a few days back while i was sitting and relaxing on my sofa at home, a reader's digest lying on the table caught my attention...could see a lot of interesting write ups in that but one thing that grabed my attention was the cover story (if i remember correctly) on the explanation of dreams. dreams: a topic i can safely claim to call universally interesting. a mystery unsolved...no matter what all studies are conducted...what all theories are made...what all speculation is done...the fact remains that dreams are a reflection of our lives, be it past or present, though there are different ways of putting down the same theory.ya...coming back to the article...it refered to dreams as a rehearsal of something we may have trouble adapting to...they are a sort of defense mechanisms against our worst fears.interesting theory i must say...it seems to have cleared the clouds of ambiguity for that moment atleast. at;least i won't wonder why i get to see those extrordinarily scary dreams at times. never knew that comprehending your dreams enjoy such deep regard in medical fraternity...after reading the article, it seemd that any mental ailment could be cured only if i knew my dream well...easy na!!!!!!!
infact the author had mentioned ways to recall your dream better and also to consiously dream of certain things to find an answer to your psychological problems. can't figure out what drives the people to go ahead with such researches...is it there full time job or just a passion... people ike me do find it interesting to read these things one in while but don't know how far one can maintain his interests in such vague concepts which may or may not extend beyond theories.
coming back to dreams, so i accept them as a rehearsal...sounds convincing...but how about the feeling of " deja vu" , there must e many explanations for it too...i may not have written it here had i been more learned but...nevertheless...why does a situation make me feel that i have seen the exact scene before (can even identify the colors at times), is that also a defense mechanism to make me feel more confident that i m capable of handling a particular situation coz i have witnessed it before...ut sometimes it happens with very regular activities like watching tv with family which may not require a defense mechanism...or is it simply a wish or may be fear of facing a particular situation which makes us believe that we have seen it before.i may get an explanation as interesting as the one for dreams some day...though there will always be speculation...anywayz...it still remains an interesting fact to know...
