As sleep drowns us into unconsciousness, we enter into another world much like, yet different from the world we live in. We enter the world of dreams. In our dreams, everything is possible. Even things that can only happen in fantasies and our imagination come to life. It is like watching a fantasy movie where we are actors rather than the spectators. Sometimes the story makes sense, but most often it left us wondering what it was all about and what it meant. We dream every night, but oftentimes we only remember parts of the dream or we completely forget what we dreamed about.

It is said that dreams are one of the mysteries of the human mind. Since ancient times, people believed that dreams have meanings and it may offer guidance to the future [1]. The Bible contains many stories about dreams and how it affected the future of the dreamer. Some of the most notable stories are that of King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel’s interpretation (Daniel 2), and the Pharaoh’s dream interpreted by Joseph as seven years of plenty and seven years of famine in Egypt (Genesis 41). Joseph’s interpretation enabled the Pharaoh to store food during the years of plenty in preparation for the years of famine.

Are there really clues in our dreams that may help us live a better life? Diane de Villiers, author of Dream Journey Guide thinks so. Here are 10 Ways your Dreams can Change your Life.

Life and the joys of living. Many people may raise their eyebrows and say, "who would give up their lives anyway?" Well, aside from those who want to commit suicide, there are ways to give up your life and the joys of living. Like being tied up to the past, feeling unworthy and not loving oneself, not living your full potentials, or measuring one's worth from other people's points of view.

People from all walks of life want to have money. Even those who already have still work to have more. And they get more. However, those who have less seem to have a hard time increasing what little they have.

The parable in the Bible about the servants who were entrusted with money comes to mind. Those who invested what was given to them were able to increase it and it pleased the master. But the servant who just hid the money for fear of losing it, return the exact amount given to him and the master was not impressed at all.

Your attitude towards money can determine your having more or less of it. When you know and believe you have more, you tend to use it confidently and wisely so it increases. But if you know and believe you have less, you tend to hoard it and spend it only on things that do not produce any return.

Anne Hartley, successful coach and author of several success books, talks about why education and hard work is not enough to make you rich. In “Money with Soul,” she delves further into the nature of money and how you can block its flow into your life.
