Dreams are the products of your brain and a result of your mind’s need to heal. You’ve probably had dreams where a deceased loved one visited you, or you were introduced to new members of the family. These and other experiences are actually messages from your subconsciousness.  

Many people who have nightmares fear these experiences, but they are a natural part of our lives. Each nightmare is different and the sense each person were subjected to it quite different. Some of us dream about spiders, some people dream about snakes and others just monsters.
