Why do you think we have dreams?

[Eugenia06]

I might be saying it wrong. But I will tell you one of my dreams that came to reality. (Even though there is more than several dreams I had) I had a hoopty, & my boyfriend spent the night with me, & he left his work clothes at home. So that meant I had to get up extra early to go to work, because I had to take him home first before we could go to work. (we was working together) I dreamed that we woke up to go to work, & I was on my way to his house to get his work clothes. I made it to his house to get his clothes, & after picking his clothes up, we headed to work. My engine light came on in the car at the , the traffic light, when I got pass the bridge, the car shut down. He was on probation at work, so he had to show up for work. He was 15 minutes late for work. & I was 3 hours late for work because my car had broke down on me. So now it's time to get up and really go to work. We got up, I said to him, My car is going to break down when I get pass the bridge, the engine light is going to come on when I get to the light, then I said " youre gonna end up getting on the rapid and going to work and youre gonna be 15 minutes late for work and Ima be 3 hours late for work. As everything is happening into place like I told him, he was shocked. So then when he did get to work, he called me. & I asked him how late was he for work, he started laughing and said 15 minutes Ms. Cleo. & til this day he still calls me that. So he can witness, verify, which ever word you prefer to use that my dreams tell me whats about to happen. Science can't explain that. I dream like that alot, & yes it can be scary. I also have a cousin that can verify or witness that I really dream like that. I have so many episodes, but this one was the shortest.
I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But my dreams are not opinions, they are facts....Remember now, an opinion is something that you think, feel or believe. A fact is something that can be proven.

I'm not sure entirely.  I'd like to think that basically our subconscious is open so things come in, I guess.  I sorta believe there is a collective thought pool that we can tap into (which is why people have the same ideas miles apart).  So, when we sleep, we kinda tap into it and things come in, either based on our own thoughts or not.

I know I've had some dreams that later appear in movies or a sorta deja vu thing with random strangers, so I don't know exactly what causes it but I think it's more than just brain activity.

I believe dreaming for the most part is what is going on subconciously in our minds, or things that have happened throughout the day and our mind hasn't "shut down" for the day yet.  Don't really know thats just my thoughts about it

I was told along time ago. (More or less and old wives tale as they call it.) If its a bad dream tell someone about it or it will come true. Some say that a dream can mean something from your past present or future. That is sort of like our politicans. Do you believe or not.

I found that out the hard way. But sometimes it does happen that way. I have told a couple of dreams, and they still came into the reality world.

Dreams are used throughout the Bible.  I sure have been having some strange ones lately

Dreams are used throughout the Bible. 

That accounts for the prevalent unreality of the content.

I sure have been having some strange ones lately

Probably induced by that fictional book of unreality xtians prefer.
