Dream Interpretation
Dream interpretation is an art and a science. Dream interpretation
has evolved over the decades with the help of such pioneering
theorists as Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Alfred Adler and Frederick
Perls.
Dream interpretation takes into account the symbols one encounters
when one is asleep. Colors, animals, household objects, movement,
nature, relationships and scary things are all a part of dream
interpretation and analysis.
Dream interpretation helps one to unlock the hidden meanings at
night that influence one's daytime life drama. When the body is
asleep, the mind is trying to tell us what is going on in our waking
hours.
When we are sleeping the brain may through us visions and images
of being chased, naked, falling, flying, traveling or death. Dream
interpretation helps to untangle these messages into meanings that
are relevant to our waking hours.
For instance, through dream interpretation we can learn what
is behind the anxiety of taking a test or exam night after night
while we are unconscious. Through dream interpretation, we can
learn what teeth symbolize.
And, through dream interpretation we can find the
meanings behind our own sexual lives that are played out in fantasy
while our eyes are wide shut. Dream interpretation holds the key
to solving issues at work, in the family and just living our daily
lives.
Many therapists and theorists will recommend keeping
a journal by the bed so a person can record their own dreams upon
awakening. These can then be interpreted as a past event that
is unresolved or a current dilemma that needs our attention.
Interpretation of such messages is vital for us
to come to terms with who we are. Major stresses can be resolved
and past conflicts acknowledged and accepted through the method
of dream interpretation.
Dream interpretation is what you make of it. By
recording and analyzing one's unconscious images during sleep,
a person can get a handle on and solve many of life's current
dramas.
Remember that dream interpretation is about deciphering the symbols
in order to attain a greater meaningfulness and awareness in life.
And this all starts when your eyes are shut.
