Dream can sometimes seem so realistic that lucid dreamers often do not know if they are indeed dreaming. General observation shows that dreams are strongly associated with REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness. The events of dreams are often unlikely to occur, or impossible in physical reality: they are also outside the control of the dreamer.
Dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine intervention in many of the ancient societies, including Greece and Egypt, whose message could be unravelled by those with certain powers. Nowaday, various schools of psychology have offered theories about the meaning of dreams.
There are many various kinds of dream symbols, a commonly occurring theme found within a personal dreams, that usually reflect the waking life of the person who has the dream. The common, most telling dreaming symbol is that something illogical occurs in a completely natural and self-accepted manner. They can manifest themselves in many different ways, depending on the dreamer. They can also reflect wants, fears, things the subject hates, and even embarrassing moments.
Recognizing one's dream symbol is a technique for achieving lucid dreaming, to become consciously aware of dreaming. After that is achieved it may be possible to steer the dream and mold the dream world.
