“Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.”
– Thomas Edison
I can remember as a kid I would have this recurring dream where I would levitate my body and then fly through the sky, passing over buildings and people I knew. It was incredible and so vivid. Unfortunately, I haven’t had that dream for a really long time. But is it possible to bring it back?
From an evolutionary standpoint, we have to wonder why dreams have survived for so long – they must provide some type of survival mechanism.
Research is revealing insight into how dreams can actually make us healthier and more productive. Some research suggests, dreams are a way to work out problems and organize your memories. Think about how much information we process every day. We really don’t have the time or emotional strength to thoroughly process all this while we’re awake. Dreams allow us the opportunity to do just that. They act like a filing cabinet, organizing everything that went on in your day, allowing us to be more productive the following day. Interestingly, you can induce dreams to solve problems, influence nightmares, and even dream about a specific person or problem.
