Dreams at Dawn are True and False

Dreams at dawn are a reflection of the activities of the day, with the dreams during the first half of the night being a reversal of reality due to exhaustion. The dreams during the second half of the night are considered to be closer to reality. The boundary between the two halves is midnight, with the period from sleep to midnight being the first half of the night, and the period from midnight until dawn being the second half of the night.

Therefore, dreams at dawn are generally considered to be true dreams that are closer to reality. What are true dreams and false dreams? Many elders would say that dreams are all reversed, and one should think in the opposite way. For example, dreaming of a flood signifies abundant wealth, while dreaming of being bitten by a snake signifies fearlessness and good luck.

"True dreams" represent a realistic psychological state, reflecting one's efforts in reality and the pursuit of success. "False dreams" are more like "inner hopes," where the dream scenario is favorable despite the challenges faced in reality.

Are dreams in the morning accurate? Morning dreams are the ones remembered upon waking up. They are the most common dreams that people recall, whether they are joyful, sad, sorrowful, painful, or frightening. These dreams often take on absurd forms. After experiencing multiple cycles of light and deep sleep, when the body enters the first stage of light sleep after falling asleep, it first processes the sensory experiences of the environment and then processes the dreams based on what was seen, heard, and thought before sleep. Lastly, the dreams involve thoughts, soul-searching, nostalgia, and future judgments, or experiencing a different space.

Therefore, morning dreams tend to be more accurate and can provide insights into the long-term future.

Do dreams have predictive qualities? Yes, but they are rare or uncommon. The renowned psychologist Carl Jung once dreamt of the outbreak of World War II before it happened. However, the predictive nature of dreams is not straightforward; instead, it is often expressed through symbolic images. Even though Jung dreamt of the outbreak of World War II, the dream itself was a mythical-like scene, and its interpretation was only understood after the war had occurred.
