Tap into the powers of your unconscious that wakes up when you sleep.
Everyone needs sleep, but its biological purpose remains a mystery. Sleep affects almost every system in the body – from the brain, heart, and lungs to metabolism, immune function, mood, and disease resistance. Research shows that a chronic lack of sleep, or getting poor quality sleep, increases the risk of disorders including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity.
Sleep is a complex and dynamic process that affects how you function in ways scientists are now beginning to understand. The most intriguing aspect of the sleep is dreaming. Many scientists believe that our brain is more active during our sleep than when we are awake. Why we sleep and what happens during the hours when we are asleep is still a hotbed of research. Some dismiss dreams as meaningless chatter of our brain while some experts agree on the facts that dreams bring objectivity to everyday experience and are pretty transparent.
Dreams aren't that hard to get; what's hard is to analyze them for insights and act on them. In addition to providing insights, dreams may also serve as warnings, putting you in touch with something you're not consciously aware of. One of the cited examples is of a psychologist who paid attention to his dreams that warned of illness, went to the doctor and learned he was in the early stages of cancer. Interestingly, dreams can be prophetic too and there are many cited examples of them around the world. Majority of us never try to decode our dreams and that is a missed opportunity to enrich your life.

Get Your Dream Analyzed
We All Dream
We go through each sleep-cycle multiple times during the night till the time we wake up. Depending upon the sleep-cycle you were in when you woke up you may feel rested, fog- headed, dazed and confused or another mood. By some estimates, babies spend 50% or more of their sleep in REM stage as compared to about 20% for adults. Are they dreaming of their past lives or their future? You may get intense dreams as this is also the stage when your brain is most active.
Dreams can be entertaining, disturbing, or downright bizarre. We all dream -- even if we don't remember it the next day. But why do we dream? And what do dreams mean, anyway?
What Do Dreams Mean, Anyway?
Although many folks claim, and some actually do, to have the ability to interpret dreams; dream interpretation is actually a very serious topic as part of the subject of Psychology. Sigmund Freud believed dreams are a window into our subconscious. His book – Interpretation of Dreams – is part of college curriculum. Similarly, Carl G Jung wrote many books about how the dreams are the connection between our conscious and unconscious self. His book – Man and his Symbols – is also part of college curriculum. Apart from these two masters you will find abundance of material authored and published by renowned researchers around the world.
Similar to almost all other fields of study, you will find that someone with no educational background in psychology or dream interpretation is really good at it.
Dreams Can Tap Your Potential
Did you know that dreams have led to many inventions and discoveries?
“While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing.” – Srinivas Ramanujan (1887 – 1920)
The three broad categories of dreams
Prophetic Dreams
Prophetic dreams contain spiritual messages about your future and the goal of these dreams is to prepare you to face your future effectively.Dreams manifest your thoughts and incidents occurring in your awake life. When you are in a peaceful state and lead a spiritually aligned life then the same will be reflected in your dreams. Prophetic dreams come under the broad classification of Spiritual dreams. How can you confirm whether your dream is prophetic or not, is only when the dream comes true.
Directional Dreams
Directional dreams are messages from your subconscious mind that guide you to make necessary life altering changes in the way you live or approach situations in your real life.Many a times, dreams have specific meaning or message that your subconscious mind is prompting you. You may have to pay closer attention to the details of the dream, although every dream is related to your awake life, some dreams have a specific purpose. A directional dream should be considered as a tool that points you in the right direction, often times in dreams like these, your subconscious mind has mysteriously solved the problem that you are struggling with in your daily life and when analysed carefully, the dream is helping you with the best approach to whatever the crisis you are dealing with in your awake life.
Situational Dreams
Situational dreams carries a deeper message given by the subconscious mind which are meant for your growth either in work or in a relationship.Every dream theme can be broadly categorized into a situational dream. Dreams as we know always carry a deeper message, a warning or a solution to situations related in your awake life. Consider you are flying your dream, it may definitely imply that you are happy about the situations in your awake life. However, it may also mean that there is some block to achieve that happiness and how to unblock is what your situational dream is conveying. For example let's consider you are waiting on a promotion at work which has not occurred for sometime and the reasons are laid in front of you. But if you dream that you are flying, then you have to analyse carefully the dream that might be imparting a crucial knowledge on how to pull off the same.
