Some Tips for Dream Interpretation
Dream
Interpretation Guide
A1.
After you dream, try to recall the main details of your dream. The
things that stood out and the emotions that you felt. You should do this
immediately after you wake up, because you’re more likely to remember the dream
and the feelings that were attached. Also, when you first wake up, you’re more
likely to gain insights and awareness about
your dreams.
A2.
Studies suggest that sleep refreshes our thinking and makes them clear. When
we first wake up, we’re most likely to have an insight because sleep sorts out
information that we experience during the day and solves problems we couldn’t
solve. Hence, when you wake up, this is also the best time to try to understand
your dreams as your thinking is most clear.
A3. The
main things to note in your dreams are your emotions and salient events
triggering those emotions. What emotions did you feel? Fear, desire,
anger, sadness, disgust, happiness, surprise? What were you dreaming about? How
or why might those dream cause you to feel those emotions? What life problems
outside the dreams are you currently experiencing? How might your dreams relate
to those experiences? Figuring out the answers to these questions can help you
make sense of your dreams.
A4. If
it helps, refer to one of those dream and symbols interpreters guide. For
example, dreammoods is a really good one. Dreammoods tells you about the
symbolism of each dream events. For example, it tells you what it means to
dream about a snake, a lightbulb, a hallway, being chased etc? It has over like
1000 different dream symbols. Even though the meaning of a dream is unique to
yourself and your own life experiences, these guide can help you figure out
their meaning if you really don’t have the insight you need.
A5. Pay
attention to common themes and reoccurring types of dreams. These
are the dreams where you keep dreaming about the same things or have the same
emotion. What do you keep dreaming about? What do you keep seeing? What do you
keep feeling from these dream? What do you
want most or fear most from life? These reoccurring themes or dreams could tell
you about something that keeps bothering you.
A6.
Note that even though reoccurring dreams or themes could be trying to tell you
something important, a lot of dreams are also meaningless. Dreams
are just the random firing of neurons from things you perceive in everyday life
and your brain making random images out of them. Hence, do not put too much
weight into trying to understand your dreams even though they can be fun to do.
