sleep brings glimpses of realms with different rules

Dreams possess a captivating power – they can charm, overwhelm, cause anxiety, or even open us up to innovative ideas. Yet, when we learn to interpret them as inspirational messages, they become a valuable tool in our personal growth and metaphysical toolbox.
In our modern times, we often underestimate the significance of dreams. However, in ancient cultures, dreams held a profound importance and were considered as messages from higher realms. Even children's dreams were heard and interpreted, as they were believed to carry significance for the entire community.
If dream interpretation is new to you, you may find it surprising to view your dreams in this way. On the other hand, if you are experienced in interpreting dreams differently, why not explore this method and see if it complements your existing approach?
It is important to note that this is not a dream dictionary. There are countless dream dictionaries available on the market, each with conflicting ideas and interpretations. Instead, what we offer here is a framework of understanding that will help you hone your dream interpretation skills. By using this framework, you will be able to interpret your own dreams in a meaningful way and even assist others in doing the same. Remember, it's not just about the symbols or elements in the dream; it's also about the way you narrate your dream story that can make all the difference.

what do dreams mean?

Dreams have a unique way of connecting us to our subconscious thoughts, desires, and fears. Through this process, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and tap into the wellspring of creativity and innovation that lies within. So, let's unlock the hidden messages within our dreams and embrace the transformative power they hold!
The feelings experienced by the dreamer during and after the dream play a crucial role in its interpretation. As a helpful guide for others 'dream exploration, it is essential to inquire about their emotions during and after the dream. When it comes to dream analysis, you will find the dreamer is the most accurate interpreter, once given a little guidance.
The foundation of this guidance lies in the understanding that every character or element featured in your dream represents an aspect of yourself. In essence, your dream is a reflection of you; each person or animal symbolises a part of your subconscious nature manifested in symbolic form.
Through this lens, you can gain awareness of aspects of yourself that might be currently hidden from your conscious awareness. These aspects may include traits you have yet to acknowledge, parts of yourself you may not particularly like, or even glimpses of your shadow self – the darker and more repressed elements of your personality.

uncover The Mystery Of Dreaming

When attempting to interpret dreams it can be easy to get so involved with an interesting dream story, that important aspects of the interpretation are overlooked.
Remember everyone else in your dream represents an aspect of you. It’s also good to notice that in your dreamstate your personality changes because your right brain is more dominant. You can often fly, achieve remarkable feats and often the dream is not linear, jumping around from scene to scene.
Your job as a dream analyst’s is to ask questions that can uncover the points that are missed, while remembering the final interpretation is the dreamers. With practice you can become very confident of your ability to gently guide the dreamer towards the message.
**The exception to this premise** is if the dreamer is gifted with **precognitive dreams.** In this instance the dreams are self-explanatory in these dreams the dreamer sees what will actually happen in some future event.
Usually precognitive dreamers have a history of these types of dreams and they often know what they are. It’s useful to check before attempting to interpret their dreams.

Recap

**Ask six questions you need to ask about the dream in order to break it down into understandable elements.**
1. What does the person or people I saw in my dream represent to me? Aim to recognise an aspect of yourself in them.
2. What would be the headline or short reference for the dream if you were to file it? (this is often your bottom line message)
3. What was the main event in the dream explain it in as concise a way as you can recall?
4. What do people’s 'actions' or significant events in the dream represent to you?
5. How did you feel about what happened in your dream during the dream?
6. How did you feel about it when you woke up?
**You can download a copy of the 6 questions** **here** **to print for future reference during practice, or make notes.**

applying the six questions to the case study in the video

A woman was alarmed and upset that she saw a dream where her mother died.

Transcript of the Q & A ...
Q. "What does your Mother represent to you?
A. "She’s a great mother and a caring woman, I don’t have children, but if I did she is a perfect maternal role model."
Q. "What was the headline of the dream?"
A. "My mother died."
Q. "What did your Mother dying in the dream mean to you?
A. "Loss, change, fear of unknown" (I offered up the idea of death as a rebirth. Death can be seen as transformation of the soul energy or a new beginning) It felt right to the client, she accepted that.
Q. "What were the details that happened in the dream in as concise a way as you can recall?"
A. "My mother told me things were going to change and then she closed her eyes. I knew she was dead."
Q "How did you feel about what happened in your dream?"
A. "Strangely I felt a state of calmness, as if I knew this needed to happen. Something felt right about it"
Q "How did you feel when you woke up?"

A " When I woke up I was not at all calm. I called my Mother to make sure she was okay."

Case study interpretation;

The clients' maternal and caring nature, which was represented by her Mother, was about to be changed/transformed/reborn. This was represented by her Mother dying in the dream.

Part of her would calmly accept it as she did in the dream. Part of her may panic, as she did when she woke up. She was in fear about the unknown changes or loss of what is familiar.

This 6 question technique offers a method of interpret dreams, that allow you to find personalised messages rather than using a set dream dictionary where one size fits all and often misses the finer points. We all have a unique relationships with everyone in our lives. Each one of us is different, and therefore we all have unique dream interpretations.

what about DREAMS OF THE DAY?

doing 3 case studies will help you get to grips with how to apply the technique to different dreams, both of the night and the day

It’s useful to practice interpreting your own dreams before attempting case studies
Make notes from your case study validating which parts of your interpretation people could or could not accept. Never force your own interpretation, especially if you are ‘certain!’ Whenever you are absolutely certain about something, it’s a good time to think again.
Keeping a short summary of the salient parts will help you remember if and when people come back to you with validations, which happened in the example presented on the video.
