WHAT ARE DREAMS?

While reading this blog, I was wondering what do our dreams generally signify. as far as I understand , dreams reflect of what we think in our sub conscious, but does'nt it happen that sometimes you never think of it like in days and days but then too see it in your dream. Like I very often see snakes in my dreams (just yesterday a small snake bit me in my dreams), mom says that seeing snakes signifies that you will get money :)...well but mom the snake bit me....and its been a while that I saw the animal channel and thought of snakes, then why did I dream of it?

Some dreams are really good, like in college days I would dream that I went to college in helicopter (those days I would be tired travelling by bus and trains :)), so I can understand that its just my state of mind there.
but some dreams are real scary, so far i've seen these scary dreams only twice...and I literally screamt which scared my room mates too

Sometimes I see a dream and then forget about it, and then in my real life the same incident happens (its just like a replay) and I question myself; hey has'nt this happened before? Is that a dream too or is it intuition....but intuition cant be in such picturesque details, can it ? or was it a dream?

WHAT ARE DREAMS?

the saga of the never ending sweeping of the broom

Clean your shelf..your clothes fall off when we open the cupboard would be a comment I would face most of the time in my childhood and I would never be able to find my books in that small section alloted to me in the cupboard , finally on one weekend Dad would sit on my head and make me clean the shelf and I would think man its so much to clean, least did I think that its gonna be worse once I grow up

These days cleaning is not restricted to my shelf...(oh no..now i have a cupboard), a room, my car, office drawers and other such materialistic things, I also need to clean and organize my laptop, desktop at work, my personal computer at home, the lab machines, my mobile phone, my emails (in different accounts) apart from office email...Uuuf its too much to doUntill now I have never had the feeling that all my things are clean and organised..something or the other is left unclean or not organized..Will I ever achieve that ?

I have a friend who manages to do it well, she washes her home slippers and keeps it to dry with her utensils and so does the supdi (I am not sure what it is called in english dust pan ??) on her kitchen platform. Also she roams in her house without slippers to verify that there is no dust in the house and even wiped her home walls...yeah right walls
