When we sleep we can dream, sometimes we dream dreams that we would like to know what they mean.


Dreamland dreams and beliefs

Dear readers, just about everyone of us dreams about many things and some of us believe that dreams may carry a message, but everything seems unreal in dreamland, so I say: May God of the universe and the knowledge that exists in the universe about dreams help me say the right things in these dreamland writings?

Welcome to this article, Dreamland dreams and beliefs, where we are going to explain dreams type two and three and then open the door of our spiritual dreams later on; this post is the continuation of our post, Menfranco Dreamland Modified, therefore, hereunder is the continuation and explanation of dreams type two and three, as we haven’t done that yet.
So now, let us talk about sleeping dreams, type-two and three, since we have already classified dreams type one as being shallow dreams that seem to come from our body needs.
Now let us talk about these other two types of dreams; normal mental dreams and deep psychological dreams, they are the real dreams that we dream and they seem strange sometimes, since as we have said we dream them when we seem to be in a deep sleep or waking up from a deep sleep; they could or would be called the dreams of our minds. These dreams seem completely detached from our present body needs, and therefore they can’t be explained easily like the bodily dreams type one, for this reason we don’t know how and why we do dream such dreams. Of course these dreams may be from long past experience that surface in our mind while we are sleeping, or they may be of a psychological nature; so while our mind is at rest from our busy waking life, our brain tries to sort things out, and tries to make sense in its own way while we are asleep. Some of these dreams usually seem to remind us of long past events, or they may be very strange in nature and make no sense at all, if one compares them to real life. They are or seem to be a bit like the dream in type-one, but they are not because we can’t find the connection to our present body needs; but there could be a connection if we look for it in our life overall, and this connection is more mental than physical, or at least it seems so because there are also those things that our body requires but we are not aware of it, and there are our own beliefs that play a part in modifying our dreams.
All these things put together may easily create a problem for our mind so to speak, and this problem must be solved somehow, and our mind solves its own problem by dreaming these strange dreams. In my own personal experience I always feel more relaxed after dreaming something, sometimes I feel as if some chemical have been released in my brain; so, dreaming for us might be beneficial overall, even when we don’t understand why we have dreamed such dreams.
------------------------------------
Understand these types of dreams
We have always tried to understand these types of dreams; as far as we can see, the normal mental dreams and the psychological dreams seem to come at the same level of awareness, therefore they can’t be separated easily, as they are both mental and therefore detached from our body needs, so they are not like type one and for this reason they are hard to explain.
Because of their nature, mankind has been interested for a very long time about their meanings. So, because of these dreams detached nature from our present bodily needs, and the belief about the possibility that our mind could be tuning-in to a different dimension, which could really exist and it is believed to be in the cosmic life-force of the whole universe, and also our afterlife world, and therefore the land of the dead, where the souls of our ancestor are supposed to be after death. Some people believe that our ancestors can communicate to us through these dreams, and they would give us coded messages since they are not allowed to tell us in a straightforward way, and worn us about what’s going to happen next, as they know already everything before it happens.
Because of these beliefs, there are groups of people that have put special meanings in these dreams, and they think that it is possible to foretell some future events from our dreams.
There are in fact so many people that believe in their dreams, and some of them would be worried if they have had a bad dream, as they believe that the dream may have foretold them of an oncoming bad event. These believers of dreams would usually tell their dreams to their special close partners, relative or friends that believe in the same way; and by telling them their dreams, they hope that their friends would be able to help them find what those dreams could mean, but in the end everything remains as confuse as before. So in our next post we are going to write about, what could these dreams mean?
See you soon.

Explaining cosmic dreams

WELCOME TO FRANK MENCHISE BLOG OF GENZANO DI LUCANIA, YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AS LONG AS YOU LIKE.

Dreamland can be many different things like what this photo shows a beautiful place. But in this blog we are really talking about our own personal dreams, which can sometimes include beautiful things and sometimes terrible things, because when we dream anything can happen.
-


 Explaining cosmic dreams

Here for the first time in our blog I am trying to explain cosmic dreams
Let us leave behind dream type 1 and 2 just for a moment, since we have already talked about them before and they seem to have a lot to do with our body needs; because at this point of time we believe that another sort of explanation is required more urgently, here we are talking about religious dreams or should we say cosmic dreams that seem to come from the other side, or another dimension so to speak, this explanation of dreams is also going to include our hub, Dreamed about God, since there are several religious dreams mentioned in that hub, here we also need to point out about, The most important dream of my life, that unfortunately is no longer in hub pages but it is now in this site pages, click on the link; “The most important dream of my life” or http://manneedsgod.blogspot.com, to check it out, of course there are the Cosmic spiritual dreams, and of course all the other dreams that people dream; anyhow let us try to explain how most of these cosmic or spiritual dreams could be explained.
In order to make sense of the dreams that we dream, we need to put everything together as a whole, and then see how it can work all together, therefore everything has to be in the right place and somehow make sense to our logic human reasoning, for this reason we have come up with this theory:
In order to make sense in the world of dreams, dreams have to be connected in a way that makes it possible for us to dream those dreams and make sense of them, therefore, when dreams are not connected with our body needs as in type 1 dreams, this question arises; why do we dream and where do these dreams come from?
Looking back at history, our forbears believed in the world of dreams and they believed that sometimes the dead would visit us in a dream and give us messages or something like that, in order to warn us of what was going to happen next; okay, what we have described about our forbears beliefs may or may not be right but they believed them anyhow, but at the same time we would like to find a way that includes all the dreams that we dream, so where are the dreams that we dream and why we dream them one may ask?
Let us imagine that there is a place that could store dreams in the form of a record, and dreams could be other people thoughts or speech that have happened in the past or are happening at the same time when we are dreaming, these dreams float around and when we happen to get in touch we them we dream that dream. Now if that is possible the only place that they can be stored would be the cosmos, since the cosmos is believed to be capable of holding all the universe records, and the cosmos is in contact with each and every one of us, of course we need to work out how could it happen? But this may require just a simple explanation to start with, whether this explanation is right or wrong we don’t know yet.
So, let us assume that the cosmos is the way that everything is communicated in the whole wide world, therefore there are all sorts of sounds, words and ideas flouting throughout the cosmos, now when we go to sleep we somehow can tune into this cosmos records, and so, we may dream anything at all including the most strange things. Therefore if there is something in the other side that wants to get in touch with us, they know how to use the cosmos and send messages to us, since God and all the other spiritual things are all part of the cosmos.
Well this is just a way to explain things, whether it is right or not we cannot tell yet, but it is just a possible way how thing are in the world of dreams. Of course there are many other ways to explain the world of dreams, but we are going to stop here for the time being.
May God of the universe master of the cosmos capable of modifying everything according to his will within the cosmos, by using his knowledge and the knowledge that exists in the cosmos; we say may God guide us to write the right things in these dreamland writings?
See you soon in our next post of, Dreamland dreams and beliefs including an outline of sleeping dreams type two and three, which will be found in the hub Dreamland dreams and beliefs. (Cosmic spiritual dreams.)

Dreams could be classified

Welcome to our blog, Genzano it story
and this post, dreams could be classified
-


Dreamland is all in our fantasy










When we sleep at night we may dream many dreams that we could be able to classify, in order to see what they could mean.








Dreams could be classified

In this post we are trying to classify the types of dreams, so, let us talk about dreams in a general term while we try to classify them the best way we can.
I believe that generally speaking there are two types of dreams, which are: the dreams that we dream when we are asleep, and the daydreams that we dream when we are awake. The dreams that we dream when we are awake are just wishes and thoughts that we have while we are awake, so one could say they are just wishful thinking; but let us first talk about the real dreams that we dream at night.
The dreams that we dream when we are asleep can be divided into three types at least:
(1) Shallow dreams that seem body dreams.
(2) Normal mental dreams and deep psychological dreams.
(3) Dreams from the unknown, as the Afterlife world and also the cosmic world.
All the dreams that we dream when we are asleep are linked close together, and they can be so close together that it is hard to know when one ends and the other begins, in fact they usually overlap each other a lot. And sometimes also the daydreams can creep into the night dreams.
We will talk about the daydreams later on, but now let us talk about the dreams that we dream when we are asleep.
Sleeping dreams, Type-one.
These dreams seem to be mostly shallow dreaming, and they are often only a reflection of life that we happen to live at that particular time, and part of these dreams we’ll dream while we are half asleep, and part of them when we are fully asleep; these dreams will usually reflect the happenings of the day before the dream, or something that we have thought that was about to happen, or something that our body needs and the need surfaces in our thought as we sleep, so we can say that our activities would and could show in our dreams.
-------------------
Our activities are shown in our dreams
Since our activities would be shown in our dreams specially in dream type one, it is very likely to happen that if we have had a very busy and confuse day, our dreams will usually show that feeling of confusion, and while we dream of one thing it suddenly changes to something else, and there are times when the very same objects that we have used during the day may come into our dreams, perhaps they will be there only for a split second, or they may be replaced by something else and only the rhythm of the happenings may be present on our dream, we need to look at all those things put together if we want to understand our own dreams, and it would be good to remember that it is the dreamer himself that would be able to understand his own dreams better than anybody else.
Anyhow, these types of dreams seem to suggest that our mind is sorting out the happenings of the day before or recent activities, and perhaps filing them in its own way in a corner of our brain, before our mind can have a real rest and move on doing something else.
A second type of these dreams is when we are asleep and our body feels the need for something, then we may very well dream of the desired things: So if we go to bed hungry in our sleep we may dream of food, and perhaps we may try to eat it but usually we would not succeed, so that our hunger remains with us. If we are thirsty we may dream of water, and of fountains and of any other sort of drinks, but somehow we don’t drink and if we do we wonder why it doesn’t quench our thirst; and this is all because our body needs is still present in our dream.
If we need to go to the toilet for a piss, we will dream of trying to find a toilet, and we will have all sorts of problems to find a spot to piss, and when we have found one and try to piss we wake up, and find out that we have really to go to the real toilet.
If at night we have a bad digestion or something else that affect our well being, whether we are aware of it or not, we may very likely have a nightmare. Here it seems to me that our mind doesn’t want our body to relax completely, so we have a nightmare in order to keep our circulation going faster that it would normally do if we were sound asleep, and in doing so we may solve more readily our present physical problem.
So all these types of dreams seem to have a purpose, which is to adjust any difference needed between mind and body while we are asleep. And also our mind needs to dream in order to review those day happenings, and file them in its own way.
I believe that it might work very much like this:
For example; if you fill up a clean glass with dirty water, and then leave it on the bench overnight: In the morning you will find that most of the impurities in the water are settled at the bottom, and a few that are lighter than water at the top, so most of the water now is clear water.
In a parallel way like the glass of water, while our body rests at night our mind works by settling things down, so during our dreams our mind seems to be looking at the impurities settling down, and our dream are the process of settlement and purification, and when everything has settled our mind then will file them to keep a record and shut them down in a corner of our brain.
The conclusion for this type of dreams is that: Dreams type-one have something to do with the ever present body needs of the dreamer.
What I have written above is an explanation for type 1 dreams; type 2 dreams and other explanation will be written in our next page or article, because here under I would like to write about the cosmic or spiritual dreams, since these writings now are being modified and follow more closely our religious views, and the cosmic dreams would or could be linked to religions, as they seem somehow removed from our bodily needs, or at least they seem to be that way?

Welcome to my blog, Genzano it story
and this post, Menfranco dreamland

When we sleep we dream our dreams, they are all sorts of dreams, some people believe that all the dreams mean something to the dreamer, one way or another, so it would be helpful to know their meanings.
 Dreaming is a night vision of our own minds, they are our thoughts that become mixed up with other existing elements that exist in the universe, so they can be just about anything, and sometimes they can even be strange to ourselves.


We dream many strange things in our dreams, but a lot of these things are influenced by our own activities during the day, they may change shape and color, but somehow they are linked to our own experience and desires.




Menfranco dreamland
Now, let me introduce you first of all to my general dreamland in a light hearted way: 
YOU ARE ALL WECOME TO MY DREAMLAND MY FRIEND!
THIS IS THE LAND OF DREAMS AND FANTASY
Welcome to the land of dreams and fantasy!
Let me welcome you to dreamland my friends!
You are all welcome here, and you can stay here as long as you like, because dreamland is free for everybody that in dreams and fantasy likes to dwell.
You can dream whatever dreams you like in dreamland: sweet dreams, love dreams, good dreams, strange dreams, wild dreams and even nightmares. And perhaps if you feel like telling us your dreams after dreaming them, you could even tell us your dreams, since we would like to hear them of course.
And if you happen to tell us one of your dreams, or if you listen to a dream being told, please remember, that in dreamland nobody can tell whether the dream that we may be telling is the truth as well. Since in dreamland lies may seem truths and truths may seem lies as well; because even I, and I am the dreamer of dreamland, but even I don’t know what’s the truth as well.
This is how we feel about dreams when we dream some impossible dreams, where we want to continue to dream whatever we dream, in the hope of being able to achieve that something that is missing in our normal everyday life. We dream also about our day dreams that usually mix up at night with our normal dreams. Anyhow, let us talk about our dreamland modified. 
-----------------------------------------

Dreamland Modified

Dear readers I need to say here that this article was written the first time to cover all sorts of dreams, but now it has been modified because we want it to cover mostly the religious side, so that, it could become part of these religious writings that we are going to write here, you see, it has become necessary to modify my dreamland writings, because I have had a lot of religious dreams that I am going to write here in these religious writings, therefore I need this dreamland article to somehow explain to my readers what these religious dreams might mean and where they may come from if possible.
Having said that, it does not mean that I am changing my dreamland completely, it only means that I am going to add some more articles to explain the dreams of religious origin and at the same time take away some stuff that would clash with my religious writings. So if you find sometimes that it does not flow exactly according to religion, it is because this article of dreamland had to fulfil many explanations of dreams, like day dreams, normal dreams and religious cosmic dreams, I hope you see what I mean. So, now let us go back to the way it has been written the first time and then explain what we need to change.
This is the land of, DREAMS AND FANTASY
We dream many dreams during our lives, and the dreams in our lives cover a very large field, some of these dreams can even be daydreams and some others just plain dreams that we dream at night, dreams happen for many reasons and some of these reasons we are going to discuss in this writings, the word dream has many meanings, you see, at this very moment even the dream of writing about dreams can be said to be a dream?
Now, let us talk about dreams in a more personal way and about my own dreams; dreams are usually linked with our own happenings, so dreams may be true or false, I need to explain here and I have to say that, of course I have dreamed the dream that I am telling you and that’s true. But it is only a dream and it cannot be the truth just because it is a dream; but at the same time it cannot be a lie as well, just because what I am telling you, it has really taken place at least inside my mind as well; therefore dreams have many sides and depends on the way you see your dreams. You see, dreams are dreams and they can cover a very large part of just about everything, so, you can just dream about anything including say, some YouTube videos, you see it all can be a dream and here is a link to YouTube just dream about it;
Top 10 YouTube Videos of All Time
----------------------------
Now let us talk about day dreaming
So, here I am, in my dreamland my friends.
Because this is where sometimes I like to dwell nowadays, whether I like to be in it or not makes no difference, because my lifestyle seems to have forced me to be in dreamland. You see this is how I felt when I was writing dreamland for the first time, as I was daydreaming to escape so pains.
It had to happen to me, because somehow during my life I got tired and bored from the painful events of my life, and in order to escape my pains and boredom, I have tried to find a way out capable to break that boredom and gloom. Therefore, nowadays in the land of dreams and fantasy I often happen to dwell, which is a situation forced from my life’s events, that were and are even now mostly beyond my control. I believe that most of us end up in a situation that doesn’t agree with us and we try to escape even if we do that by dreaming a day dream. 
I don’t like being in this sort of situation, because by nature I am a doer and not a dreamer, so I would like very much to do some physical work, since that would keep my body fit and my mind occupied, and it would also give me some pleasure when I finish a task, because then, I would feel that I have achieved something worth doing.
Instead I am ruining my health, and perhaps I may be wasting away in the land of dreams and fantasy. But in my forced and hopeless situation I can’t do what I want, and therefore I am forced to dwell in the land of dreams and fantasy, just to keep my mind occupied in the hope that I keep it healthy. So you’ll have to forgive me if sometimes I will sound a bit strange, because in the land of dreams and fantasy everything can feel or be strange.
I suppose by now you know, or perhaps you have guessed already, that in the land of dreams and fantasy there are no restrictions whatsoever, so anyone can dream anything, say anything, think of anything and do anything at all. Because in the land of dreams there are no man made rules, and one is set completely free of all human acquired restrictions.
Because of this great freedom one can let oneself go wild, and dream or think of anything that one likes; and in doing so a person doesn’t harm anyone, or break any man made rules, since it all happens in one’s own mind.
Therefore, in the realm of dreams and fantasy just about everybody may willingly like to dwell sometimes, just because one can dream of anything that one wants; but can’t have it in real life. And in doing so one may be able to avoid being depressed, since one avoids that despair that otherwise may sent one crazy. Therefore, for someone to dream in the land of dreams and fantasy may be said that it is an escape from realty: But at the same time there is no harm done in dreaming, since it becomes an essential escape that serves well all humanity, because somehow it is able to help in keeping a balanced mental health, even if these dreams sometimes happen to be plain daydreams and nothing else.
So, let us try to classify the type of dreams that we dream.

Compare farming part 2

Welcome to our blog, Genzano it story
and our post, Compare farming part 2
-



When I was young there were already in use this harvesters they were horse drawn devises that would cut the wheat and tie it in bundles.










This is the very old way of harvesting fields of wheat a man with a sickle, you needed a gang of man to harvest a small field.







Harvesting the very old way

This link above is the link to our hub pages, where this article has more photos to see. 
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post Compare farming, so you need to read our last post first, in order to follow what we are saying here; you see we would like to compare the old ways of farming with today farming, therefore, we need to say at least briefly how harvesting wheat was done the old ways; here we need to say also that I have personally witnessed the last part of this old practice when I was young. You see, when I was young we were already using a horse drawn harvester, and it was very helpful; but there were people that had some very small holdings and we had one of these ourselves, so we had to use the old ways of harvesting our wheat for that small wheat field, because that was the only way to do it, as it was hard or almost impossible to take any machines there for one reason or another.
So, let me describe how harvesting was done in those old bygone days; at harvesting time strange as it may seem today, one could hire some specialized people that were good at using the sickle, these people usually went from town to town to do this seasonal harvesting job; here we need also to explain that in Southern Italy because the terrain has different altitude the wheat reaches maturity at different times, this geographic position was helping these seasonal workers to have a longer span of work, so they would go from town to town until the harvesting season would finish completely. Now just to compare those very hard times with today times, I have to tell you that these workers were sleeping anywhere they could on a sack filled up with straws under a shelter if they could find one, as they could not afford anything else. In the morning if they had already been hired they would get up early and go where they had to go to work, if not they would wait in the town square hoping that somebody would hire them for the day. 
Now let us say that we had a small plot about one acre and we could not use the harvester of those time, because it was not possible to go there, we would then hire four people and form a gang that could harvest one acre in one day and collect it in hips that would be later on taken on a cart to the farm house to be threshed one way or another.
In the old times anything that had grown in the field was collected, it needed to be collected for the people to survive, it was the only way because the fields did not produce as much as they do today, because they could not be cultivated as good as we do today.
Now I suppose I have to say briefly how the older generations used to thresh their harvests, in order to collect all their produce. Now, let us suppose that it was only a few bundles of wheat to be threshed one could even extract the wheat by hitting them with a stick, but let us say that we had a cartful, or many cartfuls for that matter, then we had to use a different method, which is the way that most farm used in the very old times for centuries, so let me tell you how it was done.
I happen to know this procedure, because in the farms when I was young we were still using this method with smaller crops most likely broad beans, lentils, chick peas, linseed, and other farm produce, and the elder would always be telling us that this was the way that they used to collect their wheat as well and usually it took them a few months to collect all the season produce. So now let me describe this to you, so that we would be able to compare the great difference.
In order to do this, first of all we needed to prepare a piece of ground that is very solid and smooth, this could be achieved by stripping the old dry grass on a piece of land that had a large clay content, then wet it with a little bit of water to make it compact; once that was ready we would place our wheat or whatever was to be threshed and collected on this clean ground, then we would get our horses mule and donkeys whatever animals were available and drive them around and around until everything was threshed. Of course there was a lot more to say, but let us make it short otherwise it would become too boring.
Now, once the threshing was done we has to separate the produce from the straw and any other foreign matter, this was achieved by removing the straws from the top layer making sure that no produce was left with the straws, at the same time we would collect the bottom layer in a hip, once that was done we would have to clean that produce by using the wind, to take away the finer parts that were still mixed with the wheat or whatever it was, and there were many other things that we could use to get this wheat clean, by the end of the day we could have collected two or three hundred kilograms of produce.
In the very ancient times was even worse, see what they were using in the Medieval Times, here is a link to check out some ancient farm tools including the Flail and Winnowing Basket used to collect and clean wheat.  
I hope that this gives the modern reader a view of how thing were done in the old times, so I do not want to say much more about how all this threshing and cleaning of the wheat was done, because even writing about it is boring today, but anyhow it needed to be done in those days, because that was the only way to collect our wheat to make bread and other things. Now, my dear reader’s do you see how hard was then even to collect wheat for ourselves.
I hope I have been able to write something that really sets up the great difference of the ways of life that we were living then and the ways of life that we are living now, for this I want you to compare and judge for yourself how much better off we are today.
To the young people who think that today life is hard, let me describe to you what I have witnessed when I was young, because then life really was harder then today, you see those days everybody had to find how to earn enough to feed themselves there were no handover from the government. So, the very poor people of those days were trying to collect anything they could to feed themselves.
So at harvest time this is what I have witnessed, I have seen old and poor people mainly old ladies go around the fields and pick up any ear of wheat that was left behind in the fields, one ear of wheat here  and anther there until they had the strength, each day until harvest time was over and there was nothing else to collect; and I tell you what these poor people were happy if in the end they had collected enough ears of wheat that they could trash and clean themselves, perhaps they could have collected enough to make 50 to 100 kilos of wheat during harvest time and they were happy because, they could make bread from this wheat and not go hungry for a few months.
Now I hope that you see what I mean when I say that the youths of today don’t know anything about hard times?
