Reviewing Good and Bad Dreams

By Joanna Vaiou

Psychologists reviews have indicated that the dreams we have from time to time are a "mirror" to our inner emotions and mental situation. It is a fact that drawings can be a resource for psychologists to understand their client’s emotional status.

Drawings are like dreams. They are in perfect alignment with our subconscious, either we are able to explain them or not.

They are like awakening voices from within us, trying to tell us something specific that we are not currently aware of.

That doesn’t mean that we have some kind of mental problem, however most of the times we avoid to resolve these signs.

Either we are so busy with our lives moving forward with vertiginous speed, or we are just afraid to dig deeper.

The fact that inspired me to write this post is much more simple and funny than what I have mentioned above, meaning my effort to explain dreams, where do they come from and how important they are etc.

So I will put aside the psychotherapy session for now as I am not a psychologist :)and move on to the fun part of the story.

The last two nights I was told by my partner that I was laughing with all my heart during my sleep. That happened two nights in a row. And as hard as I tried to remember the script of my dream that made me laugh so much, I could not. That is funny and a little annoying at the same time.

When we have bad dreams, full of anxiety, stress and fear we remember it most of the times and if not, we sure feel the negative vibes from the first minutes that we wake up in the morning. At least I always remember my bad dreams.

I wish I could remember my good dreams always. So what was that story that cracked me up? I guess I will never know.

However I very much appreciate even the positive vibe that I gave to the universe, to the person that informed me on this (thought I was very funny and mysterious), and the good feeling that I had these two mornings after I woke up, not knowing exactly why.

That made me feel well without a reason, and I think that is a great thing. Managing to have no specific reason to feel well and happy every day is a big step forward.

It means that I am stepping away from the weakness of the human nature that is always in the need of awaiting something good to happen in order to feel good.

Conclusion: Happiness is a state of mind. We create our circumstances and if we don’t like something we should at least try to change it according to our perspective of life, values and preferences.

Happy Holidays!

Contributor's Note

I would like to add that approaching happiness as a state of mind and transforming it in a routine is not an overnight procedure. It takes a lot of soul-searching and self-education. I strongly believe that avoiding our inner voices and their signals is not a wise problem solver. On the contrary: Fighting our demons face to face is.

I am probably the happiest man alive because I learned, over 50 years ago, it is just as easy to be happy as it is to be sad.

My dreams, as I get older, tend to wake me so I remember many of them. Happy dreams tend to leave you to sleep on so you can remain happy while unhappy dreams tend to wake you so that you can break the mood.

I guess my unhappy dreams at night are trying to balance out my disgustingly happy days.

Thank you for not being a psycologist - they are the most dangerous people in the world.

Very nice reply :)

Yes I agree they are dangerous and the first people of all that need their own therapy. They have huge responsibility because of their given permission to affect people's inside emotional world and that makes them very dangerous sometimes.

I had a psychologist once in my life for sometime that I felt confused and after a while I realized that I did not really need this. That was very good because it made me acknowledge my inner strength and allowed me to give credit to it and stop expecting from others to help me.

For any syntax or spelling mistakes I may make from intel to intel, I apologize.

English is a dear language to me but is not my mother language. There is always and everywhere room for improvements and I want to thank the person that send me a note to improve my intel so it can be more easily read. I made some corrections.

Thank you all again!

I guess I'm strange, I never remember a dreams details other than they are usually silly scenarios that would never happen in real life. I wake up happy every morning and ready to have fun as a choice, life is much more fulfilling that way. Thanks for sharing.

Thank YOU Warren for the happy note!

Silly scenarios yes, not making sense at all, they are funny many times if you remember them :).

Wow!!! You must be a very happy person. In all my years on this planet I've never ever had a dream in which I'm laughing. My dreams usually involve falls from high places, stabbings, or car crashes.

Even my happy dreams have sticky endings.

Thank you for the happy and positive intel, and happy holidays to you too!

Good advise, Joanna. I very rarely remember my dreams, and those that I do remember -- well, they're pretty weird - which may explain a lot...

Very good Joanna, and also appreciate you are not a head shrink. It is not that I do not respect what they do, it is just that too much exposure to twisted cases definately affects their own sense of reasoning. Example Sigman Freud and the "penis envy theory" ~ personally, I believe he was really envious of vaginas and dreamed of being a women.

You have a point there! Very nice! Happy New Year!
