How do you interpret your dreams? What ways?

If it is happy I suspect something good is happening. If it isn't I'm more careful.

I just learned this... When people have worries or anticipations their unconcious mind comes alive during their sleep. Every dream has a meaning. If it's a nightmare, evaluate the dream there may be something in the dream that you need to recognize. Dreams are always telling you something!

It has actually been suggested that our dreams are a state where we are programmed to do whatever is is we're going to do the next day, month, year, etc. As for myself I really don't know, I guess that's kinda how I look at it. I find that sometimes they might be telling us something, or that they may simply be flashbacks from our past.

Keep a dream diary beside your bed and write it all down as soon as you wake up. Check out the tons of dream dictionary sites online for specific images in your dreams. It's up to you and your faith if you wanna believe in what each image means. Dreaming with your dad is cool. My mom died 2 years ago and all my dreams still include her in them. And she's alive in them.

Dreams are very personal things so dream dictionaries are mostly useless unless you have a 'big dream' in which case swot up on your mythology etc (read some Carl Jung - archetypes etc). One of the best dream books I ever read was The Dream Game by Ann Faraday - based on Gestalt theory - very practical way of analysing your dreams. Good luck!

The mind holds onto issues that need resolved; subconscious memories. Keep a journal by your bed and write down your dreams, then, when you have a week's worth, read them all and, hopefully, there'll be a pattern and you should be able to see what it is you need to take care of. I hope this helps.

get a life...dreams are the subconscious wishing or fearing something is going to happen.

Dream analysis is something only you can do. Early psychologists like Freud tried to analyze dreams, but they relied on universal symbols which ended up being wayyyy to culturally (and individually even) constrained. For instance, in Western culture, a dragon may mean something scary or creepy, huge, destructive. The chineese see the dragon as a playful symbol of good luck. So if you dream about a dragon what does it mean? Maybe that you had heartburn.

Dreams are of our subconscious mind, therefore they may seem distorted to some, but in actuality are very real parts of our being.  They can be strongly influenced we are facing strong emotions in our life - hence giving you the very real sense of your senses in your dream.  There have been many times that my husband has had to wake me as I was running and crying - left over results of an alcoholic, abusive marriage- he has learned to wake me slowly and gently and then remind me of my surroundings.  So some can be bad.  He also knows there is one where I somewhat purr and he talks to me and I tell him later, that I have to lie at the alter of the Lord and I'm to ashamed to offer any more than this.  He then goes back off to sleep and says within minutes I'll be up writing a story book or poetry or a letter to someone based upon my time in the dream.  Our subconscious can often be a safe outlet for what we cannot consciously do.  Those around us, like my husband have to learn this.  Several times he has woke cussing terrible and swinging his arm and pointing his finger and as I've listened he's been given his Dad what for - something he can't feel he can do in person. So dreams do not have "dream book" meanings - they have meanings to you as an individual.  God will reveal them to you if you ask him. and if he doesn't, then I've learned I don't need to know.

dream interrpetation has held alot of people spellbound for a long time and, depending on who you talk to meanings will vary.  But from a psych point of view the standard answer is this...whatever you don't deal with while you are awake, either conciously or unconciously, you deal with in your dreams.  Dreams are sometimes very literal and sometimes more sybollic but they are always about and deal with stuff in your life.  Some are warnings some are answers and some are nothing.  Depends on YOU and what is going on in YOUR life.

One of the things I do is dream interpretation. And a rule of thumb in so far as dreams go and are they significant is ... IF you have the same dream over and over, or IF you have it only once but it has a real impact on you, like you can't get it out of your head, in these two cases the dream has significance. Other wise its just being overly tired prior to sleeping, the subconscious at work for what ever reason, something you ate prior to bed time, etc. And a good book on dream interpretation, and by "good book" I don't mean one of those that gives you lottery numbers based on symbols lol, might help you better understand the significance of YOURS. Or you might talk with someone well versed in symbolism, like a good psychological counselor or psychic reader. Hope this helps. :-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Dreams are usually manifestations of what you were thinking while awake. They can mean just about whatever you want them to mean.

I've found that with prophetic dreams - they're very vivid and memorable. You'll often feel extremely unsettled after them. The hard part is learning the symbolism. I used to have prophetic dreams that told me when I'd hear from a publisher about some of my work. I'd dream about dead cats. Finally - after about 5 years of these recurring dead animal dreams, the cats were finally alive, then they became background parts of the dream and the dreams became more direct. Like I'd be directly talking to editors in the dream and the next day I'd get phone calls or a letter (e-mail).  \n\nThat's the hard part is figuring out what your mind is trying to tell you. Cats - Publishing -- it's like comparing clocks to sausages. You never know, dreaming about a Holy City could mean you're going to someone's funeral or it could mean that eventually you and your kids will spend time together.  It couls just be a foretelling of your marriage to your bf. :) \n\nI keep dream journals exclusively to look for patterns in my dreams.

dreams are abstract form of what u think whole day .. whole week or say which keeps getting collected in your sub-conscience.\nall things in ur sub conscinece takes an abstract visual form in ur mind which appears when u close ur eyes and sleep...when u can see nothing else\n\nnow if u see some dream 3 times it definetly indicates something... and is realted to something u are thinking of or u want in your real life.\n\nWhether it will come true or not?? ... dream can come true ..but it has nothing to do with how many times u saw..and what sequence they followed. its just ur abstract visaulization came true in real life. its sometimes just a co-incedence and sometimes fate.

I believe dreams mean something but you can never really be sure of what sometimes dreams are so weird and random and others are pretty normal.  I've often thought of dreams as your brain resolving conflicts or trying to while you sleep possibly to reduce stress or clear your mind whatever.  But Sigmund Freud wrote a lot about the interpretations of dreams so go to a library and look at his stuff but he also thought everything we did as humans was for some sexual reason.

Strange dreams, usually *very* vivid and intense, full color, stereo, touch and smell engaged too...sometimes they are sexy dreams, but they are almost always intense enough that at least a third of them feel like I'm actually *in* a different reality (as in paying an alternate-earth version of myself a visit more than dreaming).\n\nAs for nightmares, I really can't say.  :)  My head is too messed up.  The first real nightmare I had, I had when I was eight years old.\n\nIt was a dream of being *shot*.  By an intruder, with a gun, and a bullet, in my *head*.  I didn't wake up until that bullet had hit, and ripped its way into my brain, in ultra-slow-motion, and passed about halfway through, spinning as if rifled all the way.\n\nSo yeah, you could say....maybe I do have nightmares, but I lost my capacity to be *scared* of my dreams a long *long* time ago.
