THE BIZARRE & UNPREDICTABLE
Anna Mandrykina
ABOUT THE BOOK
It all started a few years ago, after a night of vivid dreams I documented them and decided to look deeper and see if there is any meaning to the dreams at all, what I found out inspired me to create this project today.
While we sleep we dream illogical, uncontrollable, unnatural dreams, I believe there are more to dreams than we think. I find dreams to be fascinating, something that makes no sense in terms of a time line and context can reveal such depth and meaning within oneself. The question of why we dream still remains unanswered. Some believe there is no purpose or meaning to dreams, that they are too inconsistent or bewildering to deliver meaning. Others believe we need dreams for our mental, emotional and physical well being, providing insight into a person’s psyche.
Whether you want to believe your dreams can provide something deeper is a personal choice. Within this project I do not wish to provide specific answers for this topic but guidance for you to make your own meaning within your dreams.
To highlight this universal human experience and phenomenon, this project has turned into a 200 page book archive on all things dreams, a collection of stories, essays, information and most importantly people’s dreams.
Through this book I got to explore 5 different areas of interest. Introduction to dreams, providing a basic understanding of what dreams are, why they might happen and what types there are. The ideas of Freud & Jung looking further into the 2 people who have helped shape psychology with their theories of the subconscious mind. Dream Interpretations a selection of guides that can help you interpret your own dreams. Nightmares, a deeper dive into the dark world of your subconscious mind, and finally Taboo uncovering what some sexual dreams may mean.
