The Shortest Lesson in Dream Interpretation
Lets start by what dreams are not… They are not images from another world; they are not messages from the future; they are not coming from another dimension; even if you see a terrible dream where you die or someone you love dies, that doesn’t mean that this is going to happen. Dreams can be scary but they are not to be feared.
No one knows “The truth” about the meaning of dreams. We don’t know what dreams are like we know what an apple is. We have some good theories but nothing has proven yet. We don’t have a formula inside of which you can put your dream and get “The Meaning” out.
I am going to give you two examples of dream interpretation here and you will quickly understand how dream interpretation works for me. I say “For me” because there are different theories out there and this is the one that works for me. I have been doing it this particular way for the past 30 years.
First a bit of a back ground; I have been having a great concern about my financial situation lately and I am ignoring it. I am focusing on other areas of my life but this one area I am ignoring and I know I am ignoring it and I am worrying about it at the same time.
In one of the dreams I am trying to park my car between two cars on the side of a street. I am gently moving forward watching carefully if the front of the car will hit the back bumper of the car in front of me. I gently come close and stop. I put the car in reverse and without paying much attention gently touch the car behind me and hear a little bump. Then I move forward a bit and get out of the car to check how I parked. I notice the front is OK but when I check the back… I see that I have climbed over the hood of the car that is behind me and destroyed the back of my car. I say to my self… “I should have paid more attention.”
In the other dream I am floating on my chest in a pool while holding my breath. I am slowly sinking to the bottom of the pool and as I am sinking I get a bit worried but I think to my self… once I get to the bottom I can just push off. Well… I get to the bottom and I try to push off and I cannot. I start to panic and wake up.
In both dreams I have concerns; in the car parking dream I am paying attention to the front of the car and not the back. The front of the car represents other parts of my life and the back of the car represents the financial situation I am worried about and not paying too much attention to. And the back of the car, in the dream, is ruined. In the case of the swimming pool, I am not starting to come up the moment I have a concern about “coming up to the surface,” but rather I decide to wait until I hit the bottom. This is clearly what I am doing with my financial situation waiting until I hit bottom.
So… you get the idea. Dreams are like that and notice one other thing; I am the best person who can interpret my dream because I am the one who knows my life situations. In counseling when interpretations are done, the counselor asks a lot of questions to the individual about their life in an attempt to see where the dream fits.
