Dreams
Dreams are images, feelings and actions that we experience in sleep. At the Kyborg Institute we understand them as “acting on trial” – as a way of processing what has been experienced and of trying out solutions. This is a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading
In the dream we live out wishes, fears and unresolved questions and seek – often unconsciously – for solutions. A stimulating, friendly environment and good spirits, in our experience, give wings to the imagination and to dreaming. Beyond this we read dreams as a kind of inner foresight: some déjà-vu moments we experience as the recognising of something that we have “played through” inwardly. These are spiritual-psychological suggestions, not scientific statements.
Experiencing dreams more consciously
- Occupy oneself with meditation, in order to school inner perception.
- Before falling asleep, think something positive or ask a question.
- Little by little, some succeed in noticing, in the dream, that they are dreaming (lucid dreaming) – and in experiencing it more consciously.

Frequently asked questions
What are dreams?
Dreams are images, feelings and actions that we experience in sleep. They help to process what has been experienced and to seek solutions – at the Kyborg Institute we call this 'acting on trial'.
Can one use dreams more consciously?
From our point of view, yes: whoever occupies themselves with meditation and, before falling asleep, sets a question or a positive thought can learn to perceive dreams more consciously (lucid dreaming). This is a personal, worldview-based view.
