Why do we dream?
Our scientist say that dreams are combination of biological and psychological processes. That when we sleep or brain files away all the dynamic information from the day. The scientist also confesses that they know only a small portion of the information about the brain and how it works. And if dreaming or simply a mechanical process why do we feel that there is a certain mystery involved?
They feel like a message. This is exactly how I felt this morning after waking up from a very complex dream. The dream seemed to be split between two parts. Part one I felt as if I was with a group of people who were moving, and much of the dream dealt with solidifying relationships before people left. The second dream dealt with getting lost by committing to do things I did not have a map for. But it ended with me finding a place as a reference point.
In part one, it started with meeting four or five people in the parking lot getting ready to go drive into town. I remember having my phone with me with the intention to record a podcast about the adventure. I was really comfortable with my friends and much of the events dealt with saying goodbye. In real life, I just moved to a new place in a new city and said goodbye to a lot of friends. So this makes sense. Having a podcast that generates money as a job is a new idea to me.
In part two I was asked to drive a large tow truck for a friend. My friend and my family would be following behind me. I technically knew how to drive the truck but I did not know where I was going. My instructions were to follow the trucks in front of me and be cautious in the woods because the trail gets tricky. Well I followed the trucks into the woods and the trail went from a paved road to what seem to be actually a dirt road through giant trees. Almost as if it was a walking trail for trucks. And quickly through the turns I got lost. At that one spot where I could not follow anyone there was a pull off into an open area outside of the wood-line. It seemed like a quarry of some sort. The people were dressed in a cosmopolitan fashion ranging from fancy dresses to Middle Eastern outfits. My goal was to call dispatch and tell them where I was so that they could give me directions on where to go next. On the building there was a motto that appear to be written in Latin with an English translation underneath. It read something like “to help others”.
If there are messages in my dreams then this is what I take away from them:
Start a podcast of my life journey.
Don’t make commitment without knowing where I’m going.
A good reference point for my life is how I am helping others.
So are our dreams simply some sort of biological process, a mystery of messages to help guide us on our journey, or do we simply seek meaning in the chaos and entropy of this world?
You decide for yourself. For me, today, I feel as if I have been guided.
