Amazing and enchanting world of dreams
Hello all, Thanks for visiting me on the day one. Hope the theme and my writing keeps up your interest till the end.
Humans have always been curious about Dreams. We always wanted to know all about dreams and their meanings. Centuries ago, kings got their dreams interpreted and noted on wax coated stones, ancient Egyptians wrote a book with interpretations of 100 dreams and even till date we have many researches and theories going on to understand this enchanting world of Dreams.
Dream world is yet to be completely explored, there can be many interpretations of your dream. When I was doing my engineering and staying in college hostel, we had a Kashmiri neighbour who had this book which had mythological interpretations about the animals we see in dreams. That was interesting.
This is as vast and elusive as universe. In this series we will talk about the most common dreams like falling down, running away, loosing tooth as well as dreams that include animals like cats, dogs, snakes and even some DeJa’Vu dreams, dreams where you are lost or chasing someone, or the one with presence of water.
Dreams can lead to different experiences and emotions, from being entertaining, fun, romantic, disturbing, frightening, and sometimes bizarre,
If we go by the theoretical definition as mentioned on Wikipedia
What are Dreams?
A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, although they have been a topic of scientific, philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history.
Types of Dreams:
Dreams can be of many types majorly its Day dreaming, Lucid dreams and nightmares
Day dreaming which we can get when we take a nap during the day.
Lucid Dreams – have your ever realised that you are dreaming and still you are going with the flow with a little control over what’s happening, yes those are Lucid dreams. They are generally part of an ongoing dream. Being a programmer, I like calling them nested dreams, a dream within a dream.
Nightmares we all know those leave us frightened, scares and it wakes us up with a jerk or scream
Apart from these there are prophetic dreams, recurring dreams, healing dreams, signal dreams and so on.
Why do we forget dreams?
I am doing a lot of research and the thoughts are around dreams and dreams only, I was planning to share my yesterday night’s dream with all of you to start with, but I do not remember it.
Most people do not remember dreams, even sometimes at night when they get up, they are remembering it but by the morning no matter how hard you try you cannot recollect it, isn’t it?
The reason why we do not remember dreams is due to lack of a chemical called “norepinephrine” in our cerebral cortex. Cerebral cortex is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals.
Norepinephrine chemical is responsible for sending signals or let’s say communicate between nerve cells. It is also a stress hormone.
So if you don’t remember your dreams it’s a “Chemical locha” in our brain.
Now a very important question comes, Why do we dream?
Honestly there is no scientific answer to understand why and how we dream. There are just theories. Theories given by someone as well researched as Sigmund Freud to Mythological predictions in various religious books. But nothing is conclusive. The theories heavily depend on a person’s beliefs.
Lets just dive in and swim freely and understand and interpret as many dreams as we can.
Tomorrow I will be back with the first dream validation, what is it when you see babies in your dreams, what it means, good or bad? Stay tuned, see you tomorrow.

Wow a talk on dreams, interesting. I believe that every dream has a reason and also a lot of people tell that what you see in your dream is always the opposite of actuals. Like if you see a person dying it means their good time is going to start & alot of other things.
I always wonder what dreams mean and why we get them. Your post really helped me understand lot of things.
I hardly get dreams but whenever I get, it has so many people and incidences. Hardly they make sense to me when I recall them. I would like to know more about the whole concept of dreaming. may be I also become a dreamweaver after A2Z…:)
Wow this reminds me of my Engg days too… I even had a book on dreams interpretation…. Great topic for the challenge… Will definitely look forward for more!!
Very interesting topic. I too get confused remembering my dreams and often Google it to understand what it meant. Nice that you’ll be sharing here. Btw, anything to correct this norepinephrine deficiency?

Dreams, something I never bothered to dwell into unless it ruffles me at wrong wits. But this post realized me how much more are behind our sub conscious brain
Will be glued to all your dream posts. I dream every night and wish to understand the meaning of them.
Amazingly written, waiting for the series
Dreams are a vision of our reality. This challenge must be taken for all of us to let our hearts out.
Looks like interesting start. Looking forward to read more articles
I am anxiously waiting for the validation of dreams. I read your previous posts too, and as said previously too, dream interpretations intrigue me a lot.
I have so many questions on interpretations of dreams that I really wanna know the meaning. This article just hit the right note I am eagerly waiting for the next post.
nice and interesting post. often we all think about it. I also believe dreams do have certain meaning.
Dreams are an interesting phenomenon. I sure would love to decipher them through your posts here.
Dreams are life.. Without dreams you are not nothing
Yeah dreams is a much sought after topic. Thanks for revising them.
I read once that it’s a set of four dreams when completed you wake up fresh without feeling sleepy and if this four dreams are not over while sleeping you will keep yawning and dizzy for the day
Such an interesting topic you chose. Loved reading this article and would love to read other related articles too.
I had always found the science behind dreams very mysterious. Loved the article.
That seems to be an interesting series. Looking forward to it and hoping to find some answers about my weird dreams. . Good Luck.
Interesting post. Liked the way you described the kind of dreams we see. Dreams are hidden desires revealed by our subconscious.Look forward to read your other posts.
I have always wondered why we dream and what they mean, more so the ones that are vague. I’ll be getting my answers through your series.
Lucid dreams are so funny at times, we are controlling and at same time not writing them, such a dilemma feeling. Loving your posts Ujjwal :))
I loved the theme Ujjwal, unique as well as I can see you have put in a lot of effort in researching the facts
Dreaming has always fascinated me. It always feels in the morning that I was dreaming about something but would not remember what it was..
I just read the blog about seeing babies in dreams and it is so detailed. I am hooked to your series.
I get a lot of dreams, most of the times I remember them in the morning and I share it with my husband or just write it down in my colour note on phone to share it with others later. But then there are some dreams which stay with me forever, there are many dreams from my childhood which I still remember. There are also some repetitive dreams in similar or different forms. Would love to read your views on these if you happen to write them in the coming days.
I like this post, enjoyed this one best regards for posting.
Like!! Thank you for publishing this awesome article.
Can I simply just say what a relief to discover someone who genuinely understands what they’re talking about over the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people should read this and understand this side of your story. I can’t believe you aren’t more popular because you surely have the gift.
