The mystery of dreams has long fascinated not only doctors, scientists and parapsychologists, but also ordinary people, far from science or supernatural things. A person spends a fair amount of his life in a dream, recovering both physically and mentally. And the pictures flickering before the eyes during a night's rest make us think about why they appear, and what we generally dream about.

Theories about what constitutes a dream have been advanced. Among them, one can meet the assumption that this is a way of the soul to travel to other dimensions, and the person’s ability to connect to the collective unconscious. Others simply do not attach much importance to dreams, considering them the echoes of daily experiences that the brain is trying to streamline while the human consciousness is turned off.

Under the influence of increasing interest in esoteric teachings in bookstores, the dream books took a strong position. Their first compilers conducted lengthy observations on how life events and paintings that a person sees in a dream are connected. They noticed that different people in similar situations have the same associations that can be dressed in symbols. In turn, characters can be ordered and a table of their meanings can be compiled. These studies formed the basis of dream books.

They can not be called pseudoscientific or quack books. In fact, they are statistical data, but, unfortunately, the numerous dream books that have come down to our time will help little in interpreting modern dreams. The fact is that since then much in the life of people has changed. Some characters have acquired a diametrically opposite meaning, and many things that used to be dreamed often often, now completely out of use.

In addition, at different geographical points, the same symbols can have different meanings. They are directly related to the culture and traditions of a particular nation. But you can still try to understand what we are dreaming. Many esotericists suggest going along the already established path of observation and accounting and compiling a personal dream book that would help interpret the events of your life.

To do this, it is recommended to keep a notebook and a pen by the bed and set an alarm at 5 in the morning. Dreams that have come after this time no longer matter, as the brain begins to switch from the unconscious to the conscious. Waking up on a call, you need to write down your dreams in detail. After that, record the events that occurred during the day, and then compare the records, trying to find a connection between them. After a while, you will be able to understand your notes and identify patterns.
