Over the past years many have interpreted dreams and have found a common type of dream. Having an understanding as to the different types of these dreams can lead you to have a better understanding to successfully gain an insight into and interpret your dreams.

Daydream
We all have daydreams where we are not actually asleep but we are living in a moment of our imagination. Some daydreams may be a fantasy about another place or moment in time. This daydream allows our minds to rest, to remain calm and to consider what could be.

Recurring Dream
As we have discovered generally, a dream is trying to tell us something, our subconscious is sending a message to our conscious state. What that something is, we have to work out for ourselves. Now the recurring dream is saying to us, “Hey – I am trying to tell you something here and you are ignoring me”.

The recurring dream replays and often takes off where it left the night before. Looking at these types of dreams you can often remember the theme of the dream and able to relate it to your life. Once the dream message has been addressed you will often find that the recurring dream will cease as the situation has been resolved.

Nightmare
Violent and disturbing dreams are often referred to as a nightmare.

Many children have a nightmare as do some adults. Often these types of dreams are re-living a traumatic event in your life or chronic situation that you were involved in. These types of dreams are common in returning servicemen from war torn countries, being involved in a traffic accident or suffering from some form of addiction dependency.

Often these types of dreams can be overcome by providing treatment to the cause of the trauma and medical professionals and counsellors can assist in this area.

Healing Dream
Often this type of dream occurs when you are suffering from some form of ill health such as an illness, ingrown toenail or toothache. The dream is saying you need to heal yourself and is warning you to take action in seeking medical attention before the condition worsens.

Epic Dreams
These types of dreams are similar to you sitting in a cinema and watching a movie. Your epic dream is the same, full of symbols, colors, events and characters. This type of dream is playing out a scenario that will last in your memory for quite some time and is sending to you a distinct message. Such a message might be you saying, “oh I had this dream once” and the message you will remember and put it to use during your life.

Lucid Dream
An interesting type of dream where you recognize that you are actually dreaming, you have a strong awareness that this is a dream and you can either wake up from the dream or can control the direction of the dream.

By taking control of the dream you can explore new areas that you normally would not be able to do. A lucid dream allows you to play out a scenario to see what might happen or if you enjoy the direction the dream takes.

Prophetic Dream
Simply put, a dream where you see into the future. If you have such a dream and have recorded the dream that later comes true, then yes that is a prophetic dream.  These types of dreams are not common and not widely believed, however there are people you might just have this psychic ability.  The alternative of course is your mind is playing out events that have occurred and points you in the direction or right path that you should take with a situation.
