they are more of what or who we are today than the future

Some dreams stem from our innermost being ie.: who we are inside, our nature, our fears our loves, our hates, etc. etc. The dreams stem from us so sin a sense we already are aware of who we are and what we will be. In our wake state we are educated and strive for a goal to become something we want to be, something that we like to do (again what our nature feels driven to) Some people are driven against their grain by their parents to become "Someone" they are not and have no real interest in....but the "Money is Good" and they can not put 100% into it and just surf on through. Some people haven't a clue as to what they want to be in life...does that mean they don't dream ??? No it simply means that they ARE dreamers and see life from a different perspective and follow their feelings around life...if ya get my drift......

Yes they can and to give you a decision on which path you ccan take , and some dreams could be past life experiences .

I beleive dreams have meanings and may be relevant to life but i dont think they tell us what are future is.. ive had a lot of dream that hhave been about things that have already happened

I seriously doubt my dreams have
anything to do with who I will become
unless I choose to make them come
to fruition. And even if I did, most parts
of them are impossible to recreate.
If you don't believe me, read my 'stories'
section of my journals...but beware...

Otherwise, I might have a very rough
future ahead of me since I have had
dreams of being tied up and raped since
I was six years old...Not something that
has happened, nor is it something I
would like if I wasn't knowing the
several men involved and agreeing to
it beforehand...if you get my drift.

I like whips and chains, but don't rape me!
No female likes the actuality of that.
Notice I said the 'actuality'...I do like the
pretend version very much...lol.

I believe our dreams are what our spirits have already lived through, or in some cases for the people that have the gift of foresight they might be able to tell that person something or part of something that is to come in the future

I think dreams can kind of work like a sort of "subliminal messaging."

I have never had a dream that told me the kind of person I was going to be later in life. I have had dreams that were premintions though. I learned to listen to those!

i've never had a dream tell me of what type of job or whatever that i'd do in the future; and then again, i don't spend my time using my dreams for that.

original post: I that was the case I would have telekinetic powers and microvision...

Nah, I don't think so though. You make your own fate IMO. Dreams are a reflection of emotion you take with you to sleep, again IMO

There are dreams that can act like premonitions, but like someone said, every night dreams interperate how the subconscious feels.

I don't think it does tell us what kind of person we are or will be. It's random.

I had a dream, i was in a cavern temple, a man was looking in a book.he says" you will sence feelings in a circle."(this is the terms he used or close to it. Not too long after that, i started to sence others feelings, pain, emotions, head aches in me. i take on thier pysical sensations. It helps when i us it to energy heal, others.

Well, speaking from experience, I have had many dreams about things actually happened my whole life. Many including my father or people I have a connection with. I dont know if this is the best example, but this is the one that started it all- I had a dream that I was on the curved part of the staircase, hunched down, crying, with a black shadow loaming over me with my father's, threating to kill me. And the whole time, I heard an ice cream truck in the background.
About three months after that dream ((which reaccured about three more times after the first one)) I spent money buying ice cream that i shouldn't have ((I was eight, Ice cream was GOD then)) and my dad had hit me on the stairs, in the same spot in my dream and screamed that he brought me into this world, he'll take me out and....it scared the hell out of me when I remembered the dream. Its happened about 10 times my whole life...

But then again, my dad scares the hell out of me.....haha.

Dreams can be anything.

From fears being manifastated to desires.

Sometimes about something that is going to happen,sometimes to show us what we really are,showng us aspects of ourselves that normally we hide and don't admit even with ourselves,sometimes of what we're going to go through and how we're going to face it or should to.

Well, the dream dictates the future by the suggestions wich the mind makes dreaming, or waking.

It is enough for a mind to recieve a impressive picture, and there you go, suggested.

You gunna be suggested, and you gunna do it motivated by the suggestion, and you are what you do.

We could say that that is your future.

Exmpl, I dream of blondes, screwing them, and next day, I gotta go and screw my best friend, cuz such a picture is in my brain, askin to be fullfilled, like, damn impressed.

I hate strong suggestions.

They make you decide your future in a non quality way.

So I am trying to cultivate my mind so I can have less disturbing dreams.

eek - i hope not! the other night i dreamed i was crushed to death in a horrific accident, and afterwards my ghost was trying to point out to people where my body was, but they couldn't see it, coz it was squashed between two walls.

i believe our dreams show us what may come if we contiue down whatever path we have. I think it also gives us details about who we can be or will be in the future in hopes we choose the right path.

many of the dreams we have predict who we will be. This is because it shows our deepest, innermost feelings, so much that we don't even know about them yet. However, they would show themselves in time. most dreams are very prophetic.

I believe that our dreams can and do tell us of not only our future, but our distant past as well as give us clues and insight as to how to handle our present. We just need to pay attention.

I think so .. when i was a Kid i had a Dream of running into a Burning building cause my children were thought to have been in there and i had to save my kids ... I now being a Mother would give my life for my children so perhaps that dream was telling me i would be a Excellent mother or atleast a Caring and Loving one .. i dont think anyone is excellent but know we do all strive to be .. I dont know anyone who is perfect..

yes i belive it can. But dreams are very complicated and you cant really base a life on a dream.

if our dreams tell us what kind we are in the future then i am a person who cheats on is husband and that isnt me so i dont think so

I can tell you all from personal experience that things I have dreamed of in the past have happened later in waking life. This is beyond that Deja-Vu feeling, it's outright creepy. Especially when you know what people are going to say, verbatim, before they even speak to you. :o

Happened more in my teenage years and not so much these days. Though I do get a healthy dose or two now and again. :)

I'm like that too. :) A lot of the times, my dreams have come to pass. And it IS very weird in a creepy way. I think..."Haven't I already done this before?"

I also get little flashes in my waking life of things that are about to happen. Which is even scarier. Like a car pulling over and a bunch of men asking if I wanted a ride home. I had thought of it TWO MINUTES before it happened. i begged my friends to walk me home, but they felt, I would be alright. Jerks.

I do not believe that a person can see what kind of person they will be later in life, usually dreams are subconscious wishes, and even if a dream may seem bad it might be a good dream that is why a person would have to have their dreams analyzed by a professional to understand what they really mean...

My dreams are always set back about 10 years for me.

They are just a replaying of your memories. Because of this, our dreams are only telling us what kind of person we once were.

Dreams are a very abstract and surreal visualization of where we are and where we have been. Rarely for most there maybe a random look at the future, but even that may be a coincidental product of what is going on within our lives that actually comes to pass.

I dont think my dreams show or dictate anything about my future. Most of mine are in the past or make no sense whatsoever. Some of the dreams I have better not dictate my future or I am in deep crap lol. I have nightmares constantly. Have had them since I was a child. Now and then I have a good one or just a weird one, but for the most part they are nightmares.

Well, if dreams tell you of your future, then someday soon, Christ will be reborn and I will be the one to kill him.
Not something I would be to particularly joyed to be involved in.

I've had a few dreams that had come to pass, always recognized during the actual happening.

i do not think that our dreams tell us ...i think they come to make us wonder lol

I think that dreams are escapes that we take from reality. But then why is there deja vu?

My dreams don't tell me anything. Most of my dreams are largely nonsensical, and if that is supposed to tell me something, I think I need a decoding book.

Im not gonna say thet dont mean anything, I am studying the necromancer and have really weird dreams. I can't say this makes me wierd, because I already know that. But as far as dreams go, im not to sure they tell us our future.

if our dreams really do tell us....
then what is it when we dont dream
hope that makes sence

I think our dreams all have some kind of meaning, whether or not we fully understand what their meaning is at the time. However, I do not necessarily think that they determine who we are, or what we do with our life.

i think that the dreams we have are all just stuff that we think about and sometimes dreams do come true

Dreams do give clues to our future or things we could have done better in the past. I always heed my dreams because of this.

dreams warn you about what will happen in the future. Some of them can be stopped ans some cant, but i dont think it tells of what we are or will be in the future.

I think our dreams all have some kind of meaning,but i dont no what yet.. i have evil and happy dreams so who really no's..

It is scientifically proven that we dream every night and though me may not remember it, we dream of, or the dream is related to, the very last thing we are thinking of before we fall asleep. So what do your thoughts before sleep tell you of yourself?

according to science peole can have all kinds of thoughts before they fall asleep, but that doesn't reflect what type of person they are, does it? I hope not.

..I think dreams not only tell us about ourselves somewhat, but they sometimes can serve as a warning for ourselves or others. Thoughts that are hidden so deep in our minds that we can't reach them in our normal concious state is probably what influences our dreams.

Hmmmm, i beleive dreams are more for making you wake up with a different outlook/approach to whats going on. So i guess in a sense it could change your future and who you are. But not extremely..

I think it would be quite possible for your dreams to try and work out a subconcious change you are going through by showing you different varying outcomes of that change. If you are going through something (such as a midlife crisis for example) you may have different dreams in which you see different outcomes of that crisis.

I don't know, just a possibility.

I think dreams are differnt for everyone. Mine, for instance are just all my thoughts and feelings clustered together. Some people may be able to see the future, some can see past lives. I think everyone is different.

Dreams are just a sub conscience view of ourselves so anything they have would show you what you either could be or are thinking of doing

I'm of the opinion that our dreams don't dictate jack. Who we are and who we become is a result of a combination of factors:

Strength of will
Strength of character
Life experience
Core beliefs
... and just a little plain luck

Dreams are a gateway into our soul. They can tell you many things.

I think that are dreams are made from our imagination and sometimes we can have preminisions.

I believe dreams are our mind relaying back to things that have happend in the previous day our in our life. Sort of our imagination procressing our life in our dreams..srry if that makes no sense

I hope not

I think dreams for the most part are just that dreams they are our sub conscience replaying all the events of the day mixed with so many other things but then there are those that do give us hints of things to come and it is then a blue print of sorts that lets you decide what you want to do

Dreams are our subconscious working out things we may not be able to deal with in our waking hours. Of course sometimes its just crazy, random nonsense running across the movie screen of our eyelids. I don't believe they tell us anything we don't already know. It's whether or not we've accepted or acknowledged that part of ourselves.

know that feeling

I think dreams are a jumbled mixed up picture of all the thoughts running through you head

to answer the question i believe yes they can...

Dream are a way of life its self. they help us in ways that no one think of. We can live a life that can not be lived outside of a dream.

Interesting.

I hope that our dreams dont show or give us an example of what our future is gonna be like...cause if thats the case...

IM FUCKED!

well many people have different opionjs on what dreams are for and why we have them wiccans say they tel the past and future scientist say in clynical studys that dreams are caused by a series of things you watch or see that influence you in a big way that are cause by the improper ballance of indorphones in the brain but i guess we will never no the real reason

I believe that dreams if interpreted correctly tell us about something that is going on in our lives...at least most of them ;)

wow interesting

My night dreams are very much influenced from my past.....I'm not too sure that they are foretelling my future...My in-site to my future usually come in an awake state.
