DREAMS AND DREAMING


Dreams and dreaming are now known to have a number of specific and important functions and are discussed in 'How the Human Brain Developed and How the Human Mind Works' {27}. We see that: Dreams may "provide help in solving problems (or solutions to everyday problems), even scientific ones" and may "also be an inspiration for artistic creativity (for discovery and creativity)" and have also been the source of literary and musical inspiration. {24}
... at times dreams seem to originate from an unknown ... source ... Occasionally dreams contain information beyond the experience, knowledge or understanding of the dreamer. {27}
Some people consider that dreams may be ... understood as messages ... 'good' dreams sent to guide us ... 'bad' dreams sent to destroy us".
So that people are receiving ideas of unknown origin by way of dreams which present information primarily in the form of images.
