Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The word dream seems to have originated from the Middle English phrase 'drem', which was in turn obtained from the Old English word 'dream' meaning joy or music, resembling the Old Saxon term 'drom' meaning mirth.

    A dream is the sate of having envisioned images, sounds and other feelings while in a state of slumber. Dreams are mostly experienced by all humans, majority of mammals as well as some bird species. Sometime dreams have the power to strongly affect the emotions of the person who is experiencing them; sometimes they are even capable of scaring or terrifying the dreamer, in which case they are termed as nightmares.

    Dreams are basically a chain of thoughts, they may be unrelated or related, that take place when a person is sleeping. An individual may or may not remember his or her dreams on waking up, generally one can recall hazy images on waking.
