How do we interpret our dreams?

Dreams are mental processes, symbol representation of thoughts conveyed by our subconscious minds. We all dream, but we don't all remember our dreams, and those of us who do, remember them because it's a precautious dream or because of the present consciousness of our state of mind before the dream.

Although we do dream while we are awake (day dreaming) it is not the same when we're at sleep. When we're at sleep the mind has total control of the dream, and the memory is stored in our subconscious mind.

Dreams are like paintings, the symbols that are painted in dreams are brushed by our subconscious mind. Our dreams are sometimes synonymous to our future experiences in life; it reveals to us what is yet to be known. It is a direct symbolic representation of our mental self.

Dreams are visions which must be carefully decoded so that the true meaning of the dream is exposed. Otherwise the dreamer who's the dream intended for will be left clueless, unaware of the symbolic meaning of the dream. However, our dreams are not always intended for us, sometime we dream for those we care about or for the society we belong in.

We may want to ask ourselves why is it that we can go for months without remembering our dreams, and out of a blue comes one that we remember. Since we dream all the time, this seems like an important question to ask.

Do we remember our dreams because we are more conscious now than before or it is simply coincident? The lather is rather not an option because no one dream is a coincident.

We may become more conscious of our surroundings, and through meditating, we can prepare our minds to remember our dreams, but it is never out of coincident that we remember our dreams.

However, I honestly think that is an accurate statement to say that our dreams are mathematically formulated; every symbol represents a numerical value. Those of us who are aware of such phenomenon know what the symbols represent, and the significant of their association.

For simplicity purposes, we can begin by associating every color with a numerical value. For example, we've already figured that we can represent the color blue with 0000FF & green with 339900 and so on. Those are hexadecimal numbers that we have carefully chosen to associate colors with.

Well, unlike colors dreams can also be interpreted by using numbers, except that in dream numerical values are assigned base on symbols. Although in dreams colors are significant, it is the action
