Dreams Have Three Distict Purposes

We all have three distinct types of dreams as we sleep which are classified by the stage of the night in which the may occur.

Processing; this is the wish-full thinking stage - During this stage the mind's attempts to sort out the thoughts and activities of the day.

Predictive; is a precognitive stage - Here the mind attempts to predict the events that may occur in the future.

Venting; deals with overload - The mind attempts to release or vent out the overload of message units accumulated during the day. This is were the business is finished and the mind is done with it. This is the most important stage of the three stages and most suitable for analysis. This clearly shows the growth a person has mastered. This is very useful to the therapist as an accurate gauge of the clients progress in therapy.
