Our brain goes to rest for repair. It becomes active again when that is over. Our consciousness is still capped. Now when the brain gets activated neurons start firing between activated memories of sorts. Now we have a variety of memories of shapes, colours, objects, persons, etcetera. Now comes the main part of the dream. We in the dream make a futile attempt to resolve the day's unresolved issues. The end of the dream reveals that. We recall a part of the dream that is shocking or shattering because it is unusual. Our consciousness is momentarily activated. So we remember it. Most dreams are forgotten in 90 minutes after waking. They can be harmful for our wellbeing if we choose to remember them. Why? Because they are dreams afterall. Creations of our mind far distanced from reality. What is close to reality is the essence of the dream. Some are lost on the way, trapped, slipped down a slow, drifting in the cloud, not finding what I am searching for, being chased, falling, flying etcetera. You can read material by Joseph Campbell on dreams. This is it.
My policy is to forget the dream and move on in life. It is like believing in a planchet. Something that is concocted. There is no dearth of soothsayers and dream interpreters for they make a living out of them.
Yes psychiatrists are interested in dreams to know what the psyche is bothered by and how it is trying to resolve major life issues.
Our life itself is like living in a dream world and most of us do that, very distanced from world reality.
So my sincere request to you is not to search for read meaning into dreams - be they good or bad. And more importantly get into the habit of consciously forgetting them and living our life meaningfully.
