Night dreams are hard to interpret. Yet our culture has always been fascinated with these nighttime encounters.
- Usually, dreams are stories, although they often take the form of nonsensical plots and weird characters, placing together people and scenes in ways that couldn’t possibly occur in real life.
- For this reason, most of us quickly lost interest in trying to interpret them.
- The images are too difficult, so we dismiss the jumble of scenes as practically useless and go on with our day.
Experts tell us that dreams have important meanings lying hidden in the symbolism.
- Dream symbolism, which is the mythological or archetypal meanings that can be assigned to the various elements in dreams.
- from animals to acts of murder, flight, or stealing
The key to discovering the synchronicity of dreams is to ultimately go beyond the standard interpretation of these symbols and focus on the larger picture:
- The meaning surrounding the plot and characters of the dream.
- Here we can find messages of a more personal nature that often pertain directly to the specific situations we face in our lives.
The key to understanding the dream’s message is to compare the basic plot of the dream with the real situation in our individual world.
- Perhaps this dream is telling us to wake up and see the conflict and know that a potential solution can be found if we pay attention.
What about characters in the dream? Although the characters may be strange, we must ask how they might symbolize real people with who we are currently having important interactions.
- Are we seeing the people in our lives accurately?
- Perhaps the dream is telling us something about who these people really are, for better or worse.
It is important to journal. Many dreams can be prophetic and amazingly instructive later.
