Are dreams just boggled memories and thoughts that are projected on to the screens in our subconscious minds? Could dreams be an insight to our future, or to our past lives, or a life that we have not yet lived? One main reason for these questions is to see if you can recall any dream that you have ever had. We all have dreams of people and places that we have never seen or been. If we have never been to some of these places in our dreams, and if we have never met some of the people in our dreams, then what was the cause for dreaming of these people and places, and where did they come from in the first place?
How would one begin to research the places and people in our dreams to see if he, she, or it are, were, or are yet to be real? Something must have implanted, into our subconscious mind, these so-called people and places we have never seen or been. What are dreams, where do they take us, and what do they represent? Dreams are figments, a dreamscape created by the mind, they take us to imaginary places of nonexistence, and they merely represent the person's wants and needs through an overactive imagination. The unexplored human mind is the starting point for the journey into the unknown. A better understanding of the mind is needed in order to fully comprehend its roll.
Many people believe that the human mind and the human brain are completely different entities, both separate from one another, and both with independent rolls, but both needing one another to work in harmony in order for humankind to pull through each day.
Have you ever heard the expression, “I could not make up my mind”? How could you not make up your mind? It is yours and you are in control of it. If we were not in control of our mind, everyone would remain motionless, in utter confusion, not understanding what to do, and the world would fall to absolute anarchy. Some people will also use the expression “I lost my mind.” How can people lose their mind? Moreover, if a person did lose their mind, where would it go, and in turn, how would you again find it? Many people believe the uses of these particular statements are in the capacity of excuses. People in all actuality do make up their mind, and their mind was with them all through this process, but some people are unsure if they made the right decisions or judgments, and they may even feel embarrassed or afraid, so they ponder upon it, and use these statements as their excuses. In addition, as science proves thus far, nobody has actually lost his or her mind in the since of misplacing it.
Some people believe that the mind, not the brain, controls our thought processes, which in turn controls our body's actions and reactions utilizing the brain as its command center. The brain takes the thoughts that the mind gives to it. Nerve impulses are generated by the brain caused by the mind's thoughts. These nerve impulses trigger our body to react to the thoughts through impulses generated by the brain based solely upon specific thoughts given to the brain by the mind. So one could say that the mind is in control of the brain, but the mind needs the brain in order to work properly, and the brain cannot work without the mind.
Everyone would like to believe that most people think before they react. Everyone is capable of making the right decisions before they react upon them. The problem is even though our mind gives us the capability to come up with a proper course of action, something happens to the proper action, and turns to something that could, should, or does get us into trouble. Why is this, and how could this happen? The answers to this question are personality, mood, and attitude; they interfere with the transition between the mind's thoughts and the brain's actions.
More people than we like to imagine walk on a thin line between sanity, being the good, and insanity, being the bad. When people are about to do something, they in some minute way have to use their mind to think about it before they use their brain to act upon the thought. Whenever the thought process is over, the course of action the brain decides to take depends on what frame of mind that individual is in. Being mad, sad, happy, stressed, afraid, mischievous, vengeful, etc. depict what course of action the brain may cause the person to take. This process is completed and the action taken before the person knows what he or she had done until it is too late. When this person realizes that what he or she had done may have been the wrong action, he or she may wonder how this could have happened, thenrealize that it is too late to reverse the action. This person will then struggle to make the best of a not-so-good situation, and he or she will be left wondering how he or she could have betrayed himself or herself.
