Explain to me how that works.


Good point...my wording's pretty bad in the poll! I guess what I meant is your subconscious mind telling the more conscious part of your mind something. Like one part of your mind trying to show a message to the other, in a way, if that makes any sense.

For instance there might be something that's bothering you or that your subconscious mind realises/noticed but your conscious mind isn't aware of it, so your subconscious mind is trying to tell you about that through dreams.

Sorry for the bad explanation, I'm kind of muddled today.

My dreams are so weird. I really do not think they are reality, nor do I think they are particularly significant.
