Dreams
‘The skilful interpreter of dreams is he who has the faculty
of observing resemblances’
Aristotle
Many people think that
‘Dreams’ and ‘Dreaming’ are purely symbolic – ie the dream itself can be
interpreted simply by the ‘symbol’ in it – ie horses or teeth or flying. This is not correct. And dreams are not solely about what has
happened to us, they can help us solve problems too.
There are in fact several
elements involved in interpreting your dreams and only one of them is
‘symbols’. There’s also a
classification of dreams to understand (more below); what the dream
language is saying; what colour is dominant in the dream; as well as dream
settings; dreams in literal and dream stories.
Classification of Dreams has two elements to it: (1) is the Function /
Purpose of the dream and (2) the Content / Theme of the dream. Examples of each are:
(1) Function / Purpose can be:
a)
wish fulfilment
b)
problem solving
c)
creative
d)
compensatory
e)
physiological
f)
factual
g)
lucid
h)
recurring
i)
prophetic/clairvoyant
j)
past life memory
(2) Content / Theme can be:
a. affluence
b. travel
c. being chased
d. being trapped
e. frustration
f.
falling
g. sex
h. aggression
i.
being naked
So a professional ‘Step
by Step Dream Interpretation’ would be looking at these areas as well as
taking into account the classification of the dream:
Step 8 Dominant symbolism/any which stand out
However, when we dream we
can either dream about things that have happened to us already – with our body
and brain sorting out our experiences for us before they go into the
subconscious storage locker , or we can seek to focus on the future, or we can
set our brain the task of working out a problem for us.
So dreams can be a very
useful tool to know and interpret – when done correctly.
Should you wish to use any of the techniques or
procedures described on these pages, you accept full
responsibility for your own emotional, psychological,
mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing and health.
