What is a meaningless dream?

Ancient people regarded dreams as sacred things, mysterious dreams as gods' dreams, and things more important than reality. The Shang and Zhou emperors always asked good or bad luck in their dreams. This superstition of dreams has been affecting the whole feudal era, and the harm is quite long. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Song Ming occasionally dreamed that the satrap Liu Kui rebelled. The awakened emperor immediately put the satrap to death, and the unlucky satrap died at the last minute, not knowing where he was wrong.

Western psychologists get rid of the superstitious color hanging over dreams and attribute dreams to the reflection of real life. The material of dreams comes from the spiritual life based on reality. No matter how strange a dream looks, it always looks for material from the external world we observe or existing thoughts. In other words, dreams must come from what people have experienced. After clarifying the scientific source of dreams, western psychologists have also fallen into some confusion. They think that dreams are always meaningful, but people can't understand its true meaning on the surface. Some people go to a psychologist for consultation with dreams that they don't understand. Masters can always get to the bottom of it and connect your dreams with your life experience, situation and life, which is as far-fetched as fortune-telling. This kind of dream interpretation is very common in books about dreams published today. We should clearly distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of western psychologists in the study of dreams, and we can't accept them all.

It can be considered that many dreams are meaningless. This truth can be clarified by the subconscious mind. Because the subconscious mind is very active in dreams, a large number of subconscious minds weave various stories in dreams. Remember, the subconscious is chaotic. Some subconsciousness is just what dream thinking needs, so it becomes a valuable "inspiration" to supplement thinking. There are also some subconscious minds that are contrary to the ongoing dream thinking, but their appearance destroys the ongoing thinking, so there will be incomprehensible strangeness in dreams, which makes people feel uneasy. There are more subconscious minds that have nothing to do with the ongoing dream thinking and cannot be connected to make up a story. Why do we dream a lot but remember very little is because the messy combination of the subconscious mind is meaningless. From this perspective, most people's dreams are meaningless. If you encounter inexplicable scenes in your dreams, you don't have to be depressed or afraid.
