interpretation of dreams

When i woke up this morning, i vividly remembered my dream – the faces, the scenes. In the dream i had yesterday, there was a fishing contest and i saw this Chinese team with a huge boat getting the fishing net ready. i can remember seeing the features and dresses of the people in the boat, the way the way went about hurling the huge net in the sea. It was so real.

And i was left wondering whether the people i see in my dreams are people my sub-conscious makes up or these are people i have seen somewhere – maybe in magazines or TV. None of the faces were familiar. Does that mean that the mind can “manufacture” people, even clothe them in the right attire for the situation in the dream?

The places i see in my recurring dreams – do they exist or does my mind make it up from the things i read? i dream quite frequently of this place – it is barren, hillocks scattered everywhere, not a soul in sight. And somehow, the place is so peaceful, i feel like i have arrived home.

Freud, where are you???
