How many of u out there have dreams? Can anyone tell me why you will dream the same dream over and over? 
Can you tell me why people dream about the loved ones that have died? What does it mean?
Why do we never have funny dreams and wake up laughing?
Instead we wake up from a dream crying.

hello, I don't know awhole lot, but I think from my own personal experience that when you dream the same dream over and over it something that we want in real life but can't do, so we realize it in our dreams. As for loved ones who passed away, it their way of communicating with you letting you know they are fine, as a way for you to finish undone business with them. As for the crying dream, it could be that you are releasing built up stess from your life, that you can't really release yet so we do it in a dream, anykind of dream, and we wake up crying thus getting rid of some of that stress or problems. Hope this little bit helped.Posted 11-19-2008 at 06:50 AM by lu58

I don't think anyone will ever understand exactly where dreams come from. Throughout our long lives we absorb a lot of experiences. Most of them are simple yet some are very complex. There are lots of repeats in our experiences and lots of times that are only slightly different from a previous experience. If you experience it, it gets stored in the brain's memory. Those many, many memories become a treasure trove that is a unique personal library we come to identify as our self.
But, sometimes your mind passes into the sleep state. During that time passing into the sleep state your mind will be either in passive wake state while you are absorbing a pleasant show on TV or listening to the frogs. It doesn't matter. Other times your mind passes from a self feeding active wake state to a sleep state with only a brief pass through the passive wake state. Self feeding means that your mind is directing your thoughts over the worries of the day. You're replaying every detail that matters over and over, while at the same time the part of your mind that is watching the replay is analyzing for understanding and to form your opinions about the event and its significance. At some point, through fatigue, you give it up and slip into the passive wake state and then into sleep.
We think we know all that we think, but we don't; even when we're awake. Everyone's had the experience of trying to remember something and as long as you try, you can't remember. But, as soon as you stop trying it just comes to you. There is another part of the mind that is busy in every day thought processes that we are unable to direct. It works on its own without our awareness or control. It is called the subconscious. You say, "Get me that memory." It gets the memory, if it can find it. If you're trying to aim at a target and can let your subconscious do the work of aiming, you will hit the target much more than if you are consciously focused on the process yourself.
In sleep, the subconscious is the only one that is getting busy in the brain, and it only gets busy for a short time during the REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. If you wake during this sleep, you will experience the thoughts of the subconscious. If your sleep is interrupted or if you sleep late and can't stay asleep.
The subconscious is pretty much doing what you were trying to do when you were worrying yourself to sleep. It is going over all the information in your treasure trove of memories, and trying to make sense of it all so that your self identity will make sense to your conscious self.Posted 12-30-2008 at 08:46 PM by Bull Winkus
