My interpretation of dreaming is very ...logical. When you experience things during the day, they get stored in short term memory. For those things to be committed to long term memory, your body compares them to experiences past, and archives them that way. The comparisson produces dreams, which can be logicially explained by seeing what even during the day triggered it.

I don't believe in invisible people in the sky influencing my dreams, nor do I believe in people in the afterlife influencing dreams either. This is the 21st century

Me thinks this crosses over to the paranormal? Never have experienced any messages in dreams. Certainly not ones that foretold of anything that actually happened later.

Yup, this is the conclusion I came to. Every night I have a dream, there is something I experience in it along with something from a long time ago or something else that happened that day.

My dad has gotten a few messages in his dreams,

for example he was sick a few years ago and he didnt know why. Then one night he had a strange dream(i cant remmember the exact details) but basically there was a load of foreigners standing in his garden, and one of them had a sign with the latin word for iron written on it. The next day he went to the doctors and asked for an iron test, the doctor was reluctant because low iron levels are very rare in men but my dad insisted, Afew days later he got an urgent phone call from the GP, his iron leverls were actually alarmingly low

Pretty cool, never experienced anything similar.

I'd agree with that, but only sometimes. Other times they can be 'just dreams'.

I'd also agree with ned when he said that dreams are the result of the memories and thoughts being processed, categorised and stored.

I think these two things can work together. For instance, perhaps 's dad once read or heard somewhere about iron deficiency but the information wasn't important at the time, so it got stored somewhere at the back of the mind and 'forgotten about'. It's not until going to bed one night, maybe years later, wondering what his symptoms pertain to that these memories get unearthed by the subconscious, and displayed (or at least remembered the next morning) in a typically surreal dream like way. It would be easy to overlook these messages.

To me that would be the easiest and most 'logical' way of explaining such things.

Personally I think there's also something to be said for a more spiritual or paranormal side to it - messages from the distant past or (geographically) distant present. Much in the same way as this would be possible using meditation or certain types of hallucinogens. Easier for some, lots of hard work for others.

Yes, not about something I like either...
Why, what do you have nightmares about?
Is it something that happened in your life like mine? or?
