Having Some Fun
You may ask, "How can I dream creatively? Isn't dreaming creative by itself?" Well the answer is "yes" and "no." You see, dreams are part of the mind creating sometimes completely different worlds. However, there are ways of teaching yourself a few techniques to let you have a little fun with your dreams, as well as possibly learning something you never knew before or rather that you never knew that you knew. Dreams can sometimes help us out in ways that we don't realize, but those who have realized it have benefitted.
One of the biggest occurrences of creative dreaming that we can relate to is a dream of Lewis Carroll's. The complete story of Alice in Wonderland came to Carroll in a dream he had. Although Carroll's dream occurred during a period of sickness, the fact is that anyone can have a dream which could become what his did. All one needs in the creative imagination and the ability to put your dreams down on paper, as you would in a dream journal.
Do you realize what this could mean to all of us dreamers? This could mean that we don't have to spend our waking lives trying to think of a blockbuster idea for a movie or story. All we have to do is remember what we have dreamt and perhaps it will just be crazy enough to become a legendary story. The thing is that our dreams are usually closer to representing real life than we could imaging ourselves, since our subconscious mind tends to pick up a few of the little details our conscious mind leaves out.
We may not be aware of it, but we always have the answer to a problem. Sometimes we just don't know where to look. Other times we think we know the answer, but it ends up not producing an effective result. So what are we supposed to do? You guessed it, we take a look at it from the dreaming perspective. Often times we look too far into a topic when we can just "sleep on it." Yes, these sayings were created because they actually work. Some of the time we can get a direct answer from our dreams, by acting them out how we would in waking life. The other incidences we get a dream which we must interpret. Either way we have the answer to our problem.
Perhaps you have had an argument with a friend. That night you dream where you were acting a certain way, in could be that action that got you in the argument in the first place. If the cause of the problem doesn't present itself in this way, it will in another way. You just have to be able to notice and decipher what you dream is trying to tell you. We do have dreams for a reason, and that is to keep our bodies healthy. Whether it's coping with stress or plainly resting us up for another days activities. It's up to you whether you want your dreams to help you, or if you want your dreams to entertain you. Hopefully, you can find a comfortable medium.
