Interpret Dream To Find Inner Thoughts
By Janine Jensenoris
Many times you’ll have a completely off-the-wall dream
and say, "Wow, wasn’t that weird?" Other times,
the parallels between the world of dreams and your real
life are so close that you’re tempted to interpret dream
symbols.
Research into dreams finds that generally we ascribe
more meaning to dreams that coincide with our preconceived
notions. For instance, we believe good dreams about
friends and bad dreams about people we dislike, but
reject dreams that conflict with these paradigms.
Psychologists posit that we may also create self-fulfilling
prophecies -- meaning that we make our dreams come true,
by inadvertently talking about our dreams, thinking
about our dreams and dealing with others as if our dreams
have substantive meaning.
Finding A Deeper Meaning
Whether you’re an avid dreamer or still mastering your
ability to recall dreams, learning how to figure out
the deeper meanings behind your nocturnal reveries can
be a rewarding and powerful tool in your life.
The first step towards learning how to interpret the
meaning of your dreams is to facilitate dream recall
and keep a journal. Experts recommend setting up a regular
sleep schedule and abstaining from drugs or alcohol
before bedtime.
Keep Hitting The Snooze Button For More Fantastic
Dreams
Typically, we get our best sleep in the wee hours of
the morning, so you might want to set you alarm a couple
hours before you’re scheduled to get up, so you can
keep hitting the snooze button and having fantastic
dreams.
Lucid dreams often come after someone has gotten out
of bed, spent a few hours doing light housework or reading,
and then hitting the hay again for just a few hours
more.
Books And Dream Guides
There are many books out there to help you interpret
dream meanings. Some of the most well-respected authors
include Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Ann Faraday, and Marie-Louise
von Franz.
In addition to these academic works, there are scores
of books you may use as a dream dictionary or "how-to"
guide. These guides encourage you not to always take
dreams so literally, but to look deeper.
Images Fresh In Your Mind
For instance, you might have a nightmare about being
raped. This does not necessarily mean you fear this
all the time, but it might symbolize that you fear losing
control over something in your life or that you feel
helpless in a certain situation.
On the other hand, you may remember dreams that don’t
really have a deeper meaning at all. For example, you
may fall asleep watching a movie about pirates and then
dream that you’re on a pirate ship because the images
are fresh in your mind.
Chase, Falling And Flying Dreams
Once you remember and record your dreams, you may wish
to interpret dream meanings by understanding and review
some of the most common dreams you may encounter. For
example, many people have chase dreams, which imply
they are fearful of something, they need a new method
of handling stress or they are acting destructively.
Falling dreams may symbolize insecurity, instability,
yielding to a sexual urge or feeling helpless and inferior.
On the other hand, flying dreams reveal that a person
is on top of a situation and strong-minded.
A Desire To Be Noticed
Naked dreams imply a desire to be noticed, the fear
of disgrace or the inability to conceal something. Teeth
dreams show a sense of powerlessness, lack of self-confidence
or the need to keep some thoughts to yourself.
School test dreams reveal your fears that others are
judging you or that you are not performing as well as
you could.

How do people interpret dreams?
People will often interpret parts
of the dream sequence and then research various books
and online websites to determine what those images mean.
Many people assign a certain meaning of a dream with
a certain real life feeling or apprehension.
If you go to a professional therapist
or psychiatrist they may ask you what you think the
images mean. There really is no set definition as to
what an image or a series of images mean. It is often
up to personal interpretation.
