Various examples of dreams and their interpretation are available due to the work of many psychologists and others interested in the phenomenon of people. Many philosophers paid attention to the truth of dreams implementation in the real life. Sigmund Freud wrote about dreams as arches of further actions in a man’s life connected with some primitive sexual experience in childhood until the conscientious age.
As it is noted in the Journal of Mental Health Counseling: “the dreamer feels only partly responsible for his or her dreams; they have some of the quality of play, of “let’s suppose.” That is why it is so important to react right when people see dreams. In fact, a dream opens the path towards the spiritual framework of people and actually, many of the true objectives are hidden under the veil of a night vision. Stephanie Clement in her book divides all dreams into four specific groups: “telepathic, nightmares, sexual, waking, and prophetic.” It is quite important to work out the factors or motives which contribute to the nightmares.
Such dreams are connected, as it is considered, with some fear or terrible feelings which intend people to wake up or to even scream before waking up. The thing is that a nightmare is a strong signal for a man to provide an action plan in order to prevent some troubles from the outside in this waking life. A person may follow the way of resolving such troubles in real life as well as within a dream.
The relationship between a person and his nightmare is straightforward, and some actions which were not followed in the past or troubles which can appear in the near future times are reflected in such dreams due to the images which encode special information for a person. Speaking of the extremely personal character of nightmares one can point out that people live in their own individual inner worlds and extents associations, images, and thoughts are hidden in people with the help of personal “enigma”. So the dream should be interpreted taking into account the personal experience of an individual. Three approaches according to Clement are possible in terms of a man’s reaction to a nightmare:
- You can simply accept the nightmare and take no response, which in return can make a dream repeat.
- You can actively be involved within the dream trying by such efforts, in fact, to resolve it.
- You can act in personal waking life providing attempts to return into a dream by means of imagination.
