ever since i first read about the idea of the "collective unconscious" i've been intrigued by the it. this site is designed as a fun way to share and interact with the dreams of you and others
Dreams are influenced by the waking experiences of the Dreamers' lives. It therefore stands to reason that people who live in the same place and go through very similar experiences in the waking world would have similar building blocks for their unconscious to work with at night.
Though they may start with similar materials, the mind is a highly personal thing. How the unconscious of the individual uses these stimuli and what it makes with them is what interests us. Though each Dream may be different, there may be common threads.
This is important because many psychological studies over the years have shown that large scale, complicated decisions are made better after unconscious deliberation. Therefore, by documenting the Dreams of various areas, we hope to obtain new perspectives and insights into how the conscious and unconscious lives of all humanity can be improved.
All kinds of dreams! Daydreams, Night Dreams, Good Dreams, Nightmares, Exciting Dreams, and even mundane dreams! For example, did you dream last night that your dog told you they wanted a different brand of dog food? Log it!
Did you have a dream the next night that your dog told you they wanted a different brand of dog food? Log that one too!
What about this: the next night you dream your dog told you they want a different brand of dog food? At this point you should not only log that dream, but probably strongly consider buying a different brand of dog food!
You listen to your unconscious when it tells you that you're hungry and you're better off for it. You listen to your unconscious when it tells you that you need sleep and you're better off. Many schools of psychology, including those of Freud and Jung, acknowledge that Dreams can be indicative of psychic needs and desires.
By listening to your needs, you can only benefit!
Howdy! I'm a regular old Hamtramck MI resident! I'm no master psychologist, but you don't have to be a master cobbler to take a survey of local shoes! I'm an easy going guy who want to improve the lives of the people around me! Here's a picture of me in a field:
C'mon, don't be mean
