Dreams as we all know helps the brain to process emotions, consolidate memories, rehearse scenarios, and sometimes spark creativity.

We all daydream too & drift away from reality especially when reality is too painful. Daydreaming is a defense mechanism, a strategy the unconscious mind uses to cope with stressful reality.

“In your dreams” is an interesting movie which talks about how children who are facing stress may get stuck in wishful thinking, a dreamy world of their own where they find stability and relief from the trauma of reality. At the same time, the movie talks about how wishing for what we want can drift us towards deep denial & getting in touch with reality may become too difficult for children. The movie has also given a different perspective to nightmares. Nightmares are actually a way to figure out solutions to our real-life problems. It has given a powerful way to cope with reality by introducing the concept of lucid dreaming where children feel empowered by giving direction to their own dreams. It is a must watch movie for all children & parents and especially those who are struggling with difficult transitions in life. While dreams can give us ideas to deal with stress, we have to fight the battle in reality and implement solutions in the real world.
