ASK A VENDOR THIS COLUMN IS A PLACE FOR DENVER VOICE VENDORS TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS FROM FELLOW VENDORS, OUR READERS, AND STAFF. THIS MONTH’S SUGGESTED QUESTION CAME FROM VOICE VENDOR REA BROWN Q Why do we dream? What do you think is the purpose of our dreams? A REA BROWN I’m sure there’s much to be said, or could or should be said Studies have been done, research has been led about the magical place people go or is it all in our head? I don’t know, sometimes yes, sometimes no so let’s start fresh with “yes” and best and stress the highs and low pests we get to the end with the “NO” all of its mystical glow. According to the bible, Dreams are a result of the business or in other words Dreams are reflections of this world; it’s like the other side of the black hole. Most if not all of our world is influenced by dreams both good and bad. A great number of literature and entertainment has been created based off what they saw in a dream. It’s like our minds sometimes create a world to show us the other side of the life we’re living or not living. As we examine the hunted forest that always door us like choruses, cliff hangers of doom and bliss S’more with chocolate that actually care so much we awake abrupt in blood, sweat, piss, semen, tears, or a gift. The end of Part 1. WESLEY HUBBS I believe we dream because we are fearful of some situations. By dreaming about said situation, we can cope with it more easily. For instance, I had to do a 4.5 piece in the Arizona Department of Corrections. It was very daunting, to say the least. I must admit, I was a little bit fearful. The second night [I was there on a yard], I dreamt about my dad, who had passed away a few years prior. My dream was of him (his face only) saying, “Don’t worry. You’re gonna be fine. God will protect you.” Sure enough, he was right. I came out unscathed and healthier than when I went in there. I wrote my mom and told her about the dream. She said she thought it was a dream visitation. I believe there are other reasons we dream, but I just don’t have time to write about them. p.s. I’m a God-fearing, Jesus-believing, Holy Spirit-inspired Christian. This is my truth, and I believe it. Amen, and God bless. MICHAEL BURKLEY Dreams are a way that our bodies gauge what’s going on inside and could be connected to a lot of different things in our lives. It’s amazing how our dreams connect to our emotions, our memory function, and everything related to our life, its past and its future. DAVID GORDON I don’t know why we dream. Especially while asleep, when most of the time we won’t even remember. I believe the purpose of dreaming is to remind us that there are no limits. Anything is possible. Each of us has a unique idea of what could be, and when we apply our emotions to our ideas, there is no limit to what we can do. SONDRA JEFFRIES Dreams are our subconscious putting together pieces or fragments of our consciousness. When we are awake, our minds dream as well! We see someone walking down the street, and we look at their stride, maybe their clothing style. They could be homeless and holding a sign asking for our help. In all this, we view them and imagine their stature in life. Possibly, we play out who they are and why. We might think about the type of life they have lived, the things they think, and where they are going next. Our imagination runs wild. However, every now and then, our dreams are a warning or message from God, and when we awake, that dream stays vivid. We want to tell someone about it. We mull over it throughout the day. It’s as if our creator is calling us to be wise and pay attention. JERRY ROSEN We dream to escape reality when things are difficult. The purpose of dreams is to get direction in life. Dreams can direct an individual in many ways. AUTUMN WISH LIST Drop-offs are accepted Wednesdays, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., or by appointment.
