Got Weird?

What does it mean when you dreamt of something odd, such as bumping into someone you have never seen before, but were totally gregarious with the person in the dream, or being in a strange location? How about being in one unfamiliar place and return to the same place over and over again a few days later? Does this mean you may want to pay better attention to this kind of dream?

According to coolquiz.com, there are two different interpretations of why we dream, the physiological theory and the psychological theory. "Two underpinning physiological facts go towards supporting this theory of dreams. The first lies in the fact that the first two or so years of ones life, the most formative ones for learning, are also the ones in which the most REM sleep occurs. It follows that during this time of the greatest REM sleep, we experience the greatest number of dreams. The second physiological fact that lends credence to this theory is that our brain waves during REM sleep, as recorded by machines measuring the brain's electrical activity, are almost identical in nature to the brain waves during the hours we spend awake. This is not the case during the other phases of sleep.
Psychological theorists of dreams focus upon our thoughts and emotions, and speculate that dreams deal with immediate concerns in our lives, such as unfinished business from the day, or concerns we are incapable of handling during the course of the day. Dreams can, in fact, teach us things about ourselves that we are unaware of."

Oh well, as long as the unprecedented dreams are beautiful, I do not mind dreaming it repeatedly. Maybe one day when you travel far enough, you may find the place you dreamt of, or even find the person you saw in your dream. Isn't that just enigmatic?

How Do We Know?

We saw it through
Good, Bad, Ugly
We stood strong
But our hearts told us we were wrong
How do we know
When to quit
When to give up
When to throw in the towel
Do we decide with our hearts?
Do we decide with our heads?
How do we know?
How will it all go?
Where will it all go?
How will it end?
As we strive to survive
Know that you will always be
Near and dear to me
And this I want you to know
My love for you will be
More than I'll ever know
