Dreams and what they mean
We all have dreams at night, even if we don’t always recall them. Why is it important that we dream and how important is this in homeopathic consultations?
Definition: a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep.
Dreams occur during our REM sleep cycle. This gives us an indication that the person dreaming is accessing deep restorative REM sleep.
Types of dream:
1.Nightmares – these are unpleasant dreams, where the person is scared and may wake up frightened.
2.Recurring dreams – These dreams happen over and over again. It may be over several days or weeks. Or it may resurface over the course of many years.
3.Prophetic dreams – these dreams can foretell or predict the future. These can be up to 4% of our dreams.
4.Epic dreams – These are often vivid in nature, almost technicolour like a film or video.
5.Lucid dreams – in these dreams you are aware you are dreaming and can sometimes control what is going on. Often this type of dream goes hand in hand with Astral projections.
Why might a homeopath be interested in your dreams?
If your dreams are specific enough and you remember them, they can lead homeopaths to a specific remedy. This can be a helpful piece of the puzzle alongside physical and emotional symptoms.
