Osho: Dreams Are Your Unlived Life
From an interview with The Tennessean, Nashville,Tennessee
Well, one thing I was curious about about you, is
that I had heard that you don't dream.
And I am wondering if that's true,
and
why you don't dream,
why you think you don't dream?
It is true.
One has to understand why one dreams.
One dreams because there are
unfulfilled
moments,
repressed desires,
things that you wanted to do but
could not –
because of the society,
because of the culture, because of the religion.
Animals don't dream.
Primitive people don't dream.
I have come across aboriginal tribes in India,
which are
still living like five thousand years before –
they don't dream.
The more man becomes more
repressed,
civilized,
starts
repressing his nature
and projecting
a certain personality which is respectable...
then there are dreams.
Dreams are there simply
to help you,
so what you could not do
in your waking hours,
you can do in your sleep.
They are a kind of substitute.
That's why Sigmund Freud and his
school of psychoanalysis
were so interested in your dreams.
They were not interested at all in what you think in the daytime –
that is all hypocrisy.
What they were interested in was
what you dream in the night,
because that will give them the clue
of the true person.
But a Sigmund Freud will be absolutely
amazed if he meets me,
because I never leave anything incomplete.
I do only what I want to do,
irrespective of any consequences.
I don't care about respectability.
I don't care
what others think of me.
I simply live my life.
And because I live so intensely and totally,
there is nothing residual
that can create the dreams.
Dreams are
your unlived life.
You can try a simple experiment.
One day, fast...
and in the night you will have dreams of
eating good and very delicious food.
Fasting created a dream about food.
In the day,
repress your sexual desire –
and in the night you will have a sexual dream.
Freud's interest was very correct.
To know about you exactly, your dreams have to be known.
Once your dreams are known
you can be helped to become more natural,
less repressive...
and to know the points in your life where you have
been denying yourself,
sacrificing yourself –
either in the name of country
or in the name of religion.
I have never sacrificed anything.
I have never done anything against myself.
Whatever I want to say I say,
whatever I want to do I do.
I have never followed anybody,
I have
never
taken anybody's advice.
I have lived a very innocent, primitive, simple life.
That's why there are no dreams.
