I do believe in principle that dreams can become reality, but not in the way that you outlined. As far as I know, everything in the universe is made up of energy; are thoughts are no different. I feel that because of this, things we think about tend to manifest in our outside environment. I know that everyone has had crazy coincidences where something happens that they were just thinking about. People tend to think of the term coincidence as meaning a random occurrence of something that relates to something else. I myself tend to think of the word coincidence in the same context as the math term coincide, which means that two things correspond with one another; this means that coincidences are not random at all.
I feel that once you begin to think about something a lot, that thing will show up in your universe in some way, shape, or form. I do not think it will always be exactly the way the you thought about it, but it will show up. As far as I know, none of this can be scientifically proven (or has been), but I personally feel that there is some relation between are thoughts and our reality. With that said, I tend to think of dreams from an anti-Freudian point of view which means I do not believe they should be looked at as having significant meaning. I think Dr.J was right when he brought up the point that our brain functions at a lower level during sleep, and therefore the pieces of each dream are randomly put together. With that said, I do believe that our brain does choose significant thoughts in our lives to be put in dreams, but I just think that the way it organizes the complete dream is random.
The idea that dreams secretly become our desires and needs is a little to Freudian for me. I think people just make up a story that something was in their unconscious when they cannot explain a theory related to Freud’s Idea's. This relates back to the idea that Freudian supporters often will try to make his theories scientific when they absolutely are not. I think Freud brought up many ideas about our unconscious that have been extremely helpful with modern day science, but the use of the unconscious to explain things like dreams appearing in real life is problematic. The main issue with explaining the unconscious mind is that in principle, it is not testable. For that reason, I am not going to say my theory of why dreams appear in real life is better because I cannot prove my theory scientifically either. I just feel that the energy we send out to the universe through our thoughts (which could be in our dreams) tends to come back to use through the experiences that we have in reality.
Do you think that finding meaning in your dreams would make a significant improvement in your life?
