Dreams and philosophy: our nightly supernatural trips DREAMS AND PHILOSOPHY: OUR NIGHTLY SUPERNATURAL TRIPS
Dreaming is the most fascinating part of our sleep. This is a universal experience; we all dream. Those who say they never dream probably forget their dreams, for we all dream during REM sleep. This has been studied both biologically and psychologically.
There is no reason to believe that the basic structure of the dreams of primitive man was very much different from that of modern man's dreams. Of course the contents of the dreams would change with the passage of time—buildings, modes of transportation, food, clothing, customs, etc. kept on changing and will continue to change in the future. Naturally, the contents of dreams will be very much different a thousand years from now.
In spite of the changing contents, the basic format of dreams remains the same throughout the ages. The experience of dreams is universal. Whilst we are dreaming, we can experience things considered as supernatural in our real lives. For instance, we can, in a very short space of time, travel thousands of miles away and visit places sometimes totally strange to us. We may even be able to talk to relatives that are no longer with us. It is as if, during dreams, part of us can leave our bodies to experience all these unusual events and rejoin our bodies the moment we wake up. For most of us this is the only time in our lives that we can have these supernatural experiences.
Subconsciously these dream experiences give us some insight into the mystery of the spiritual world. All religions, despite different cultures and different social backgrounds, believe that some separable part of the human being is immortal. When the body dies, this immortal part may leave the body and live on. In Western society, this is known as die soul. Is the understanding of the soul made much easier as a result of the supernatural experience of our dreams night after night?
