The Nun's Priest's tale deals with the importance of dreams. Think about dreams you've had in the past. What do you think is the importance of your dreams? Do you feel like they give you warnings or premonitions at times? Discuss a dream that you feel like was important to your life in some way. For example, before school starts every year, I always have dream set in school. These dreams are usually bad in some way. They end up making me nervous about the upcoming school year. Your response must be at least 100 words, and you only need to respond to me.

I don't believe that they are a supernatural way of telling you about the future or anything. This probably stems from me not being a superstitious person. I think that dreams are the process of our minds deciding what to remember and what to throw out that we have experienced in the day. This is why when you think of things a lot during a day they can manifest themselves inside dreams. The dreams I remember most would be the ones where I was alone, like in a field or in some dangerous place. The worst ones, the most terrifying to me are the dreams where I'm alone in the ocean slowly drowning.

I believe dreams are just a review of some thoughts you've had. I don't believe a dream is a first warning of something to come but it's a reminder that you need to keep it in mind. This also means that you need to watch out and do something according to the dream or push the dream away because you've already thought about it. I don't recall a lot of dreams that have made a huge impact on me. But usually my dreams are from something I've regretted or a decision I wish I could have back and these dreams just reinforce that you know you did something wrong.

Some people believe that dreams can give you insight into the future. Personally I do not see eye to eye on that. I don't believe that dreams mean anything. I do enjoy dreaming but it doesn't affect my everyday life. Honestly most of the time I don't remember my dreams. The only thing that I could say is meaningful in my dreams is the people in them. I do remember have friends and family members in some of my dreams. But what I did with them never happened in real life. For instance I had a dream I won the lottery but in reality that will never happen.

I believe that dreams are a way for your mind to go over things you've thought about or experienced recently. In psychology we discussed how people have dreams when they enter a deep sleep which happens after sleeping for several hours. This leads to the conclusion that dreams come from the subconscious part of your mind and come from things you've already seen. Like when I watch a scary movie it would most likely lead to having bad dreams. Whereas if I were to do something fun or interesting before I go to sleep, I would be more likely to have an interesting or good dream. I think most of my worst dreams are metaphorical and have nothing to do with anything I've experienced.

Dreams are very important. You can have one dream, or a thousand. My most important dream is to grow up and be successful. I don't want to look at the bad things in life anymore, I need to keep my dreams a reality. I dream of a better me. I dream of a more positive lifestyle. I dream to become a veterinarian, this is my dream job. I don't believe a dream is a warning, I believe a dream is what you want or what you see in life.

Most of my dreams sum up what I have experienced in the past days or weeks. My dreams never predict a future event, but tell past experiences all mashed into one setting. Many important points in a setting usually reference past conversations, shows, or things I have seen or heard. For instance, I recently had a dream of me and a few friends in school as a SWAT team broke into the building looking for snow. That past week I had just gotten back from a skiing trip in Kansas City and heard about police officers breaking into a house looking for a suspected murderer. This is an example of how my dreams mirror past events that I witness 1st and 2nd hand.

I don’t think I’ve had any philosophical dreams although I do believe they can happen. I’ve seen multiple times in the Bible how God sends a dream to warn someone. I have had certain dreams that have come true. Just small ones of a specific situation that happens later and only then do I remember my dream. Recently I’ve been very stressed with things going on at home and it has shown up in my dreams. With the recent threat of a school shooting and things I talk about during the day, I’ve had multiple dreams about being shot. While I was making the posters for the poetry project, Laynie asked me what someone’s name was. It was Anna. This insignificant conversation appeared in my dream. I was being shot by some random guy and Laynie was there but her name was Anna. It was a strange dream. Two nights ago I dreamt that Dalton Kokmeyer shot me four times here at school and no one would help me. I feel that this dream is just an explosion of my feelings of stress and feeling that I have to do everything alone. I wake up and just have the weirdest feeling.

There are several different views on dreams. Depending on what stage of sleep you are in, your dreams can be different. I believe that some dreams can be meaningful and insightful to your future, but some may not. I have had several weird dreams that I never see coming true. For instance when I was little I had a dream that I was skydiving off of a building and forgot my parachute. Luckily I only fell out of bed. When I am anticipating long weekends of work I often have dreams about how the weekend will turn out. Parts of the dreams come true, but some that are off the wall don't, and I'm fine with that.

As you may have noticed, my philosophy on life is much different than everyone else. When it comes to dreams I am torn. From a strictly psychological standpoint dreams are either a reflection on the day or past events or allowing us to act out things we think throughout the day that we couldn't normally do. But I also think that dreams are an outlet into our future. I have a few different theories about life and how we live it and one is that we are actually just reliving our lives we have already lived and when we dream about the future, have deja vu, or anything of that matter we are just jumping ahead of the cycle we are on in remembering. Time is a relative form of spacetime and what we perceive as living our entire lives and what feels like years could actually only be a millisecond of another life like our life flashing before our eyes.

I rarely have any dreams and if I do have dreams I can only remember like a few of them. I believe however that dreams can have a possible meaning for something in the future. One dream that I can remember is when I was standing in front of this sports car and it was mine, but when I got in there was no pedal. This is also a dream that I have had more than once so I hope it does have some meaning in the future to me being successfully.

I believe that dreams are made from occurrences that happened in the day you just completed. I also believe that some people may also have a gift to where they are able to predict the future like a medium using dreams. I personally don’t have that gift but I don’t doubt some people can do it. My most strange dream is when I was chased out of my house by Freddy Krueger but I couldn’t figure out how to run or scream. As soon as I saw him run after me I leaned forward as far as I could and then I all of a sudden learned how to run. Every stride felt like 50 meters.

Studies have shown that dreams are a way of expressing the things that have happened in the recent past, and your mind is just recollecting them in a different fashion. Sometimes, dreams about stuff that has recently happened can calm you down, but sometimes they can make a bad situation worse. I had a few recurring dreams while my mom was in the hospital last year, and they certainly did not help the situation at all- they terrified me. However, dreams can also be entirely nonsensical and have no connection to anything that's ever happened in your life. Those are the ones that stick with me. I had a dream once that I was swallowed by a life-sized worm, and that was back when I was 8 or 9. I still remember every detail.

I think dreams reflect what you are feeling. If you go to bed sad then you are probably more likely to have a sad dream same with being happy. I think in a way everyone can control how their dreams are because it’s based off your emotions. However, I don’t think they really have some hidden meaning or that it’s some sort of sign. When I was younger I would watch Scooby Doo before bedtime and on those nights I would have a nightmare that those monsters were chasing me around. Of course as a child I was scared, but now it’s comical. As you get older your dreams become more realistic to life, at least for me. So then it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not while having the dream.
