Dreams
Dreams, tell us so much. They show
us our hopes, fears and occasionally may even show us what will be.
A dream is either
- playing out a metaphorical
scenario of your fears
- playing out a metaphorical
scenario of your hopes
- playing out metaphorical events
from your life
- prophetic
Understanding our dreams
The best way to fully understand
your dream is to write it down as soon as you wake up. If you leave it,
small significant parts of the dream will disappear. Write down in as much
detail as you can, if it feels like you float from one scene to another,
be sure to write and describe everything you saw or felt.
Don't use a dream dictionary, I feel
the best way to look at your dreams is by the metaphorical things they
show.
- If you feel like you are falling, or
drowning- it's because you are having trouble dealing with whatever is in
your life...
- If you are running... you are trying to escape something in
your life... hiding... trying to hide...
- If you are climbing.... you are
trying to achieve
Only YOU know what is going on in
your head, therefore only YOU can truly find the analogy behind the
symbolism.
When we write down our dreams, it
often makes sense to us what they mean.
Nightmares
If you wake
from a bad dream... if a dream disturbs you, walk through it in your
mind and KNOW what you would do if it occurred in real life.
As our
behaviour in our dreams doesn't always reflect that which we would truly
do. However, it does often show us what we are currently doing in a metaphorical
way.
Quite often we awake from
nightmares, with a pounding heart, sometimes feeling truly afraid, scared,
worried. It is important to remind yourself it was a dream and re-play the
story in your head KNOWING what you would have done differently. And in
dreams, if you want to create an escape hatch - you can.
Prophetic dreams
It is difficult to distinguish if a
dream is prophetic at the time it occurs. If we dream of a film star dying
in a certain manner, it may just be that your mind is recalling that you
haven't seen a film by that actor in a long time or that you though the
last film they were in was rubbish.
