We wake up every morning, mostly with the feeling that we have been dreaming something, that feeling often very quickly disappear or we forget. Sometimes that feeling lasts all day or even a lifetime. We remember what we dreamed. And sometimes we get the feeling that the dream is part of our real life, so strong that it is simply incredible that is not true.

But what dreams really mean? Is it perhaps one of the ways we handle situations that happen to us in life and learn how to better cope with them? Or is it the way our brains distinguish that things in our memory should be deleted and which things are important?
I have not yet decided how I feel about my dreams, what they might be. But I really like them. The way I feel when I dream something beautiful, or the fear when I wake up in the night thinking that someone chase me in the woods and I can not escape... Or that some very strange feeling when you dream something crazy, something that secretly you want!
And what a relief when you realize that some things are just a dream, and you wake up. But dreams are not only part of the human psyche, animals dream too. Maybe the plant too, who knows... It would be logical to say that we solve with our dreams fears, excitement, views on life, thinking... But sometimes that explanation simply does not make sense to me.
Nightmares may be a warning of strong migraine. Painful headaches can also occur at night, and often precede them bad dreams involving themes of anger and aggression.
Nightmares can be caused by lack of sleep. Lack of sleep can cause a syndrome of sleep paralysis. This condition cause the inability of movement for a few moments after waking up, because of 'failure' in the system that controls our muscles.
Why exactly dream, always interested many scientists and provokes many discussions. What is known is that most people dream during the night between four and six dreams, and the dreams we remember about two to three weeks.
What are really dreams, no one knows, but in my opinion, will never even know. All we need to realize our own dreams in their own way, as it may alert us to something, who knows...
Have a good day / night!
