I know what I believe about dreams, but am very curious as to what others might consider dreams to be. Isaac Asimov said that dreams were just the sweeping out of trash from the day's activities. I disagree but am aware that many people can offer different perspectives on the subject. I will tell you this: I believe dreams are important and should be understood and acted upon if action is required.
One of the most important dreams I had in the first year I started remembering dreams was just words. Those words were: KNOWLEDGE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE ACQUIRE IN LIFE AND KNOWLEDGE OF SELF IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS. I had that dream when I was 43. I am now 83 and have written a book on the subject because I was told in a series of dreams that I had a book to write. I was shown the cover of the book. My sister had a dream in which she was instructed to tell me that the book would come from my dream journals. All of those dreams occurred in 1984. During the next 32 I asked many time when I should start the book and I was always told there was plenty of time. In 2016 I had a dream in which I was told to write a procedure for remembering and recording dreams. The book was published in 2022. My definition of dreams and their source are included in the book.
Since the people on this forum are interested in dreams and are looking for understanding, I got curious as to just exactly what they think a dream is.
