In response to Austin

This post is a response to Austin's question: Do you think it would be nice to turn your dreams into reality sometimes?

I think that this idea is really interesting. Everyone has probably thought of this at some point and wishes that their dreams would really come true and turn into reality. But this is only true when we really like or enjoy our dreams. Of course we wouldn't want our bad dreams or nightmares to turn into reality! Dreams are just imagined (even though we don't really know exactly what they are) but a lot of the time they can seem so real you wake up and get confused as to what happened and what was just a dream. Sometimes dreams take your memories and morph them into your desires and what you really want to happen in real life. For example once I had a dream about someone I used to be best friends with but haven't seen this person in years. In my dream we were hanging out together and talking like no time had passed in between. Whether this is something I want to happen or just a memory of what someone said, it would be nice if I could turn it into reality. I have wished a lot of times that certain dreams would be real because the dreams that use my desires/wants make them happen into my ideal situation. I don't know if my dreams are just playing a trick on me or if maybe they could be telling me something that will happen and just hasn't happened yet.

Is it possible that some dreams are predicting the future instead of using the past or memories?
