Why do people believe in dreams? By trying to unravel the meaning of night visions, we hope to control the unknown that awaits us after awakening. A person has always been defenseless against the future, but he believed that in a dream he receives clues that will help him avoid dangers. Is it so? Today, even physiologists, psychologists and other representatives of official medicine agree that dreams do predict the future to some extent.
So, to see broken glass in a dream means that the dreamer will soon face unpleasant events. But what will they be like?
Believe or not believe?
Can dream books be trusted? In order to independently answer this question, it is enough to read several popular publications in a row. Even a not very attentive reader will see: in each of them the same plots are interpreted in different ways. So the dream books are lying? Yes and no. Each person has his own set of signals and symbols that works only for him. A simple example. A sleeping person was brought to his nose test tubes with the smell of fish. For a fisherman, this smell caused dreams of a big catch, for a cook -a dream about spoiled fish, and a housewife dreamed of a refrigerator. To learn how to solve dreams, you need to remember for a long time not only their plots, but also the events that followed them. Scientists have found that dreams, especially recurring ones, signal an impending malaise or illness. Here is an example. Why dream of broken glass? They can symbolize something “broken”, failed: a failed deal, an unhappy love, a failed trip.
However, in this case, intuition works. If a person experiences pain from cuts, then, most likely, he begins to become inflamed in the place where the glasses fell in a dream.
"Bad" and "good" dreams
In fact, there are no such things. Any dreams are a clue. Nightmares, no matter how terrible they are, are dreamed of for only three reasons: either a person begins to get sick, or a terrible dream reflects hidden fears, or the brain thus tries to highlight something important. If a person is calm, does not feel tension or anxiety, he will not see broken things, labyrinths, the dead and other negative stories in a dream. This is proved by absolutely all dream books. Here's how they answer the question: "Why dream of broken glass?"
- Miller's dream book. Its compiler is sure that broken glass makes a person hurry, because he has enemies.
- New family claims cloudy or broken glass portends bad luck.
- The compilers of the Mayan Dream Interpretation insist that broken glass means the collapse of hopes. (Interesting,was there a lot of glass in Mayan times?)
Absolutely all dream books do not see anything bad in the whole glass. In some of them, the interpretation of this concept is simply absent or portends good luck. Why is this happening?
