Dreams

Dreams are our subconscious and superconsciouness minds at work. While we are sleeping and our bodies are at rest, our dreams give us information and let us know where we are physically, mentally and spiritually.
Not all dreams have meaning. These are your physical dreams which are caused by noise, something you ate, or laying in an uncomfortable position. These can be forgotten. But there are two other categories of dreams which should not be ignored. These are: Subconscious Dreams and Superconscious Dreams.
Subconscious Dreams-- Most of our dreams fall into this category. These dreams are usually in symbols or pictures. They are trying to tell you something. Pay close attention to these. These dreams are also the hardest to figure out because all dreams are "made to fit" for the dreamer. In other words, one symbol in your dream may not mean the same thing to someone else . For instance a dog in my dream would symbolize something positive and friendly as I happen to love dogs. However, if you have had a bad experience with a dog, then a dog in your dream could mean something negative or threatening.
There are some symbols which have the same meaning to most people. For instance, water symbolizes emotions or the spiritual: a car symbolizes yourphysical body. This is because you use a car to get around town and your soul uses your body to get around in the physical plane. Your house or home symbolizes your consciousness. Your dream is your dream and no one else's. Only you can correctly interpret the symbols in your dreams!
Superconsciouness Dreams-- These dreams are from your superconscious mind, the part of you which is the closest to God or Infinite Wisdom. This part of you holds all the answers to all your questions. At times this wisdom comes through in your dreams.
You can recognize these dreams by how clear and real they appear to be. ESP dreams fall into this category. These dreams can tell you of a possible happening in the future. For instance, many people have dreamed of planes falling from the sky only to experience this happening later.
Sometimes telling others of these dreams can prevent whatever is about to happen, and sometimes it makes no difference what anyone says. Sometimes so called "bad" things will happen no matter what. But if you have an ESP dream and you think someone may be in danger, tell the person what you dreamed. If they take your advice, it may save a life. If they don't this is their free will. Don't feel guilty as you did all you could to warn this person.
Another kind of dream which falls into this category is that of the "soul visit" dream. This is where your soul travels away from your physical body and visits the spirit world or other dimensions. These dreams are also very real and clear and usually have someone who has passed over in them.
Your soul travels during sleep. It travels in the spirit world where we go after our physical bodies die. It also travels to other times, and dimensions and planets. This is one reason why you wake up feeling tired, like you have been up all night. In a sense, you were!
Nightmares fall into the Subconscious category and are some of the most important dreams there are. This is because your subconscious mind is trying very hard to either warn you of something or get you to pay attention to something that you are doing or not doing. These are the most beneficial dreams to interpret.
If you want to learn how to interpret you dreams you can do this by keeping a dream journal. Try this:
1) As soon as you wake up in the mornings or right after a dream, write it down. Even if it is fragmented or makes no sense, or even if there isn't much to write down. Whatever you can remember, write it down. Don't wait until later as you will forget most of the dream very quickly.
2) Work on interpreting the symbols in your dreams. What does the symbol mean to you? Get a dream symbol interpretation book and look up the symbols in your dream. But remember, the meaning of the symbol in the book may not hold the same meaning for you, but it may help you interpret your own symbols.
3) Decide on what these symbols mean to you.
4) Write a summary of your dream or dreams (sometimes we have more than one dream per night).
5) Keep each dream dated and numbered. This is so that you can check back later to see if your dreams relate to your daily life experiences.
6) Look over your dream sheets from time to time and notice if anything seems familiar to you. Does something in your dream remind you of something in your daily life?
Following are a few of the most popular symbols in dreams and their general meaning:
Your vehicle—your body Your home—where you live mentally and emotionally
Water—emotions or spirituality /Clear water represents spirituality/Muddy water represents your confused emotions
Trees—knowledge
Coffin—death of an old habit or physical death. Most dreams with death symbols do not relate to a physical death. Once you get into the habit of writing down your dreams, you will start to remember more and more details.
If you are too busy to write and interpret your dreams during the week, try doing it just on the weekends. Before you go to sleep each night, say to yourself, "My important dreams must wait until the weekend". This will help to direct your higher self to guide your dreams to that time of the week.
Take special care to write down all your nightmares, as these are the most important dreams!
