What Dreams Are Made Of?
I have had some crazy dreams...there was one about Willie Nelson and Val Kilmer...a recurring one that I was chased around my hometown church by a group of witches who wanted to curse me when I was a kid...a recent one where I jerked myself awake after dreaming that I was pushed off of the Grand Canyon...etc.
So, I personally waver back and forth on what dreams might really mean, why we have them, and what I believe when it comes to their significance. But I am no different from most scientists, philosophers, psychologists, and psychics...very few of whom also have definitive answers. So, since none of us really can be certain, I am curious to know what you think...what are dreams really made of and what is their significance?

Well Ms.Crabtree, I think that dreams are made from our minds. I think we dream because it represents what we want. Like if we were to dream about good grades, I think that it's because you want good grades or want something to be proud of. I think people who don't dream probably already have everything they wanted. Maybe not, but a possibility.
Ha! FIRST POST! The significance of dreams are that they affect the way we think or feel about the daily things in our lives. I think that dreams affect what we do. The events that we've dealt with or gone through as individuals! What we desire and what is most important to people in life. In my dreams, I've seen and watched with my own eyes in REM sleep ( rapid eye movement ) that I could do so much more than I thought possible, to realize my unconscious/unrealized feelings of fear or love and motivation. This what I think.
Wow, Ms., your dream seems... adventurous. I've had some reoccuring dreams a while back. Pushed off the Grand Canyon? Jee, that sounds extreme.Haha. I'd be freaked out if I had a dream where I would be pushed off the Grand Canyon, HAHAHAHA!
I'm guessing that the significance of a dream maybe can somehow relate to your life. In the past, future, or even present. I think our dreams, whatever it may be, can have some sort of purpose. Maybe you just have to think deeply about everything you know, and you may know what it's trying to relate too. Well, I'm not quite sure, but, it's just a thought.
i had a really weird last night... i wuz pregnant and i shot myself when my water broke cuz i didnt wanna go thru childbirth.. it wuz so freakin ... yeah and then the next scene i wuz alive but there wuz blood all over me and my boyfriend wuz holding me up, and this chick had my baby in her arms and it wuz soooo little. then a doctor ran up to me and wuz like 'oh, we're not done yet! u have another baby inside u!' i wuz like 'WHAT?! I HAVE TWINS!?' then yeah thats all i remember.
but i seriously have the most random dreams, and they're always repeating themselves. like most dreams i have they repeat themselves atleast twice but its like stretched between long periods. and its really weird cuz even when im in the dream i knew i had the dream before.
so yeahhh thats quite interesting. :D
I believe every dream has it's own significance. I dreamt that a huge meteor had struck the earth. Buildings were on fire. Humans were burned to death. It was a horrific scene. I had my neice, who just recently turned 1 month, with me. A moment later, those who had died from the fire came back from the dead. They're ZOMBIES! All I could do was run away and hide. What could my dream mean? Could I be having a dream about my survival instinct? Could it be a prophecy??
i think that dreams are signs or visions of the future they might not come real but they would in a different way.
My dreams are usually weird. If you want to know about them, refer to http://www.ohnoesnancy.we.bs/123108.html on the dates january07 and january08. (:! I think my dreams are what I think about. Like, I think a lot about the mall, Hollister/Abercrombie models, awesomeriffic people like Kae & Jonathan Xiang. Well yeah. Other people are just people from who I know from memory. I am pretty a random thinker so like, I dream about random things other times. Like last night, I dream that a dude ruined my PSP even more (even though the buttons don't work) and then I was like yelling at him and his mom came and then gave me 200 dollars for a new PSP. Then I happen to come to the back of some room and saw baby kittens and rats that were smaller then the size of my hand. Well. Then I went to a building that was like so tall, and went to the bakery inside with someone I think and then like we ate. And then I ate that one flan or something and that was my dream! I guess it means that I am hungry, and I need a new PSP. I am not sure about the baby cats and rats. I guess I want a new cat as well x_x" And they'll eat the rats!?!!! They were hatching from eggs. It isn't suppose to happen! I believe that dreams happen based on what you have in your memory or mind.

I think dreams are actually related to life in general. I think when you are about to fall asleep and you are thinking about something, sometimes it carries on into your dreams. I think random dreams have to do with random things in your life.
I don't have anything else to say now but when I do, i'll get back to you.
Hey Ms.Crabtree!
From what I read in the websites, in a dream we can act like a different person than we usually do in our waking life. Some researchers believe that dreams help us tackle the stress we have in our wwaking life. They also believe that dreams are a role in our well-being and health. They also so researched and believe, if someone is woken up before they enter the dream state, the next day they can be disoriented, depressed, or even quick tempered. For this study, this why they believe dreams are important to our health and well-being.

i dont have alot of dreams so how do i do this progect!!
Hi!! Ms.Crabtree!!
I think DREAMS are very mysterious and enigmatic. Nobody know the exactly reason why we have a dream. I had a recurring dream for only two days when I was six years old. I kept going up in a building, and then I found the people right there had a very scary and terrible face. It made me turned going down and I tried to find the exit. I discovered that there wasn't a exit........ I kept going down and down, and waited for the day that they finally caught me...
Before this dream, I have had a completely differnet dream, but I couldn't remember it after. In the dream theory, they explained it as a sleep cycle.It can be divided into four stages. Dreams can be happened in any of the four stage.
Actually, I believe that "dreams" are the messages from some "people" who want to tell me something but they can't show up right in front of me. These "people" can be animals, ancients, gods, or even it is myself. So I think it is very important for me to understand the dreams. Besides, it also can be the sign of the future. Anyway, this is just what I thought about dreams... I hope you can have a good sleeping time and have a good dream today!!

haha Ms.Crabtree you had MYCLONIC DREAMS (myclonic dreams are fun) it was so weird because last night i stay up until like 1:00am eating orange Sour ones(helps me go to sleep). in my dream i was in this restroom that was really big and big! and i don't know why when i smell it i was like i can smell that this is really expensive(probably because i watch this one drama)And then it was so dark because it was a huge restroom and i didn't wanted to waste electricity so i turn it off. And i ran to this purple-ish black hole. Then i was like in Malaysia eatign oranges O_O haha Then there was a flash scene of Shugo Charas I was Ikuto and like i was flying and jumping in the air and i fell off my bed and then i awoke and it was 7:30 that's why i was almost almost late to school. SIGHT fun fun dream:D
Well, I think that dreams are merely mismatched images that your eyes and ears have taken in during the day and that are put back together by your brain in a somewhat jumbled, confusing way. Dreams have no importance in life. They don't tell the future, they don't help you figure problems out, they don't tell you what you should do, and they don't reveal things about who you are. They are simply a way your mind processes information and refreshes while you sleep.
whaddya think? do you agree with my opinion or diagree? why?
i almost never dream and when i do i have nightmares
Hey ms. crabtree its me jorge from 4th peiod, i think dreams are very important. I think a person dreams because either the person is under heavy stress or they just have alot of imagination.They might not be able to feel this stress but i think the body its self can. The reason why i say that is because i usually dream when im tired. If im not tired i usually never dream. Rarely do i have a dream when im not tired. I think that dreams are very important and to try and describe or explain a dream is very hard to do its not im possible but you just have to really thing about it.
WeLl I tHiiNk ThAt DrEaMs HaVe SoMeThInG tO dO wItH tHe ThInGs YoU tHiiNk AbOuT bEfOrE yOu Go ToO sLeEp....

Well Ms.crabtree i think dream are made by are mind and that when we think somthing is going to happen we dream it instead of happing in real life .or probly are dreams are trying to tell use somthing that what i think dreams are all about<3
I think dreams all have different meanings. Having a nightmare means that your bad in nutrition and health, disapointments and failures in business.
