Dreams have been studied for as long as dreams have been dreamed. So many cultures and civilizations have all been fascinated by them. Many people believe that a dream is often a representation or a message of something greater so they turn to interpretations. But in order to interpret a dream, it’s important to first know what a dream is. Well the truth is, it’s pretty hard to know exactly what a dream is. Many believe it is the minds subconscious playing out memories and random things you store in your mind. Others believe it is your subconscious sending you messages through symbolism.
It’s true when speaking on dream interpretation, symbols are the main language the dream uses to communicate a specific meaning to your consciousness. That is, if you can remember them. When a symbol causes a feeling or an idea to spark, this symbol has much more meaning than a simple word alone. At the same time, you may see a symbol but not really understand how you feel about it (having mixed emotions) or what it’s actual meaning is.
"You are your own best dream interpreter!"
These kinds of dream symbols can sometimes make us lose our mind trying to figure out, that’s because we try to find the answers outside of ourselves instead of asking the source of where they came from, us! You are your OWN BEST dream interpreter!
It can seem daunting or extremely confusing but luckily we have the internet! There are some common symbols many have interpreted, agreed upon, and published on the internet for your convenience! It’s up to you though to decide if that interpretation of that specific symbol is right for you, does it feel right? You’ll know if the meaning is right exactly by how it feels to you. It could feel familiar, exciting, or it might just put everything into perception.
Perhaps you feel more confused.
Here are some other helpful tips for interpreting.
Record your dreams.
This is the first and most important step in analyzing your dreams, Taking notes, even a few sentences that encapsulate the dream, literally draws the content of the unconscious out into the realm of the concrete.
Think you don’t dream or can’t remember your dreams? Simply keeping a journal by your bed, and writing “No dream to record” every morning. Within two weeks of this process, the person will begin to remember their dreams.(In fact, “you might open the floodgates!”)
Identify how you were feeling in the dream.
For example, Sumber suggests asking yourself: “Was I scared, angry, remorseful, etc.? Do I still feel those feelings the morning after? How comfortable am I feeling these feelings?”
Identify recurring thoughts in your dreams and daily life.
Examples of recurring thoughts: “They are going to kill me.” “I don’t understand.” Or “I’m not going to make it.” Next, ask yourself if you’ve had these thoughts throughout the day. If so, in what situations have you had these thoughts?
Remember you’re the expert.
There are no experts other than yourself when it comes to your own psyche so don’t stop trusting your own inner guide to your unconscious.
You can learn a lot from even the most mundane dreams.
You may be thinking that your dreams just aren’t fascinating, flashy or profound enough to explore. But even dreaming about having oatmeal for breakfast can yield thoughtful results, Sumber believes.
