Everybody likes to dream. But we cannot dream in open eyes and without sleeping. Dreams is the state of unconscious state of mind. Dreams connect us not only with psychic life, but with physiological events in the body. Do you know, we can understand our body by studying our dreams?

Ayurveda i.e Science of life, explains about dreams as the evidence of the strong connection between the body and the mind. Also Ayurveda states that dreams contains strong indications about the underlying causes of disease or imbalances. Also it is believed, dreams are the story of unfulfilled wishes. Whatever you keep on thinking and think before going to bed will appear in your dream story. Thus by studying the dreams on can understand the inborn energy of a person. According to Ayurveda, imbalances are due to imbalance in the mind. It is not surprising that Ayurveda categorizes dreams into Vata, Pitta and Kapha types. In the eyes of Ayurveda, every individual in this universe are different by energy and it makes them indifferent in all the aspects of their life including the dreams.dream_ayurveda
