I don't quite know which section to put this in, so I'll post it here.
I've been wondering: if we're just souls residing in a physical body, where do we go when we dream? And what do our dreams mean? Do our souls leave this plane?
Because I've been having some strange dreams that are not some experiences from a higher realm but are connected to my existence here on Earth.
I often dream about my wishes and desires such as finding a partner or be a baby again so I could experience life anew.
Or I dream weird things and I'd like to tell you of three I remember most vividly, all from a time when I was between 4 and 7 years old.
In the first one I was hit by a bus but instead of dying, I was somehow glued to the street and all the cars drove over me and pedestrians were laughing.
In the second one, I was in a department store several floors high and I looked out of the window and suddenly the entire building was made out of glass and I fell through the glass as if it was water and fell to the ground. I woke up before I hit the ground.
The third one I'm not sure whether it actually was a dream or something real. I was sleeping and suddenly there was a hazy orange light (I'm short-sighted so I couldn't see what it was). I went to the window and suddenly the light (presumably a street lantern) became a huge fire. I fled to the bed in horror and next morning I remembered it like it was a dream.
I wonder whether these were my brain trying to process a journey to another dimension. Or foggy memories about past lives? I'm not sure.
