It is important to pay attention to our dreams and the deeper messages that lie within them. According to Dream Specialist Kelly Sullivan Walden, dreams can provide insight to our mind, body, and spirit. Dreams are ultimately the key to our well-being.
The average person spends six years of their life dreaming and the cool thing is: Everyone dreams. Blind people, infants, and even animals. On average, we dream for about 1-2 hours each night and you can have four to twelve different dreams in one night. That's a lot of dreaming!
Unfortunately, the power of our dreams are often ignored. Dreams can provide health warnings and methods to over-come them. Dreams can also foreshadow upcoming events, good or bad, and offer guidance. A perfect example is the legendary Harriet Tubman, who dreamt of escape routes that helped her guide many slaves to freedom.
Dreams can also offer us entertainment and inspiration. Dreams can be funny, fulfilling, and insightful. Dreams can spout change in our perspective, our careers, and our creative endeavors.
The most useful aspect of dreams is that they can provide sleepy glimpses into the future. A study shows that 18-38 percent of people have experienced at least one insight into the future by way of a dream and 70 percent express that they have experienced deja vu.
To conclude, it is also important that we share our dreams. Talking about our dreams with one another (No matter how bizarre they may be) allows us to connect and relate to one another. This also allows us to get in touch with our inner-selves. DREAM ON!
