Dream Interpretation: What Does It Says?

7
Dream Interpretation

Think back to the last time you woke up feeling confused because of your dreams. Were the dreams filled with distorted shapes, or with inanimate objects suddenly come alive? Did you dream of a former lover? Did you dream you could taste sounds, or smell colors?

Bizarre and surreal dreams are very common. Mankind has been searching to uncover the hidden meanings, emotions and symbols of dreams since recorded history began. In some ancient cultures, people believed that they received secret coded messages from their deities and needed priests or mystics to intervene in an effort to uncover their meaning.

Dream Interpretation

As time has gone on, peoples’ desire to have their dreams professionally analyzed has only increased.  People believe that they can discover natural talents and subliminal desires through the interpretation of the symbolic meanings of their dreams. They believe that these discoveries can steer them on a clear course towards a more satisfying and rewarding future.

The Prophecy of Dreams

People throughout history who trusted in their dreams are responsible for many creations and discoveries, as dreams can be uniquely prophetic. Mary Shelley’s classic Gothic novel “Frankenstein” has its roots in her dreams. Paul McCartney dreamed the melody to the iconic Beatles song “Yesterday.”

Dr. Otto Loewi won the Nobel Prize after he dreamed of the experiment that would prove that nerve impulses were chemical. And Elias Howe invented the sewing machine after a dream gave him unique new ideas about how to design the needle.

Dreams can help people define life’s purpose and give insight into life stages and changes. They can give insight into relationships and help plot the course to true happiness.

Common Symbols in Dreams

There are many themes that are universally common in dreams. For example, certain feelings and emotions can be interpreted from actions in dreams. Insecurity, chaos or loss of control may be represented in dreams of being chased. Liberation and control may be represented in dreams of flying or soaring in the sky with wings. While the themes are universal, the meanings of the themes can be unique to the individual dreamer.

Dream Analysis

A “dream dictionary” sure would make it simple to interpret dreams! But discovering the true meaning of dreams requires much more insight and skill than simply searching through a book. A person’s dreams are as personally distinct as fingerprints or DNA. The symbols and languages of someone’s dreams are unique to that person.

People who discover the true meaning of their dreams are often helped with:

  • Accomplishing balance between mind and body
  • Overcoming reoccurring nightmares
  • Conquering fears
  • Experiencing lucid dreams or vivid, realistic dreams
  • Restoring relationships with past loves or deceased loved ones
  • Discovering past lives
  • Achieving professional success
  • Finding love

These are only possible through intuitive dream work and accurate dream analysis, which includes a true understanding of the symbols and metaphors in relation to the dreamer.

Dream Journaling

Get in the habit of writing down all of the details of your dreams as soon as you wake up. Keeping a tape recorder or notebook right next to your bed will help you record every detail. Be sure to include as much information as you can, no matter how subtle or insignificant it may seem to you at the time. With this information in hand, you’ll be well on your way to assembling the puzzle that is your dreams!

The Power of Your Dreams

Power of Your Dreams
We all dream. There are many kinds of dreams. Some inspire us, some are just crazy.  Some depict things we can’t explain.  There is an inherent power in dreams, but many people choose to ignore it. For centuries, people have sought to interpret the meaning of dreams, whether it be to smite an enemy or to gain a fortune.   We are capable of the same thing.  All we have to do is understand what our dreams are trying to say to us.

There are several types of psychic dreams. There are some that are very common.  And, like other dreams they can move us seamlessly from our daily lives into a wild fantasy world, leaving us confused and questioning the realms of reason.

The types of psychic dreams are as follows:

  • Prophetic- This time of dream will give us a clue about a future event.  The event can be positive, or it can be negative. A common prophetic dream is of a death or wedding. This signifies a major life change.
  • Nightmare- This moves beyond the traditional scary dream. This bad dream is usually a manifestation of stress that we encounter in our daily life.
  • Lucid- Lucid dreaming, or dreams that in which your conscious for the entire dream is possible.   You can have a psychic dream in which you are totally aware of what is happening in the dream.  People who can dream in this way can project astral.
  • Archetype- This type of dream is extremely symbolic.  The imagery is directly connected to signs and symbols we see daily.
  • Repetitive- This is a dream that you have a number of times. It can be the same event or different facets of the dream with similar circumstances.  It also possible to have dreams that are referential to other recurring dreams.  This kind of dream means that you’re trying to work through a problem.

Your subconscious is just taking over some of the work for you.

A way to get the most out of your dreams is to remember them.  Most people dream every night; most of these dreams are forgotten within a few moments of waking.

There are few ways of remembering your dreams:

Start a dream journal.  The most accurate way to remember your dream is to stay quiet and still when you wake up.  Grab a piece of paper and a pencil and record what you remember of your dreams before you even get out of bed.  Once you have started this habit, you will be able to remember more and more of your dreams.

Your diet can affect your dream cycle.   If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your dreams, do not eat anything that can disrupt your sleep or keep you awake.

Don’t interrupt your sleep schedule.  Be as consistent as possible when it comes to bed time.  Go to bed at or around the same time every night.  Once you have established a specific sleep and wake time, you can try meditating or otherwise calming yourself before you got to sleep.

Talk yourself into it.  Let your brain in on your plans. Tell yourself that you want to remember your dreams.  This can help program you to remember what you are dreaming.  You may even try stating your intention aloud before you go to sleep. Set an ideal stage.  Is a messy bedroom keeping you from relaxing?  Having an untidy sleep space may actually keep you from focusing on your dream.

Finding the Meaning of Your Dreams

Dream dictionaries and online interpretations are tempting, especially when a dream is particularly interesting or troubling.   This is not the best choice.  Only you can attribute meaning to the symbols in your dreams.

However, there are a few symbols with universal meaning such as circles, which indicate the completion of a cycle or event.  Water means cleaning and transformation.  If you dream of a house, it means you may have physical health issues.   Birds indicate communication and peace.

Dreams only seem confusing. When you begin to understand your pattern of dreams, you can glean the rich resources your subconscious lays out for you.

Dreams and Connections

Dreams and Connections

There are different levels of consciousness within our human brain and each of it connecting us in some way with parallel universes. Each person holds the entire universe within themselves and has the potential to connect with the spiritual plane. Some are more aware of this than others.

One question remains: Are we ever fully conscious during our waking period? The answer is no. We spend more than half of our day routinely functioning without being fully aware of what we are doing or why we are doing it. Our real spirit is locked in a human body which needs to spend 1/3 of its life asleep. We are asleep to that which is truly real and genuine and are awake to the limitations of being bound in our material body.

  • Reconnecting With Loved Ones

As the conscious mind relaxes more and more, the unconscious is opened to new universes, unbound by the body and bodily needs. It becomes more feeling, more spiritual. Here we can connect with our loved ones once again. Here we can resolve conflicts within ourselves that may arise during the day.

It is here that we receive messages from the spirit world. Here we reconnect. Here we are the most intelligent. Again, remember this is approximately one third of our lives!

  • Why It’s Important to Remember Your Dreams

Very often we don’t remember what was said or done in the dream. We lose it as we awaken; but the feeling remains and has tremendous impact on our day. For this reason, we spend much of our day walking around in a mood we can’t understand. In reality, it’s a lot more than just getting up on the wrong side of the bed.

Make an effort to remember your dream immediately upon coming back up to consciousness before you are too fully awake, otherwise the memory will be quickly lost. Even a few key memories will help. You can always fill in the blanks in the morning.

  • The Value of a Dream Diary

Keeping a dream diary is also helpful during periods of stress and anxiety. It can be especially helpful after suffering a loss. You can practice automatic writing for 10 or 20 minutes before going to sleep at night: simply write down whatever thoughts flow into your mind, and you will be surprised where they lead.

Simply allow your dreams to take over from there and resolve any issues with which you may be dealing through your spirit guides, as you enter your parallel universe through sleep.

It is here that the boundaries of time and space are removed. It is here that you will reunite with your loved ones after your spirit is freed forever from the confines of the human form. It is here you will be awakened to what is truly real within you.

Are You Having Psychic Dreams?

Precognitive Dreams

The dream space is quite fascinating. It’s like going to a different dimension every time we’re dreaming as we can see and do things we can’t see and do here in the real world. Do you know that the dream world is without time and space? Everything exists without confinement of time and space and believe it or not, when we are dreaming, we are all pretty psychic.

There are various types of psychic dreams, so let’s take a look at three common types today so you can start interpreting some of your dreams.

Precognitive Dreams

A precognitive dream is a dream that predicts something that will happen in your future. For example, if you dream that your ex-boyfriend shows up at your work and gives you roses, and four days later he actually does, you’ve had a precognitive dream. Or let’s say you dream about your best friend from high school and the next day she calls you. These types of dreams are the type that predict both good and bad things in the future, sometimes in great detail.

Keep in mind though, that some dreams that you may think are predictions of the future may simply just be your psyche acting up. For example, if you dream about your boss dying in a ski accident, it may not be a prediction, but you may be harboring some pretty angry feelings for him, and these feelings conjure up all sorts of things dream time

Telepathic Dreams

When you dream about a person who is still alive and you connect on an emotional level, you’re having a telepathic dream. For example, if you dream that your uncle is sick with pneumonia and you’re there with him giving him support, and you find out a week later that indeed your uncle was sick with pneumonia, you connected with him in dream time via a telepathic dream. You had connected with his consciousness, as there is no time or space in dream time, so there actually was no distance between you and him during that time.

Clairvoyant Dreams

When you have a clairvoyant dream, you connect with information that would normally be unattainable when you’re conscious. Now, a clairvoyant person can access the same information when awake, but some people are just more in tune to their clairvoyance while they are dreaming. For example, if you dream that a tsunami hits a country on the other side of the world and you wake up to news of such an occurrence in Japan, you’ve had a clairvoyant dream.

Final Thoughts

Some people cannot distinguish what type of psychic dream they are having, but the more you practice interpretation, the better you will get at deciphering. There are dream interpretation classes offered online or locally in many places that will help you gain insight into your dream time. There are also some great books on the topic. Continue to learn about psychic dreams, journal your dreams, and enjoy the journey of dream and awake time.

Are Sex Dreams Good to Have?

Sex Dreams

You don’t need to be worried if you had a sensual dreams as it doesn’t always mean a bad thing. Lucky you if you’re dreaming about having sex with the list of scenarios below! These dreams usually mean that some energy that has been out of your control is being incorporated into your personality so you will have control of this force.

Some examples of these types of dreams are explained below:

  • If you dream you are having sex with a musician, then you are likely to develop an interest in music or singing. At the very least, you are becoming more creative.
  • If you dream you are having sex with a business person, then you may find yourself having ideas about starting up or developing a business. You are becoming more professional.
  • If you dream you are making love to a hot, beautiful and sexy man/woman, then you will find those aspects in yourself coming to light. You are becoming hot!

Likewise with eating dreams. Ancient cannibal tribes believed that by eating their enemies they received the power of that enemy. By eating something or having sex we incorporate the power and characteristics of that element in our dream into our ego or conscious personality.

If you dream you are having sex with someone you don’t like or eating something you don’t like, don’t worry!

This just means that the shadow side of your subconscious is offering you gifts of awareness about hidden and possibly dark forces. When you have the power of these so called ‘negative’ or ‘bad’ elements you can choose to do wield it in any which way that you like.

Darkness is only dark because it has no light. When you bring the light of your personality down into the darkness, it has no control of you, and all becomes light! How cool is that?

All the aspects of the dream are forces in our subconscious that are rising to the surface of our minds so they can be incorporated into our personality when we are awake and functioning in the outside world.

Remembering Your Dreams

When you sleep, you blend your dreams into a mix of things you know and things you don’t. Some of these things are from your past, some seem to be from your future.

There are a few steps you can take to remember your dreams:

  • When you go to bed, tell yourself that you are going to remember your dream. This will let your brain focus on that one thing.
  • Have something to write on and something to write with near you when you go to bed.
  • Make sure you have time to get an adequate night’s sleep. Of course, you should be doing this every night, but it is easier to remember your dreams if you have time to completely relax.
  • When you wake up, write down absolutely everything you can remember even if it seems insignificant. If you need to, make a few drawings as notes to help seal your dreams in your memory.
  • Write down the emotions that your dream may bring. Even if it is just a subtle feeling, it will help with your interpretation.
  • If you are unable to write it down, you can just commit the details to memory by reviewing them over and over. It may help to tell someone else the details of your dreams.
  • Practice this for several nights until it becomes second nature. After a few months, you will be able to do this without any extra stress.

Best Advice to Remember Your Dreams

If you encounter any trouble in remembering your dreams, leave reminders for yourself to write them down. When you wake up, go over the details in your mind and then repeat it throughout the day. Try thinking about the previous night’s dream before you go to bed and see if that helps restart your memories. If you sleep deeply and wake up in the middle of the night, take a moment to write down a detail from the dream. As you drift back off think about these details.

It is possible to remember your dreams. This is called lucid dreaming. If you practice over and over and still have trouble remembering the details, it may be that you are not ready to face the message the universe has for you. Be patient and keep an open mind. Some find that music will help them relax and open themselves for lucid dreaming.

Unlock the Meaning of Your Dreams

Dreams

If you’re lucky enough, you might remember some of your dreams when you woke up because many dreams have applicable life meaning. Sure, maybe some people think dreams are just fantasy while we are sleeping and have no use in the real world, but plenty of dream experts and enthusiasts who have taken the time to study dreams assert that a good deal of our dreams have meanings that can benefit us in the real world. The only thing we have to do is be open to this and learn what some of the explanations are for common dreams.

Take a look at some of the following common dreams and interpretations. Maybe you’ve had similar dreams. If so, see if the explanations may fit your life. Of course, dream interpretations can vary from person to person, but generally some of the common dreams indicate similar explanations. Let’s take a look:

  • You Can’t Find or Work Your Phone

Have you been in a dream, and you can’t get your phone to work, or you can’t even find your phone? Perhaps you’re trying to call or text your partner and you can’t seem to get the text to go through or the phone just isn’t working correctly. Or maybe you’re frantic trying to find it and can’t.

These types of dreams can indicate that you’re not communicating to someone the way you’d like. Maybe you are stuffing your feelings or you’re feeling like they are not open to hear you.  Pay attention to how you’re communicating or if you’re not communicating and do what it takes to keep the lines open and honest.

  • You’ve Gone Broke

Have you dreamed that you lost all your money? Maybe you lost it in a bet, the stock market, or you checked your bank account, and it was gone. Sometimes when we dream about losing our money, we feel as if we don’t have a purpose anymore or just aren’t clear what our passion and purpose is. Money in dream land sometimes signifies what is important to us in life. When we lose it, perhaps we’ve lost direction and need to take some time to re-discover our passion and purpose.

  • You’re Back in School or College

Finding yourself walking the halls of your high school or in your dorm at college is a common dream. Sometimes you even dream that you’re failing a class or a test. This could indicate that there is an area of your life that you feel like you are failing. You’re not feeling up to par in something or maybe you’ve regressed lately.

  • A Loved One is Sick or Dying

Dreaming about loved ones sick or dying can be traumatic. Keep in mind that dreaming about this does not mean that it will happen in real life. It can symbolize that you are going through a time where you feel that a part of your life is falling away. Maybe you are going through menopause and grieving the old. Maybe you are in a new relationship, and you sort of miss the single life. Dreams like this rarely mean that someone close to you will get sick or die.

  • Someone Is Chasing You

Ever been running for your life in a dream?  People chasing us are common dreams and can signify that you’re feeling run down and stressed about something. You may feel you have too much on your plate and have taken on too much. It can be a reminder to slow down and relax some.

  • Your Teeth Fallout or Break

It’s not pleasant to think of your teeth breaking or falling out. These types of dreams are common and can signify that you feel as if your life is not stable right now. It can also mean you feel like you’re regressing emotionally, as if you were an infant with no teeth. Pay attention to how you’re feeling about your stability in life right now.

  • Flying and Falling Dreams

Don’t you love it when you get to fly in your dreams? It’s such a great feeling!  On the other hand, falling in a dream can be quite frightening. If you dream that you are flying, it can indicate that you are now taking time to really delve into the realm of your consciousness. You’re becoming more awake and perhaps making connection with the spirit world, including angels. If you’re falling in a dream, it could mean that you are falling deep into your subconscious mind or ego and processing your deep feelings or past experiences. Both types of dreams indicate a spiritual message for you.

  • You’re Nude

If you’re dreaming that you are buck-naked in front of others, it could symbolize that you’re feeling vulnerable in an area of your life. Have you recently had a discussion with someone where you shared from a vulnerable place? Are you feeling as if others know about a particular problem you’re having?

These are some of the common dreams and their interpretations. It’s a great idea to write down your dreams upon awakening and pay attention to recurring themes. Dream interpretation can be a fun and rewarding process, so continue to educate yourself and feel free to read some books on the topic.  Your dreams just may be trying to tell you something.

A Guide to Dreams

A Guide to Dreams

Anyone who has kept a dream journal eventually recognized a pattern that has meaning to them. They probably will notice that there is a correlation to the events and stressors of day-to-day life.  Dreams help us solve problems and show us the nature of our soul in relation to the universe. There are a number of books on the topic of dreams, but still dreams are misunderstood.

The following are guidelines to help you better understand dress and the dreaming process.

  • Dreams offer a chance for growth

No one dream is completely meaningless.  Every tiny part, sign or symbol in a dream has some meaning about an aspect of the dreamer’s life.  Each part of a dream should be examined furthers the message can be better understood. Dreams should be looked out to discern the opportunity for growth.

  • Each dream has valuable message

Each dream has a message of value.   It is commonly said that dreams have many meanings. That is not completely true.  Different associations are within each dream, which guides the dreamer to correct meaning.  The message in dreams aren’t meant to be convoluted and cryptic. They should make sense to the dream.

  • The language of dreams is beautiful and meaningful

Sometimes dreams will be a metaphor for bigger ideas. Symbols will have a personal meaning for the dreamer and will remind them of something specific to them.  Some symbols can have meaning for a group of people.

  • Dreams are peopled by characters who play out a meaning for the dreamer.

The characters in a dream may play more than one role.  Not all of the people in our dreams are representative of our personality.  Some actually depict our perspectives and beliefs. Some mirror our attitudes and characteristics that they have in real life.

  • Even bad dreams are good

You should not fear anything in your dreams.  Even if you have a nightmare, this could merely be a warning of unresolved conflict in our lives. When you have a nightmare, it may be that you should start working your way through the things that are holding you back. If you have nightmares about global fear, this could mean that you are letting too many outside things that you have no control over give you stress.

  • “A dream not understood, is a letter left unopened.”

There are many meanings from the subconscious that is information from deep in our souls.  All of this information should be valued.  Each sign and symbol should be examined and appreciated.

  • Our dreams come from wise sources

Dreams should be directed or controlled.  They come from within our own wisdom that lies deep inside of us.   Our subconscious connects with our creative intelligence to work out our problems. If you try and guide your dreams, you are interfering with the natural processes of working out the issues from your life.

  • We gain wisdom from working to understand our dreams

Our intuition and understanding brings wisdom.  The messages in our dreams can be broken down from our intuition as opposed to being broken down by analysis.  A dream dictionary is only as good as the writer’s interpretations.  Unfortunately, symbols are not generic to the audience.  Your dreams are best interpreted with the help of a friend who knows you well. They can guide you through understanding your dreams.

Have You Had a Lucid Dream?

Lucid Dream

Lucid dreams are vague and it’s a source of intrigue for a lot of people. You can learn to practice lucid dreaming to gain spiritual benefits or overcome fears. First, though, it’s important to understand just what this process means.

What Are Lucid Dreams?

Lucid dreaming simply means that you’re dreaming while simultaneously knowing that you’re in a dream. Dreamers often achieve lucidity in the middle of a dream when they discover that their experience is not happening in physical reality but in a dream. This is typically triggered when the dreamer notices an impossible occurrence, like meeting a dead relative or flying. People can also, however, become lucid without any triggering clue. Sometimes people just realize they’re in the midst of a dream.

Lucid dreaming doesn’t require anything more than knowing that you’re dreaming. That said, the quality of lucidity varies tremendously. At a high level, you’ll know that everything occurring is in your mind and poses no real danger, and that you’ll soon wake up in your bed.

Low-level lucidity might mean that you know you’re in a dream, maybe even enough to decide to fly or change what you’re doing, but not enough to understand that the people you meet are representations or that you’re not in any danger.

How Does it Feel to Have a Lucid Dream?

Though the lucid dreaming experience is different for everyone, many describe it as very magical and intense. You’ll feel like you’ve entered another world when you become aware while in a dream. You can manipulate physical laws, and you can make your fantasies come true instantly.

Your dream will react to your thoughts, which means you can do things like eat that food you’re craving without worrying about the health risks. Speaking with a dream interpreter can help you find new ways to explore your dreams.

Are Lucid Dreams the Same as Dream Control?

Lucid dreaming and controlling your dreams are related, but they’re not the same thing. You can be lucid and have little or no control over the content of your dream, or you can have a lot of control without actually being aware that you’re dreaming. That said, becoming lucid will likely increase your level of control over the course of events.

Many dreamers, once they realize they’re lucid, decide to do something they can only do with the great freedom of the dream state. However, you still choose how much control you want to exert over your dream.

Why Have Lucid Dreams?

There are countless reasons to learn lucid dreaming. A live psychic chat is a good place to ask how lucid dreaming can benefit you. Many think first of adventure and fulfilling fantasies, and you can do that, of course. Lucid dreaming offers other benefits, though, like rehearsing for important events or achieving moments of transcendence.

Lucid dreams also allow you to overcome fears or nightmares and even have the power for physical healing. Lucid dreaming can lead you to greater physical awareness and have profound impact on your well-being. Learning to achieve lucidity in dreams will open up a new world.
