are combined with
our wishes.

explained the dreams as a
result of personal experience
also associated with collective
conscious. He was the one
who said that the dreamer
could interpret the dreams by
forming combined image of all
the dreams and finding the
common element among
them.

Where Do Dreams Come From
and Why?
Following are two concepts of dreams:

1) General Concept:
The dreams usually comes from two sources.

 Dreams can be a product of our own

imaginations.
For example : If you are watching horror films, then
dreams might be related to your own imagination
through which you feel some fear.

 Dreams can come from God.

For example : In the shape of Istakhara.

2) Scientific Concept:

 Dreams come from your soul and are intended to

help you progress along your life path. In sleep
the focus of the physical world and the body is
on hold and during this period your soul has a
perfect opportunity to dialogue with your
conscious mind... or so it would appear.

 Why dreams come, because the main problem

here is that the subconscious never sleeps.

the day.

give freshness.

problems.

events that may occur in future.

Dreams in Different Colors:
 Most people do dream in color, but some may not notice colors in
their dreams. we sometimes fail to notice colors in our dreams.

 Dreams become lighter so quickly from our memory when we wake

up . If we try to recall the dream we only see a blur image.

 Dreams in black and white can be an indication of a depressed or

sadden mood.

 For Example: But if you saw a colorful dream, so it means your

power of imagination is good. Some people said that the person
who seen colorful dreams his eyesight will never low.

Conclusion / Logic Relate to
Dreams:
 Dream is a set of mental process which we see daily.
 As we all know that logic depends on correct thinking.
 Dreams are also related to our thinking.
 So, we conclude that logic is related to thinking and
thinking is related to dreams.
 LOGIC >> THINKING >> DREAMS.
 The 2nd reason is that:
 Logic also deals with our mental processes.
 And mental processes deal with our conscious and
subconscious mind.
 Dreams are our inner feelings of mental processes.
 And Dreams usually comes through our subconscious
mind, because the subconscious never sleeps.

30
Continue.
 Dream research offers many theories but still
no definite answer to the question, why do we
dream? Scientists generally seem to agree
that dreaming is a form of thinking during
sleep.
 Dreams are a mixed bag. The truth is,
science still doesn't answer logic behind
dreaming.
