Dreams are often "internal movies" that portray
the thoughts and feelings of your subconscious
mind at the time of the dream. A dream is often a
snapshot of your current or recent life, or one
aspect of your life, portrayed the way your
subconscious mind sees it. Often the
subconscious mind will create a visual story
using symbols that represent your deepest
thoughts and feelings at the time of the dream.
There are many theories about why we dream,
but no one knows for sure. It would make
sense that the subconscious mind would use
dreams as a way to "think through" important
matters or problems, to analyze potential
problems or dangers, or replay past pleasant
experiences or create new ones.
Often, the meaning of a dream is
much different than the obvious
meaning of events in the dream. For
example, a dream that you have lost
your keys most likely has nothing
to do with actually losing your keys,
but probably has to do with a
feeling of losing touch with your
self-identity and who you really are.
Message A Message Dream contains
information from a source outside of
yourself; usually with an indication that you
or someone else needs to know something
or that some action may be needed.
The purpose of the message could be
to clarify a situation in your life, reassure
you that you are on the right track or tell
you that you are off-track ,and the like.
Premonition
A Premonition Dream predicts or gives some
indication of actual future events. The only
ways to discern a premonition dream from
any other kind of dream are:
Through your own intuitive inner
knowing.
By having it verified by an intuitive
expert.
By waiting to see if the premonition
actually comes true.
Rehearsal
A Rehearsal Dream involves a run-through of an
actual planned event you're expecting in the near
future. This type of dream allows the
subconscious to prepare in advance for an
important or potentially traumatic event.
Depending on your emotions about the event,
your subconscious may choose to run through
either the best-case scenario, or the worst-case
scenario . The dream tells you what your fears
are, you have a chance to work through them
before the event, if you choose to.
Symbolism
A dream contains symbolism when one or
more key elements, or symbols, are featured
prominently and the dreamer experiences
those elements as having great significance
(even if the dreamer doesn't know what the
symbol means). These key elements almost
always represent something other than
themselves and carry a hidden, deeper
meaning.
Timeline
A Timeline Dream presents a sequence
of events or elements from a portion of
your life, beginning at a certain point in
your life and ending at a later point. A
timeline dream usually portrays a series
of events from the past, but can also
include current and future events or
situations.
A Toxic Dream is usually a very realistic, upsetting dream . They are
usually terrible nightmares and their purpose is often simply as a
signal that you went to bed in a physically toxic state. These dreams
can result from a number of factors the day before, including:
o
Eating carbohydrates (sugar, white flour), processed or junk
food.
o
Eating any foods within 2 hours before going to bed.
o
Ingesting drugs or other substances that stress the body.
o
Encountering environmental toxins (exhaust fumes, etc.).
o
Being stressed
o
Being emotionally toxic, such as going to bed angry or hateful
o
Not getting enough rest
Activities
A particular activity or task in a dream
can represent that actual activity in your life (usually
something you've done recently or is on your mind for
the future).
Also, very often, an activity represents
something completely different, but with some similar
characteristic.
For instance, dreaming that someone steals
your keys often means you're feeling like you're losing
your self-identity, or that someone or something is
"crossing your boundaries"—or you're afraid they will.
Animals
A dream about a particular animal often means
that certain qualities of that animal are significant to you
right now.
Think of what that animal symbolizes to you, and
what the standard ideas about the animal are. For
example, a mule is usually thought of as stubborn).
Notice what the animal is doing in the dream, and
how they are doing it. For example, a dog who is digging
a hole may mean that treasure lies in hidden places and
you'll need to go looking for it.
Colours
Often represent moods, feelings, or a sense
about the object or situation where the color
appears. Colours that stand out in a dream
are often very important symbols.
For instance, a person wearing all
black can mean your subconscious is
portraying them as sad or mourning a loss,
or as very formal in their manner or style
Conditions
The condition or state of something in a
dream can have important meaning,
sometimes even more important that the
meaning of the object itself.
For example, in a dream about a broken
leg, the condition of the leg (broken) is the
key factor in the dream. The leg is a symbol
of moving forward, but the fact that it's
broken would mean you're feeling unable to
move forward.
Emotions
Emotions in dreams often represent themselves, although the
subconscious mind may be exaggerating them in the dream.
For instance, if you are feeling angry or happy during
a dream, you are likely truly angry or happy about what's
happening in the dream—and also about what it represents in
real life.
An angry person in a dream who comes up and hits
you could represent your feeling that the world is an
aggressive or negative place, or a recent real-life event where
you experienced someone else's anger—or anger in some
context that happens to be on your subconscious mind.
Insects and bugs
A dream about a particular insect often means that
certain qualities of that insect are significant to you
right now. Think of what that insect symbolizes to you,
and what the standard ideas about the insect are.
For example, ants are usually thought of as
industrious and well-organized. Notice what the insect
is doing in the dream, and how they are doing it. For
example, a bee that is gathering nectar might represent
enjoying the sweeter things in life, whereas an angry
bee buzzing around your head may represent a
nuisance or threat.
Objects
An object in a dream often represents the characteristics
you attribute to that object. Meaning, if you dream about
your watch that has been stopping a lot lately, your watch
may represent your feeling that you're life has felt "stopped"
or interrupted lately.
Also, the significance of an object in a dream may
not be what it is, but it's context—how it is placed or where it
appears.
For instance, an object that's out of place or in an
unusual place can mean that whatever that object
represents in real life feels "out of place" or off right now.
Parts of the body
A part of the body (knee, elbow, head) often represents one of the
main functions of that body part.
For example, dreaming that you break your leg can
represent trouble moving forward or making progress in your life,
since the legs are what enable you to literally move forward when
you walk.
Dreaming that you can't open your mouth to talk might
mean you're feeling unable to express yourself right now.
Occasionally, dreaming about a particular part of the body
can result from actual physical pain or other sensation in that part
of your body while you're sleeping. For example, dreaming that your
head has swelled up 10 times its normal size could be a result of an
actual headache while you're sleeping.
People
A person in a dream can represent that actual
person, or the characteristics you attribute to
that person. Meaning, if you dream about
your boss who is always in a hurry, your
boss may represent himself, or he may
represent the idea of hurrying: for example, a
feeling like you need to hurry something, or
that you are hurrying too much or need more
patience.
Places
Places can indicate the setting of a dream, a
mood, an event, or many other things. For
example, many people dream that they are in a
house—which usually represents the dreamers
life or one aspect of their life (home life, work
life).
A dream that takes place in a
graveyard can indicate a dreary or depressing
mood or a feeling of dream or sorrow.
Dreaming of a Superbowl stadium can
represent an actual game or something that is
sporting or game-like.
