Recognize patterns
Know when your dream interpretation is correct
Keep a dream journal next to your bed and write down everything you remember
of your dreams on waking.
NEXT
Write down everything, even if it doesn't make
sense. The things that don't make sense or seem out of place may end up being the
most valuable insights.
BACK
It might be tempting to connect separate symbols in your dreams by overlaying them with a plot of
sorts, in order to make more sense of it all.
BACK
Dream dictionaries and dream interpretation aids can be of some assistance
in a very general way.
BACK
Are there particular events going on in your daily life that have elements of concern, or that lack resolution for you?
BACK
You may be having a dream that addresses these events in a
straightforward way. If so, your interpretation job is simple.
BACK
They are a means by which you can solve problems that
have been dogging you throughout the day, week, or month, even where your worries are not conscious.
NEXT
Dreams help you to learn as you process the day's
experiences.
You ought to be a little cleverer at whatever it
was you learned the day before.
BACK
All your dreams, abstract or not, are coming from you,
and they all have some kind of truth and meaning.
NEXT
Pay close attention to the emotions the dream elicits - that's the key to figuring
out what it means.
NEXT
Your dreams will hardly ever tell you something that you don't already
know on some level – it's just more likely that you have been repressing or
pushing something aside.
BACK
Dream interpretation definitely gets better with practice, since with each interpretation you gain a better understanding of your own subconscious.
NEXT
While dream interpretation is fairly intuitive and self-
directed in nature, it can be helpful to have some
generalized examples to guide you in ways that
people choose to interpret their dreams.
BACK
Over time, you'll start seeing the same things pop
up in your dreams. Take note of them in your dream journal, and pay attention to what emotions surround
them.
BACK
The key thing to remember is that there are no rules to dream interpretation
and so there are no rights or wrongs to the
interpretation process.
NEXT
It's all down to your self-honesty, self-knowledge and willingness to apply your dream knowledge to your waking life situations.
NEXT
Your interpretation resonates with you and the path you're following in life.
Interpreting your dreams adds something positive to your personal growth and emotional or spiritual fulfillment.
Acting upon your dreams is not only becoming second nature, but is giving you good, positive results.
If it's not working for you, are you allowing yourself to get over the initial hurdles of confusion or skepticism before finally tossing in the towel on using dream interpretation as a means of self awareness?
Keep in mind, dreams are a subjective thing; murky at best, but always entertaining.
