"Dreams have been a riddle to us since Adam first breathed life. The stuff of legends, myth and fairy tale, dreams have always transfixed mankind," says astrologist and dream representative, Michael Thiessen of Dream Central. "Dreams are a communication of body, mind and spirit in a emblematic communicative environmental state of being. Our brains are in constant activity. diverse states of consciousness (like awake, asleep, alert, drowsy, excited, bored, concentrating or daydreaming) cause different brain wave activity. Our conscious mind, or the part we think with, only takes up a very small component of our brain activity. Other areas control things like breathing, heartbeat, converting light to vision, sound to hearing and balance when we walk. Another area controls imagination. And then there is the activity called dreaming. I think that to a certain extent, we dream all the time. Even while awake! But the process is functioning in our subconscious mind. If defined precisely, they may not be referred to as dreams technically, but the activity is very closely related. During certain cycles of brain activity while asleep, we can 'view' these dreams with our conscious mind and record them in our memory. This is why we sometimes recollect them. Your brain mind and spirit, while at rest review and analysis in its own way long term, short term and spirit memory. It kicks around emotions, thoughts, ideas, actions and interactions of the short term memory. All this data is a form of chaos, and your mind puts it all together in a form of visual 'screenplay', a medley of sight, sound, emotion and imagined interactivity. The end result is a dream! We can learn much from our dreams, if we only but listen with a trained ear. There is nothing psychic about understanding dreams. There is a certain degree of suspicion, coupled with logic and a working knowledge of dreaming involved though." Michael explains that the best way to learn how to interpret your dreams is to start keeping a record of what you dream. "You can't interpret your dreams if you don't remember them so get yourself a Dictaphone which you should keep besides your bed. As soon as you wake from your dream record what happened, then name the basic theme of the dream. Take away all the details, names, things and places and leave only the action and then look at the dream as a whole. Only by examining your own emotions as you try to fit the theme into a given situation can you know you hit the mark. Our lives are sometimes so complicated that we many have so many things going on that could fit the theme, our emotions are our best clue to pin pointing the exact application. Emotions are a very good hint to the dream itself. Pay strict attention to 'your emotional state' while in the dream, whether you felt happy, sad, angry or scared in the dream."
