The Dream World, is it really so Heavenly, or just an escape from reality like watching too much TV?梦幻世界，是真有那么天上，或仅仅是脱离现实喜欢看太多的电视？ Were my own dreams to come true, at least the few I remember, my waking life would probably be less interesting than usual, and maybe a bit more stressful.是我自己的梦想成真，至少在几年我还记得，我醒来的生命可能会比平常少有趣，也许有点紧张。

So what’s the big deal about dreams?因此，有什么大不了的关于梦想？ Apparently, even if they’re ordinary, they prevent psychosis.显然，即使他们很普通，他们防止精神病。 So sleep is obviously a wise investment rather than an indulgent squandering of time.因此，睡眠显然是一个明智的投资，而不是纵容浪费时间。

“In a recent sleep study, students who were awakened at the beginning of each dream, but still allowed their 8 hours of sleep, all experienced difficulty in concentration, irritability, hallucinations, and signs of psychosis after only 3 days.” “在最近的睡眠研究，谁是唤醒学生开始时每个梦想，但仍允许其8小时的睡眠，都经历了困难的浓度，烦躁，幻觉，精神错乱的迹象后，只有3天。 ”

Sri Chinmoy gives a spiritual viewpoint in his book The Journey of Silver Dreams 斯里兰卡清提供了精神的观点在他的著作的征程中银梦

”There are seven higher worlds and seven lower worlds. “有7个和7个世界上较高低的世界。 When we have dreams coming from the lower worlds, the subconscious worlds—or you can say, inconscient worlds—we have to feel that these dreams have no value.当我们的梦想从较低的世界中，潜意识的世界，或者可以说， inconscient世界，我们不得不认为，这些梦想已经没有任何价值。 They cannot change our nature.他们不能改变我们的本性。 They cannot inspire us.他们不能激励我们。 They cannot give us any hope for our future fulfilment.他们不能给我们任何希望为我们今后的履行。 When we get a dream from the vital plane, we will see that the dream will be constant movement.当我们获得一个梦想飞机的关键，我们将看到的梦想将被不断的运动。 It will be like a battlefield where everything is breaking and smashing and people are being killed.这将是如战场，一切是打破和粉碎和人民被杀害。 These dreams cannot help us at all in our spiritual life.这些梦想不能帮助我们在所有我们的精神生活。 The best thing we can do is forget them.最好的，我们所能做的就是忘记他们。 If the dream comes from the mental plane, there will be some poise—not full poise, but a little poise, a little calm and quiet there.如果梦想来自心理飞机，将会有一定程度的平衡，而不是完全平衡，但一些镇静，一点平静的。 If it comes from the psychic plane, we will feel affection, sweetness, compassion and concern for the things or persons we are seeing.如果它来自飞机的精神，我们将感到感情，甜度，同情和关心的事物或人，我们看到。 And if it comes from the soul’s plane, it will be all Light, Delight and Peace.”如果它来自灵魂的飞机，这将是所有轻，欢乐与和平。 “
