Dreams Can Bring You Luck
It might be interesting for some of you that we believe certain dreams can bring us good or bad luck. I'm not sure about other countries, If they believe things like that or not. I've talked about it before with a westerner before and It seemed like they only care about that dreams represent the mental status of people. Anyway, I'd like to tell you what we believe in Korea.
We understand that dreams show you psychological stuff, but in here I'd like to focus on that we believe that dreams can give us some hints of our future. like for example, If you see a pig in your dream, it's considered you're going to have a luck sooner or later mostly related to money. So those who dreamed pigs often go to buy lottery and many of them actually win.
There is very interesting story who's got really lucky because of a dream. A guy dreamed that her mom had shown him six 2-digit numbers. (I don't know if you country has lottery called "lotto" where people choose 6 numbers randomly from 1 to 45 and people who get exactly same numbers win huge amount of money.) And he remembered the numbers and bought a lotto and marked the numbers he had heard from his dream. And guess what? He won the lottery and became rich!! Well it could have been just a coincidence, But the possibility of wining it with randomly chosen numbers is really low like almost impossible.
There are other interesting dreams. Like if you see a dragon, that could mean you or someone close to you bear a child, or if you fall from somewhere that could represent you're going to grow more. But there are also dreams considered bad. Like if your dead ancestor takes you somewhere it could be serious. Because it could mean someone or you are going to die. So people how dreamed things like that should be very careful all day.
Also we have an interesting culture of dealing our good dreams. people who had good dreams such as pig dreams can sell their dreams to others. Then the people who bought the dreams can have good luck instead of the sellers.

There are other interesting dreams.

Like if your dead ancestor takes you somewhere in your dream it could mean something very serious.
Koreans also have an interesting culture about good dreams. People who have good dreams such as dreams about pigs can sell their dreams to others. Then the people who buy their dreams can have the good luck instead of tthe person who had (and sold) the dream. (to them.) < is better.

Well, my comment had nothing to do with scientific perspectives, I never mentioned any biological function. Dreams meaning can't be explained by science because it's not something we can see, but I know by experience dreams can predict future events. And just because selling ideas and intangible things is something common all over the world doesn't mean it's right, or that we should believe it's true, it's the opposite, it's a reason to doubt , at least for me it is. And I'm expressing my opinion about this subject as an individual person with my own thoughts, my culture's thoughts about it are something different, besides, I wasn't looking at this from a cultural perspective. It's interesting to know what our ancestors believed in, but that's all for me. : )

Moonlight < This is not a scientific attempt to explain what dreams are, it is the sharing of historical and cultural folklore and each culture has it's own perception about what dreams may mean. The actual scientific reasons why people dream is not yet completely understood however research has been done and continues to explore the biological process or need / or why we experience dreaming at all. To date, no one has ever proven that dreams have true predictive values however many cultures continue to hold to their longtime beliefs (folklore) regarding dreams. "Selling dreams" or selling anything intangible is as common and likely as the selling of other cognitive concepts. For example, people sell the "ideas of religion, politics and news" all the time. These things cannot be held in a person's hands - (information) - yet they can be "sold" to people through many mediums, all it takes is the willingness to believe you have purchased something desirable and a satisfaction that you have received the purchase (news, idea or inspiration). It's important to express our opinions and yours is certainly welcome here. I think if you explore your own culture you will also find that there is folklore (not scientific proof / although some may exist) about what dreams mean to you and your ancestors too. Take care. ~ 낸시

Ok, I understand it's a belief in your country from long time ago. I was just expressing my opinion, I'm very sceptic at this kind of subjects. But when you use the word "sell" it kinda gets related automatically to making business, even if it's something small and with close people, you can't really give your dreams to another person or receive dreams from someone else, dreams are very personal and we don't even fully understand what they are, they're not something tangible to begin with. But well, maybe I misunderstood something, in the end I can't fully understand what you're trying to explain because I don't know how your background is, and also because I come from a very different one. : P But anyway, I'm sorry if something I said earlier offended you somehow. Cheers.

No, it's not something people recently made up to make people buy lottery. There is a Korean historical story who bought other's dream and became the wife of a general in the 6th century. I'm not saying that the story is reliable but at least We can assume that this kind of culture has been done at least about 15 centuries. I understand dreams represent all the things you mentioned. But what I'm trying to say is a special belief in our culture in addition to that. And also people don't make business out of it. They only sell or buy dreams from someone reliable like families or friends.
