A dream is an unconscious activity of our brain that appears when we are asleep, and might become conscious if we wake up suddenly for instance. Thus, we might remember some dreams we have made, but generally, we recall it when it has been traumatizing: death of a relative, fear, anguish might be reasons that awake us.

The remembering of our dreams also depends on the stage of your sleep. That is to say that if your sleep is very deep and you wake up, you would not recall it easily, whereas if your sleep is in a light stage, you have more chances to recall it if you wake up.

Dreams -even if, sometimes, they turn to be bad dreams- has most often a benevolent, reassuring meaning and symbolic. People associate the dream with the possibility to imagine yourself in a pleasant situation. Dreaming is the freedom for our imagination to express its fantasies in the greatest intimacy, and even unconsciously. We do not control our dreams, and that is why they are beautiful, for they have this unrealistic side and are often revealing our idealistic view of the world.

The surrealistic art movement used the dream as a primary source of inspiration. Some writers (Louis Aragon, André Breton...) organized meetings where they provoked sleep. While they were barely coming out from their sleepy state -which one had plunged them in an unconscious state-, they hurried to write down in an automatic way what their mind could recall. Hence, they got their inspiration from their dreams, and their work is deeply marked with fantasizing.

Some psychoanalysts, like the famous Freud, gave the dreams a rational explanation, even if an analysis is needed to decode them. According to Freud's theory, dreams would be the expression of our unconscious desires, that could be realized unconsciously in our dreams.

So, if you wish to play fantasizing games, go look at our selection, you may find yourself in an awaken dream!
