DREAM MEANING:

Psychological Meaning: The openness of a field may express your desire to be free. A field is also a fertile place and may therefore symbolise personal growth. The earth can symbolise the mother, which in turn represents the instinctive levels of your being from which this growth may come. Alternatively, the dream may simply represent you love of and desire to be with Nature. In times of trouble, a short break spent with Nature can be very therapeutic. Many of society’s ills are caused because we have lost touch with her restorative and nurturing powers.

Mystical Meaning: The gypsies believed that to dream of a field means there is a great deal of hard work ahead. If the field has weeds there will be little reward but if it is full of clover you will soon make wealthy friends.

A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. Dream interpretation is the attempt at drawing meaning from dreams and searching for an underlying message. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology. 

Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable. The length of a dream can vary; they may last for a few seconds, or approximately 20–30 minutes. People are more likely to remember the dream if they are awakened during the REM phase. The average person has three to five dreams per night, and some may have up to seven; however, most dreams are immediately or quickly forgotten. Dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses. During a full eight-hour night sleep, most dreams occur in the typical two hours of REM.
