Float away on a fluffy cloud
With dreams of unicorns
And chocolate fountains
A place like Heaven
That we visit every night
To get away from misery
That chases us through waking days…
Apparently, it’s World Dream Day today. I don’t know about any of you, but I have the wackiest dreams – and I dream EVERY night which can be a little bit exhausting.
I do also have trouble remembering them in their entirety. I find myself getting flashes of them throughout the day as I remember each piece, like it is a giant jigsaw that needs to be put together before the next round of sleep.
I have always wondered whether they do mean anything. I love to think that they are something more than us just processing the days events. I really do hope that actually, they are revealing to us the deepest parts of our psyche, and perhaps shining a light on what may be coming up in our future.
Whatever a dream may be, I do enjoy that feeling of floating away from reality and entering a world that is entirely of my own making.
Much Love

From what I’ve read, Rachel, we do need to dream for mental and physical health. If we don’t quickly begin to lose cognitive function. Even if we don’t remember our dreams, they’re still there – mattering. Whatever dreams are or mean, they seem to be pretty important!

Wow, I didn’t realise they were that important. I guess that’s why teenagers struggle when they spend all night on the xbox!

I studied the role dreams play in last year university, and have since kept a dream journal. An invaluable therapeutic tool, I find.

I bet you can learn a lot about yourself. I’d love to study it and learn a bit more.
