Some analysts say that dreams
are the messages from our unconscious inner worlds. Although we cannot
choose our dreams or construct their scripts, while dreaming, we can
interact with various people, places or things in the dream world. A
dream is like a hallucination that is also a fantastical journey in our
sleep that either relieves us of pressure or tries to detract us from a
certain habit. But whether you believe it or not, besides these
functions, sometimes dreams can provide us with a glimpse into the
future……
I dream of different things
and different people in different places everyday.
There are thousands of various
combinations in my dreams, but one curious dream stands
out. When I was still in high school, one night I dreamed of my student
teacher. Although I hadn』t met her for a long time, I still remembered
her uniform smile. In the dream,
she was smiling like usual. Although
the recollection of the dream
had faded, I can still remember clearly that she seemed to enjoin me to
do something. She didn』t appear for a long time, but it』s
strange to say,
her figure was
ineffaceable. It stayed
in my mind.
The next day, when I was
preparing to go to school with my parents, one of my neighbors came over
and gossiped like usual. Suddenly, she changed the subject and said,
「Do you know? Just last night your elementary school teacher died in a
car accident.」 I was surprised and finally understood that last night
her coming-in to my dream actually was an impartation of death. And
perhaps those words she told me, which I couldn』t understand, were the
desires that she could not attain, the wishes she wanted me to fulfill
for her. As I thought of such notions, her figure in my dream grew much
more vivid.
As the pace of life in our
contemporary world gets faster and faster, we are gradually losing touch
with our inner world and the possible sixth sense that some of us may
have. Fortunately, we still have our dreams and they are still full of
enigmatic puzzles. They are our gateway to inexplicable power.
