Dreams

http://www.eso-garden.com/

I had a dream. A dream so vivid I could remember fragments of it. These dreams are often those that leave you tired despite having had hours of sleep.

I awoken with a sense of vulnerability.

Have you ever had a dream where you were walking down the streets, and then suddenly you realize that you are naked ? That's the feeling.

Not too much on the part of embarrassment, but on the sense of being vulnerable.

Don't you think that dreams are such a wonder ? It's so mysterious and intriguing.

I often wonder whether these dreams would mean anything. Perhaps an insight into the future. But very unlikely though, as dreams does not make much sense.

However, I'm sure many of you have experienced Deja vu. Sometimes you are just talking to someone or just doing something in particular and then you feel like it has happened before. This feeling is often accompanied by the sense of strangeness.

Some relates Deja vu to clairvoyance, past lives, a dream once had or a memory forgotten, which is entirely mysterious and fascinating.

Creepy right ? Though it may be romantic at times.


Some people say that dreams occur as a result of things that have been on your mind. Well, not necessarily I guess. The vivid dream I had yesterday contains no character of which I have been thinking in the day.

I've heard theories where they believe that dreams are accounts of what the soul experiences when it leaves the body when we sleep. As a result, I've heard adults prohibiting their kids from drawing on faces when the individual is fast asleep.

It is said that the soul having left the body after the individual falls asleep, will be unable to recognize the body when it returns later. Thus, that particular individual will continue to sleep forever ...

Of course, there are scientific explanations to dreams which are all about the brain, chemical reactions and neurological stuffs. But that certainly kills the unusual feeling dreams exude right ?

Then again, how true can the scientific explanation be ? After all, it is developed by homo sapiens which are also developers of superstitious beliefs.

Could it be that our world today is actually a dream of another being ?
