Everyone has heard about the dreams that foreshadowed the greats of this world of defeat and victory. But everyone sees prophetic dreams: you just need to learn to translate from the "dream" language into the familiar one.
Simple as intuition
The brighter a person is, the brighter and more interesting his dreams. History is replete with examples of dreams of mars, military leaders and other rulers of destinies who managed to influence the course of world events. Thus, according to the testimony of Herodotus, Egypt got rid of the rule of the Ethiopian king: one day he had a dream that he had to cut all the Egyptian priests in half. "The gods have turned away from me, since they are pushing me to such blasphemy!" - the superstitious king judged in horror and immediately fled from Egypt.
In our time, politicians, if they attach any importance to their dreams, they carefully hide it. And in vain, serious scientists have long proved that dreams deserve the most serious attention. Indeed, in a dream, our logic is asleep and INTUITION comes out on top: it is she who is able to suggest what the mind cannot understand.
In general, you should not neglect your dreams. Another thing is that they cannot be understood literally: the images of dreams are a special language.
The language of poets and plumbers

The most plausible and consistent theory to date that explains many of the mysteries of sleep is the theory of metaphors. According to her, dreams speak to us in the language of hints, emotions and figurative comparisons, which we constantly use in everyday life. These are poems, and catchphrases, and even an ordinary mat.
"Crane in the sky", "children are the flowers of life", "stoerosovaya cudgel" - all that rich arsenal of hints and metaphors, which we use during the day for a red or even strong word, takes on a second life at night, manifesting itself in a dream in the form of bright animated pictures … According to this theory, tensions in the family, for example, may appear in your dream as a bare wire.
Dream images are multifaceted, and the temptation to cling to the very first superficial meaning is too great. So numerous dream books are proliferating on store shelves under the simple slogan: "A wedding is good, a funeral is bad" …
The king's new dress
It has long been noted that dreams are not as varied as they seem. Most of us see the same images at night: people, houses, cars … One of the most common images of sleep is undoubtedly clothes. Indeed, very few people were not lucky enough to be naked in a dream in the middle of a gawking crowd, or at least in home clothes and slippers at a reception. No wonder, because clothes symbolize a person's image, his position in society. Any impending change in status or simply lack of self-confidence will inevitably cause you to have a whole series of such piquant visions.
However, if nudity in a dream does not bother you and does not cause unhealthy laughter from others, then this is an indication of your frankness and openness. But if at the same time you are drawn into some kind of conflict, a dream suggests that it is your frankness in reality that can become a source of quarrel.
If at night for some reason you paid attention to your costume or its detail, this is also not without reason. Disorder in the clothes you dreamed about can portend real problems with your reputation, a beautiful suit will tell you that your self-esteem is at the proper height, and buying a new dress will warn you that important changes are ripe.
If money falls from the sky
“I dream that I am going somewhere, I have a hat in my hands, and I collect coins in it. Everything would be fine, and the hat is full to the top, but the money is somehow small, undignified,”one acquaintance shared with me during a difficult period for him.
Popular wisdom says: happiness is not in money, but in their quantity. This statement is quite applicable to dreams: if in the arms of Morpheus you happened to make a good profit that pleased you, it means that in daytime affairs you have taken the right course and have every chance of success. The rest is up to you; you will be able to realize your capabilities - well, but if you screw it all up, you yourself are to blame.
Paper bills usually indicate the possibility of a successful acquisition or a promising contract, and full-weight coins promise real financial success. Small coins are a sign that the expectations of profits are overestimated (which, in fact, the dream of my friend warned about. The hat in this dream meant his plans and plans, and soon one of his ideas really made a profit, but the amount turned out to be much less than he counted).
However, often income in a dream has nothing to do with the image of money. A beautiful dish can hint at a stable paycheck, and a small plate can warn of the tough times ahead. Once I myself had the opportunity to verify this by buying a pig in a dream lying on a silver platter. In my life, this piglet put a real pig on me!
Wet business
Lev Leshchenko told about this dream: “I dreamed that I was repairing a dacha, but everything was falling out of my hands: either the tile cracked, or the pipe leaked” … You can wholeheartedly sympathize with the popularly beloved singer, who in a dream is preoccupied with such a the main task of the artist is to sing, paying less attention to household chores. It was about this that Leshchenko spoke of his dream. Water in a dream is a symbol of vitality, and all kinds of leaks mean that energy that is wasted on trifles and, like water in sand, goes away irrevocably.
In general, all images associated with water are as simple and understandable as possible. So, a puddle means the inability to concentrate and wasting energy on trifles. And more fundamental bodies of water speak of significant and global things.
For example, the river symbolizes the course of your entire life. Calm, with clean water, it speaks of your good health and good business. But the image of the sea means the element of feelings and instincts; succumbing to them, a person can easily lose control of himself. So, if, looking at sea waves in a dream, you feel anxiety or apprehension, be careful: a storm of emotions can soon seriously complicate your life.
Fate in the hands of Morpheus
Many claim that they see "prophetic dreams", investing in these words a solemnly sublime meaning. However, neither angels nor representatives of the world of fairy tales and legends, oddly enough, are not a guarantee that you really came into contact with fine matter in a dream.
The most faithful symbol of fate in dreams is the sky, and if you paid attention to it, try to remember everything in the morning to the smallest detail. The clear blue sky will speak of the goodwill of fortune, and thunderclouds will warn of possible danger.
However, even the most disturbing dream does not set itself the goal of plunging you into the abyss of depression. On the contrary, by describing the situation as it is, he gives a chance to change it, often even suggesting how exactly this is best done.
Where do discoveries come from
It is known that people spend about thirty percent of their sleep on dreams! It turns out that our brain "rests" very actively. At the same time, if any living creature is deprived of the opportunity to sleep, it will quickly die.
The active phases of sleep, when we dream, usually occur in the morning hours. Therefore, the "larks" that get up at dawn deprive themselves of the unusual experiences that we experience in our early morning dreams.
It is believed that meaningful and interesting dreams are dreamed by all living beings with a highly developed nervous system. Whether this is so, science has not yet been proven. But in the course of research, scientists have identified a paradoxical relationship between the onset of REM sleep and the size of the dreamer. The elephant will see its first dreams no earlier than two hours after going to bed. Adults and gorillas in about ninety minutes, children and most monkeys in 50, cats in 15, mice in 9 minutes. This means that the nature of dreams has nothing to do with mental abilities. This unexpected conclusion can be considered an indirect argument in favor of the fact that the brain is not a generator, but rather a limiter of consciousness.
At the same time, in the book "The World of Lucid Dreams" by S. Laberge and H. Reingold, eyewitness accounts of lucid dreams are cited, who claim that the degree of awareness that can be achieved in a dream depends on the level of perception of reality in the waking state.
It is known that the artist Korovin Chaliapin dreamed with a stone on his chest, which, despite all efforts, could not be removed - and soon the singer died. Julius Caesar's wife watched this tragedy in her sleep three days before the murder of her husband. At the same time, revelatory dreams are not necessarily associated with future events or the manifestation of Jung's archetypes from the field of the collective unconscious. Evidence of this is the amazing examples of dreams from "nowhere": one person several times felt like a goose in a dream. He flew for a long time at high altitude, sometimes among the clouds, and saw the earth, as from an airplane, far below. From the cold headwind, his paws froze, and he hid them in feathers on his warm belly. Then he sailed with a flock of brothers on a large lake among the reeds and saw in the distance black people who were sitting in boats. Some long sticks flew noiselessly from them,who fell into birds and killed them. He could not understand why these reeds bring death. Only when he woke up, he realized that he had seen African hunters, and the killer sticks were arrows. Opening Bram's book, this man read that the paws of the geese are freezing and they press them to the belly …
Why is big science deaf to these many interesting facts? First, the exact sciences are used to dealing with phenomena that can be repeated in an experiment. How to repeat the dream? Secondly, the very content of the dream cannot be verified. As for dreams, here we are all interpreters. Thirdly, the acceptance of the described facts as the truth entails downright monstrous consequences for the concepts of modern natural science. What is the nonlinearity of time alone that results from them! So it turns out that sleep as a phenomenon presupposes fundamental conclusions, and fundamental conclusions that overturn our ideas about the world need strong arguments. In general, a vicious circle …
To summarize, sleep functions are not limited to resting the body and brain and remain completely unclear. In terms of the intensity of sensations and the quality of possibilities (for example, learning in sleep), sleep is many times superior to reality. But the logic of events in it is bizarre and often inexplicable from the point of view of the "daytime" mind.
Sometimes a dream provokes amazing insights that not only go beyond the dreamer's life experience, but also carry information about the future.
Perhaps, in these paradoxes, some important secret of life is encrypted, having solved which, we will receive the keys to a parallel reality.
Sleep yoga
This is the most unusual yoga, because its goal is to teach a person to extract vital information from dreams and influence the situation in real life in a dream. One day a sleep yoga teacher saw in a dream that his beloved disciple, among other passengers, was traveling in a truck through a mountain pass. At the turn, the driver lost control and the truck crashed into the abyss. All died. Without waking up, with an effort of will, the teacher sends the student a "program": "Hit it hurts, but don't die." Two days later, the teacher read in the newspaper that a truck was driving through the pass, the driver could not steer, and the car fell into the abyss. But two survived. One of the survivors was his student.
It is generally accepted that sleep consists of several phases. Falling asleep is preceded by half-asleep, when some images flash before the inner gaze of a person, he hears voices. Then comes the period of slow sleep, when the activity of the brain decreases as much as possible and the person sleeps without dreams. This is followed by a phase of REM sleep, when the sleeper is in the world of his fantasies. According to scientists, dreams are caused by weak electromagnetic waves. REM sleep is characterized by an alpha rhythm with a low frequency, and the onset of a period of REM sleep can be recognized without devices - by the movement of the eyeballs: the eyes run under closed eyelids, as if a person is observing real events. Each of these stages presents to the dreamer its own reality, merging into a kaleidoscope of pictures and images.
A completely different approach to the dreaming process in sleep yoga, which teaches in its own way how to navigate the phases of dreams. Each of them falls on a certain time, has its own characteristics and the degree of information reliability. So, from twenty-two hours to one in the morning, dreams are absolutely "empty". The middle phase lasts from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. At this time, visions, inspired by daytime experiences, appear. The most sophisticated and informational-meaningful is the third phase, from half past four to half past six in the morning. It is at these hours that dreams come, carrying information about future events.
But these are not prophetic dreams at all. Influencing consciousness in a certain way, as if preparing, leading a person to the realization of an important event in his life, such dreams as the wind in the sails. A person becomes able to perceive guiding information and make the most of it for self-realization. The highest goal of sleep yoga is to transform consciousness, "teach" it to exist in that parallel reality that opens in dreams. After all, dreams are not a "little death" at all, but a second life, and giving truly unlimited possibilities, a life in which there are no limits of time and space, where everyone can become the master of events. And yet, in the comparison of sleep with death, there is some truth: after all, the reality of sleep belongs to the subtle world, to the very one where the soul goes after leaving life. Thanks to dreams, a person is given the opportunity to live in two worlds - material and astral, drawing knowledge and wisdom from each. It is no coincidence that sleep yoga is mastered in Buddhism, which is not a religion. Buddhism is a science whose subject matter is human consciousness. Having realized the dream as a full-fledged reality, having learned to live in it, a person will finally make a colossal leap in his evolution. But this is still a long way off.
Life without awakening
After Dante's death, relatives could not find two pages of his "Divine Comedy". The poet, having appeared in a dream to his son, pointed to a secret safe, where the missing pages of the manuscript were found.
Examples of amazing cases associated with prophetic dreams are endless. Scientists, philosophers, psychologists study them. Among the mass of curious hypotheses, the theory of the Russian philosopher Peter Demyanovich Uspensky, a disciple and follower of the legendary George Gurdjieff, is especially unusual. In the book "New Model of the Universe", Uspensky argues that we see dreams not only when we sleep, but also in a state of wakefulness, in fact dreaming, although we are not aware of it … "When we wake up, the dream does not disappear, but the state of wakefulness joins it, drowning out the voices of dreams and making the images of dreams invisible."
According to Ouspensky's theory, pictures of the subtle world are superimposed on everything that we see. However, during wakefulness, they only in exceptional cases manifest themselves through reality. And if this happens, so-called miracles burst into our lives. “Suddenly, you are amazed to find yourself surrounded by a strange world of shadows, moods, sounds, pictures. And then you understand that this world has always existed inside us ….
Everything that we see in a dream belongs to the subtle, astral world, which stores information left by the consciousness of people, both living and departed. Through the ocean around us of unimaginably small particles containing information about everything, signals from Direct Time come to us, Ouspensky asserts.
But it’s true: modern science has proved that humanity, like all living things on our planet, processes energy, creating an informational, intellectual, noospheric “humus”.
And in this many scientists tend to see the main purpose of humanity. It is likely that dreams are nothing more than a visible part of this refining process.
