Dreams – aren’t they fascinating?
Sometimes, they feel like magical adventures. Other times, they leave us wondering, “What was that all about?”
Why Do We Dream?
As per Ayurveda, dream start in the soul (Atma) and are visualised by the mind. When you are asleep, it’s time for your conscious mind to take a break. But your subconscious mind? It stays active, sorting through unresolved thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This is where it comes from—an intricate dance between your soul and mind.
Dreams, as described in Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita, are vast and complex, offering insights into our inner world.
The 7 Types of Dreams in Ayurveda
Ayurveda categorizes dreams into seven fascinating types:
1. Dreams of things you have seen
These are like replays of your day. Did you watch a movie or visit a bustling market? You might dream about it. Or you might see a person in your dream you met during the day or talked about.
2. Dreams of things you have heard about
Heard a spooky ghost story or an inspiring tale? Don’t be surprised if it pops up in your dream.
3. Dreams of things you have experienced
These come from past events – happy memories or even old fears resurfacing.
4. Dreams born from pure imagination
Sometimes, your mind creates its own stories, weaving dreams out of creativity. These are generally clueless. You can sometimes laugh in the morning at the weirdness of your dream last night.
5. Dreams influenced by the universe
According to Ayurveda, cosmic energies can impact your dream. These are subtle messages from the universe.
6. Dreams arising from emotions
When emotions like fear, anger or joy dominate, they shape your dreams.
7. Dreams due to your Dosha
Now, this is the most fascinating one. Your Dosha – Vata, Pitta, or Kapha – can influence the type of dreams you have. Let’s explore this in detail.
