The power of your subconscious in your dreams

By Mike Moritz

**Before you continue, understand that these are thoughts of mine that pertain to ideas that I have regarding psychological point of views. These posts will be fairly short. Also understand that the things that you read are in my personal Psychology notebook that I keep for ideas like these.


What is the cause of us dreaming about other people we may know or not know?

The idea that I would like to present is that I feel that there are things about our lives that only our subconscious know about us. For example, if we quickly see something, just something for a flash, a split second, we're likely not to process that expirience and thus forget about it rather quickly. But if I had the power to search through the files in your subconscious, I could find that expirience that you had despite you not remembering it. Our subconscious knows things about us that even we don't know about ourselves. It knows our true feelings, our wants, our likes, needs, passions, and desires and on and on. It sounds so simple, but there are times when we just don't know what we want or what we need or what makes us tick, and that's okay.

And I say that because what I am stating is that eventually, someTHING will happen that will cause you to realize what it is you want or what it is you need. And at that point, you reach this sense of satisfactions of "I figured it out!" and the "light-bulb" turns on.

Your subconscious keeps telling you something in the form of a dream, as my idea goes, but you don't realize what is is until that event happens to trigger it.

When you're asleep, your subconscious is in full motion, taking over your thought process and releasing thoughts that you would not realize when your awake.

Now, just a few days ago, I received the much anticipated, new Macklemore album, The Heist, in the mail and I have listened to it a few times through while also focusing on the songs that I did not have as singles before the album came out. But before today, I had yet to really "connect" with a song. I hadn't listened to any one of the new songs enough times yet so I really didn't know if I liked any of them.

When we listen to a song for the first time, it is not likely to mean as much to us as after we have listened to it a few times and have figured out the mood, lyrics, type of passion; almost like a new friend. There's a period at the beginning of every friendship that is just a process of getting used to and getting to know that person. So it's the same with a new song. It takes a little to connect with it on the emotional level that makes us love our favorite songs.

 This is where I have tight boundaries with personal things on the blog, I kept having a re-accuring dream of this thing, and it just so happened that when I sat down after school today and started playing a song from Macklemore's new album, of all things, it immediately hit me and made me realize EXACTLY what it is that I want and this overwhelming feeling took me over. So overwhelming that I literally said "stop" without even thinking about it, it just came out of my mouth. I had realized that these dream were saying something and that this event made me realize what my subconscious was getting at.

By the way, I HIGHLY recommend The Heist.
