Thread: mmm mmm shakespeare

question.....................
is it wierd to dream of analyzing shakespearean literature complete with an in depth class lecture and visual aids? ya i did that...








I can now say i have a profound understanding for Midsummer Night's Dream :^S

haha . good for you. your mind studied for you

I've studied Spanish in my sleep before, and actually had entire dreams spoken in Spanish (very simple Spanish, I must admit).

Do you think you have a better understanding of A Midsummer Night's Dream after your dream?

I can't see how anything could be taken for weird if it can shed light on something for you.
So many people use their lucid dreams to play and have fun, as we all should. But IMO, we also should use the lucid dream as a tool for learning and self help.
It is your ticket to your inner most thoughts, reformatted to process with our conscious mind later.
To have that level of lucidity to create a lecture & class would be more weired to me if you were not to use it for your advantage.
GO myfreakish_nature!

I thought that you could only dream of things you already know...

Otherwise how would the knoledge get into your mind...

unfortunetly love, this wasnt really a lucid dream. It was all manifested in my head at random i guess. :^S

but hey, it was fun, ill admit. a little provacative, but fun.

Well I have read the play before, it was 3 or 4 weeks ago methinks. But I was a little surprised, I learned a lot about the nature of the play and you know, its insides and such. (which will help, ironically im taking a class on shakespearean lit nxt qt, yayy!!)

the basic purpose of a dream is really to teach us. the subconisous mind tends to read into things a lot easier than the concious one, which is why it makes such an awsome shrink for people (and sooo much cheaper). In this case, I guess i just read into this play a little more and decided to retain it on both sides of reality.

To know the absolute truth you may not be able to. Unless prophetic dreaming is possible. That has yet to be proven, that I am aware of.
Our minds, the human mind, has the capacity to reason. With this capacity we gain other capabilities. We can plan ahead or foreshadow. We are able to construct a position that has not yet happened. Although the exactness of it may not be 100% true, our minds take what they already know from past experiences (mistakes and events) and can construe a fairly accurate assumption of unknown knowledge.
