Dreams communicate meaning and emotion through
making use of symbols of which the meaning will depend on the context of your
dream as well as personality and what your life is about at the time,
situations that you may find yourself in that you may be looking for answers
within your life. These symbols are commonly called 'archetypes'. A good dream interpretation
book will be invaluable to your interpretation, there are many and you need to
scrutinize the book before purchasing in order to see if the book is for you.
There are four main types of dreams:
1) Body-processing
2) Symbolic Dreams
3) Guidance Dreams
4) Astral Body Dreams
Write down your dream as soon as you wake up, this will help you
to remember with clarity. A person tends to think that the memory will remember
but surprisingly 10 minutes after waking up the memory already fades, so my
advice is to keep a dream journal.
When interpreting a dream link it to yourself and play with ideas
such as should you have a dream about saving a child from drowning then you
could use the format of “saving myself from drowning” which could be interpreted
as going under possibly financially. Whatever you do not take a dream literally
so in this case don’t go out there looking for a drowning baby, the dream may
also be a message linking to those around you so do not only link it to
yourself but look at the broader picture. Think of a puzzle that you have to
unravel, sometimes a dream just becomes clear when you have written it down and
you read it through.
