Some people dream, some don’t, or at least they don’t remember doing so.
But do dreams mean anything? Well, while people are convinced dreams are a form of messages received by forces we are unable to see or feel while wide awake, some scientists claim that dreams are simply a result of neuronal processes taking place within our brain.
While we are asleep, our brains are anything but.
Sometimes, dreams happen as a reflection of the day that passed, and other times they represent our fears. But what does it mean when we dream of a deceased person?
These dreams can be seen as part of the process of grieving or a transition that takes place in our own life. According to Healthline, it has to do with the latter.
These dreams are common when we experience certain changes, such as getting a new job, moving places, or meeting someone new.
What is most important than the dream itself, however, is how it make us feel.
Rubin Naiman, who has a Ph.D. in psychology, spent years of his life studying sleep patterns and habits. According to him, “Dream interpretation is about decoding the dream. It enlightens us and expands our awareness psychologically, [offering an] expansion of consciousness.”
So, dreaming of someone who is no longer alive may be related to the changes mentioned above and how those changes affect us.
”A lot of contemporary neuroscientists believe during REM sleep, the brain is involved in maintenance tasks, and it accidentally ‘kicks up dust,’ visually. At that end, dreaming is considered totally meaningless.” On the other hand he explains, “The other end is that dreaming is more substantial than waking. And we see this in ‘dream cultures,’ such as the indigenous people of Australia, who believe dreaming is intrinsic to our spiritual existence.”
Experts place these dreams into four categories.
- First, dreaming of a deceased person may be interpreted as the brain trying to work through the pain of the loss.
- If we hadn’t made amends with the deceased person before their passing, we may feel guilt and that might be the reason why they visit us in our dreams.
- According to Lauri Loewenberg, a dream analyst, we may be dreaming of a deceased person if we see some of their behaviors, such as substance abuse or else, in ourselves.
- There are experts who believe that these dreams represent a visitation from the deceased person, especially if we see them in a good condition in our dream, meaning they are well dressed or seem happy. If we feel good about the dream, it may mean that the deceased person says ‘Hello.’
No matter what we feel about dreams, the truth is that they offer something deep and meaningful. They often give us insight into the soul and our connection with the deceased person that we see in our dreams.
Unlocking the Complexity of this Heart-Wrenching Decision
When a man makes the difficult choice to leave his wife for another woman, the reasons behind it are often complex and multi-layered. In this article, we will explore some common factors that can lead to this challenging decision. Let’s dive deeper into the emotions and circumstances that may contribute to such a heart-wrenching choice.
Feeling appreciated is a fundamental need in any relationship, regardless of age. It’s about acknowledging and showing gratitude for your partner’s efforts. When a man feels unappreciated, unnecessary, or disrespected, it creates an emotional gap. This gap can drive him to seek validation and importance from another woman, ultimately straining the marriage.
Emotional intimacy is not just about physical connections. It’s about feeling understood, loved, and deeply connected to your partner. When emotional intimacy fades, a man may feel emotionally distant and detached. This can cause him to drift away and seek warmth, love, laughter, and respect elsewhere, finding solace in the company of another woman.
Sexual intimacy is more than just a physical act. It fosters feelings of attachment, trust, and commitment. When sexual intimacy diminishes, a void can be created, leading a man to look outside the marriage to fulfill his needs. Seeking an affair might be an attempt to reconnect on a sexual level, even if only for a short period.
As time passes, the initial excitement of a newlywed phase can fade. Routines settle in and life becomes busier, causing the spark to diminish. When a man feels that the marriage has become monotonous and lacks excitement, he may crave new experiences and passion. This desire for novelty and excitement can push him to seek these feelings with another woman.
These factors all contribute to a man’s decision to leave his wife for someone else, and it’s important to understand them. However, it’s equally important to remember that communication, appreciation, emotional and sexual intimacy, and keeping the relationship vibrant and exciting can help prevent such heart-wrenching decisions. By working together, couples can navigate these challenges and strengthen the bonds within their marriage.
