Dreams have been a mystery to us since Adam first breathed life. The stuff of legends, myth and fairy tale, dreams have always fascinated mankind. If you too have wondered about what dreams are all about, read on …
Dreams are a communication of body, mind and spirit in a symbolic communicative environmental state of being. Your brain mind and spirit, while at rest “review” and analyze in it’s own way long term, short term and spirit memory. It kicks around emotions, thoughts, ideas, actions and interactions of the short term memory. It has in it’s background the trends of your life and philosophy to influence it. Your mind is also processing spiritual data, your beliefs, whether or not you violated them, your information gained through psychic intuition (we ALL have this to a certain degree) and of course, any communication from God.
ALL THIS data, as well as your subconscious “reading between the lines” of what people do and tell you, is then processed unsupervised by you! All this data is a form of chaos, and your mind (like seeing images in wood grain or clouds) puts it all together in a form of visual “screenplay”, a medley of sight, sound, emotion and imagined interactivity. The end result is … you guessed it - a dream!
Ahh but would it not be nice if it were that simple! Dreams are easily influenced by factors in your life and spirit, and these influences create “categories” that are almost infinite. We do broadly categorize them in terms like “prophetic, standard, physical and nightmare” (to name just a few). Many things can be gained from dreams, better health (mental and physical), entertainment and even financial gain! (dreaming of a invention or idea) Now that you know some of the basics about dreaming you should have a better grasp on how to understand and use your dreams.
Dreams have specific themes underlying them. In order to analyze our dreams its important to identify these themes. Once these themes are identified then they can be matched with what is happening in real life and we can then make sense of our dreams. Themes come easily and you can fit them into your life accordingly. Symbols in a dream, are actually the elements that make up the details. There are a certain amount of symbols that seem to always mean the same thing for people all the time.
- Animals: They symbolize our own traits, good and bad.
- Automobiles or vehicles: Vehicles that you ride in usually reflect two things; the direction you are heading in life, and your body
- Children: A child represents to most of us, something new, different and joyous.
- Clothing: When you get into different moods you tend to choose different clothing, so clothing, for this reason best symbolizes your mood or state of mind. They also signify attitude.
- Death: Nearly any dream you have that refers to death, dying or attending a funeral, or the like, pertain to change.
- Buildings: The building in a dream usually points directly to a specific area of your life.
- People: People most often portrayed in dreams are actually reflections of your own personality traits, provided the dream is not prophetic.
