Dreams have fascinated mankind for as long as life on earth has existed. In ancient times in Egypt, people with intense and realistic dreams were seen as blessed people with special intuition. Many of the Egyptian's dreams have been documented on papyrus. Egyptians believed that the best way to acquire divine revelation was through dreams. Some individuals even used to sleep on "dream beds" to receive wisdom from the gods.
These supernatural ideas were abandoned by scholars in the 19th and 20th centuries. Dreams were presumed to provide insights into the fundamentals of the mind. At its core, Sigmund Fred's theory stated that while our conscious minds sleep, our unconscious minds produce images that can give us insight into what we are really thinking and what we really want.
In my personal opinion, I think that most dreams are just random and have little to no significance to our lives. Some dreams can make you more aware of your fears and make you realize what you really want in life. Dreams put you into situations you most likely won't experience in the real world but can really make you think.
Do you think dreams are meaningful?
Do your dreams come true?

Great topic choice Sarah and one that has not been done before so +5. Be sure to reply to student comments which is worth 30 points. You posted this two days late as well. Your summary is well done though!
I have heard that some of your dreams become true eventully, but some of my dreams are absoulty stuipd and irrevelent. But personally I think dreams are just stuipd and it is a mind trick then you start to overthink about your dream to make it seem real.
I think that dreams can be meaningful in a sense that relates to events in your life at the time. I do not think that dreams have any ability to predict the future in any sense. I think that if people see any connections between events that happen and their dreams, it is completely coincidental.
Personally, I don't think that dreams are completely meaningful, but they might be a bit meaningful especially if there are persons involved which you love or which you think allot of. It is sometimes scary when you dream something, and this exactly happens.
I think dreams have meanings just like our normal thought. I took an AP Psychology class last year, and I learned a lot about dreams because of this. There are many theories on dreams and if they really mean something. Personally, I think it shows a combination of our brain processing multiple thoughts at the same time.
I think some dreams can have meaning to them depending on how they are related to your everyday life. I don't remember most of my dreams, so they have little to no significance to me. The ones that I do remember usually are about people or things currently going on in my life. I find it amazing how our brain is able to produce these images and how some people are able to manipulate and lucid dream.
I think that dreams could mean something or they could have no meaning at all. I usually forget my dreams and they aren't something I think about in my daily life. I don't think anything in my dream has ever been exactly the same in person, but sometimes they kind of relate.
I do think that dreams can be meaningful and I think they might not be. I think it depends. Dreams are made by your subconscious. I don't think any of my dreams have come true but I don't remember many of them. I still think they have meaning though because of the way they can make you feel.
In my opinion dreams have a meaning but these meanings are not related to our daily lives because dreams are basically our brain cleaning memory and trying to get into a sleeping stage.
I think there might be some dreams based on events in your life but honestly I never even remember my dreams so I do not know. But I think that dreams do not come true. I think they probably could but if they do it is just by luck but I am not really sure if there meaningful.
