Dreams are Means of Conversation with the Invisible World
Dreams are seen by all. Everyone is familiar with the world of dreams. However, everybody does not know about the real implications and causes of these dreams. Actually, they are related to our sub-conscious mind. Many times, they warn us of the impending adversities in advance. Also, many people have got the solution to their problems through dreams. There are numerous such examples when people who were not getting success in some work, got the necessary guidance in their dreams.
Dreams are directly related to us. While dreaming, though our body is not active, our subconscious and unconscious minds remain fully active. Indeed, they may help us in removing the obstacles in our way or may give hints of the forthcoming circumstances. This means that our mind is so powerful that it comes to know of the future events in advance and conveys them to us through our dreams.
Once, the renowned Italian painter Leonardo Da Vinci was not able to think of any image to draw. In spite of trying hard, he was not getting anything which could please him. Then, one day in his dream, he saw a woman with a pleasant smile. That image was so clear in his mind that he painted it on the canvass. This painting was none other than the world-famous 'Mona Lisa.'
The renowned author Mary Shelley revealed about her popular book 'Frankenstein', that she saw the characters of the book in her dream. Similarly, Walter Hunt, the American scientist who invented the lock-stitch sewing machine, gave the credit of his invention to his dream. Before this invention, he used to keep thinking day and night about where he should do the hole in the needle. One day, he dreamt that he had been trapped between wild carnivores in the dense Amazon forests. After waking up, when he analysed his dream, he realized that the upper part of the spears of all the beasts had a hole, similar to that present in the needle. Through this dream, he got the solution to his problem.
The Nobel laureate Niels Bohr gave important information regarding the structure of the atom. One day, in his dream, he saw the nucleus of the atom, around which the electrons were revolving. Soon after waking up, he made the atomic structure. Renowned chemist Auguste Laurent also gave the credit of inventing the chemical formula of the complex chemical element benzene to his dream.
Stephanie Meyer, the author of the famous novel 'Twilight', saw a dream in which she got clues, based on which she wrote this book. Dr. Robert Stevenson created the famous fictional characters — 'Jekyll and Hyde' — on the basis of a dream. Stephen King, while taking a nap in a plane, dreamt that a famous writer had been abducted by one of his admirers. Upon waking up, he wrote about fifty pages of his novel 'Misery' at the airport itself.
Numerous examples exist when dreams either helped people in getting the solutions to their problems or gave a new direction or inspiration, which led to some discovery or research. Dreams are not a mere consequence of the frustration of the subconscious, but they are also a means of conversation with the invisible world, which, if properly understood, prove conducive in solving complex problems in which one has been entangled since years.
To understand the actual meaning of dreams, it is essential to know properly about our subconscious. Only then could one encode the message received from the other world. Purification of the intellect is the sole medium to know about our subconscious. As it purifies gradually, different aspects of the personality begin unfolding in the same proportion. Then, dreams don't remain a mere medium of conveying messages, but turn into messages themselves. There is only one way of delving deep into the secrets of the universe and that is — development of our personality, refinement of our intellect and purification of our actions.
