Dream Interpretation As a Science
Fire has two meanings in dreams, depending on the way it appears. When you see it in a fireplace, this means that you will find support concerning a certain matter of your life. In this case the fire has a positive meaning, because it is the protection of warmth, saving you from the cold weather, and even cooking your food.
Dream Interpretation and Types of Dreams
Dream researchers have discovered several distinct categories of dreams, and these dream categories can be very useful both to people attempting to interpret their own dreams and to professional psychologist and therapists striving to interpret the dreams of others. This article will discuss these categories of dreams. Dream #1 – the Daydream While not technically a dream, since it takes place while we are awake, researchers are looking into just where the daydream fits on the spectrum of dreaming, and what it can teach us about more traditional dreams. It is estimated that most people spend between 70 and 120 minutes each day engaged in daydreaming. Daydreaming is thought to be a level of consciousness below that of a normal waking state but above that of sleep. Daydreaming falls about midway between these two extremes. During a daydream, we allow our imaginations to take us away from the mundane tasks of the day. As the mind is allowed to wander and conscious awareness is reduced, we can become lost in the fantasy or imaginary scenario. Dream #2 – the Lucid Dream Lucid dreams are among the most fascinating subjects in all of dream research. Lucid dreaming takes place when the [...]
Understanding the world of dreams
Dreams provide us with a fascinating glimpse into the subconscious world, and many people see dream interpretation as a way to diagnose and treat real world problems. This trust in dream analysis does have some basis in fact, and many psychologists and therapists use dreams in treating patients who are recovering from trauma. These trauma survivors often suffer from recurring dreams and nightmare scenarios, and the fact that dream therapy works proves the strong connection between the waking world and the world of dreams. For most people, however, analyzing their dreams is nothing but a fun diversion and a source of insight into their everyday lives. In order to gain insight into your dreams, it is important to understand what some common dream objects symbolize. Of course every dream, and every dreamer is different, and this list is by no means comprehensive. Every object encountered in a dream will have a different interpretation, depending on its context within the dream and the state of the dreamer. Alien There are several types of alien dreams. Dreams in which the dreamer is an alien can represent that he or she is unsure about a new house, new town or new job. On [...]
Follow Your Dream, It Is The Meaning Of Your Life!
Everybody has goals and dreams. These dreams are at the center of who you really are. It is the core essence of who you are as a person, and the very purpose of your BEING. What you are dreaming of accomplishing in your life is God’s way of getting you involved in his Master Plan. You were gifted with a set of dreams and talents, in the hope that you would act out these passions, follow your dreams and thusly move forward in life. It’s really a great pity that we’ve been told already since early childhood that we should stop dreaming and start “living.” What a mistake! Living IS dreaming! This is exactly why we are here: to pursue our dreams! Not for selfish reasons, but for the sake of everybody. By following MY dreams, I am becoming a better person, a happy person, shining brightly like a sun, lightening up the lives of those around me. If I decide to forget about my dreams, then I will become like a plant without water or sunlight, leaves hanging down, begging for water and looking rather miserable. Am I of any help to myself or to the world when I [...]
The Nature of Dreaming: A Doorway into Multiple Realities
There are different kinds of dreams that we dream, and each has a value in its own right and must be taken seriously as a representative of an aspect of our consciousness. Some dreams seem peripheral to everyday life. They have fantastic characters, absurd plots, and linger in our minds for a very brief period of time because they seem to make no sense at all to our conscious waking experience. Other dreams have a strong emotional message that can be felt in the body, even if the actual content of the dream is not entirely understood. Often, the emotional component of a dream message is the central aspect of the teaching, and so it is often not necessary to understand the content further, no matter how much it might add to our knowledge. Finally, there are dreams whose emotional content and meaning is very clear and very relevant to our conscious waking state. These dreams also fall into several distinct categories: There are those that have to do with everyday life – with relationships, past or present, with longings or fears that we are aware of, with repetitive themes in our mental or emotional experience. These dreams seem to [...]
A brief history of dreams and their interpretation
The interpretation of dreams by dream experts may be almost as old as dreaming itself. We know that all humans, and many animals, dream every night, and humans have always been fascinated to learn what causes dreams and what they mean. The interpretation of dreams dates back at least as far as 3000-4000 B.C. We know that because the interpretations of dreams were recorded in permanent form on clay tablets. It is thought that many primitive peoples were unable to initially distinguish between the real world and the dream world. In many cases, these people looked upon the dream world as an extension of the physical world around them, and in many cases they saw the dream world as more powerful than the waking one. Dream interpretation was such an important field to the ancient Greek and Roman world that dream interpreters often accompanied generals and other military leaders into battles. Dreams were taken extremely seriously, and the Greeks and Romans in particular often viewed dreams as messages sent by their gods. Dreams also had a religious content in ancient Egypt, and priests their doubled as dream interpreters. Dreams were among the items recorded by the ancient Egyptians in the [...]
Field of Dreams
Not too long ago we Americans became quite certain that our lifestyle represented the pinnacle of civilized progress and the best in scientific and technological advancement. What we as a nation had achieved, so we thought, was a dream come true. And it is this ‘American Dream’ that we have held out to (or perhaps thrust upon) the rest of the world as the genuine meaning of the ‘good life’ and the proper goal or end of human existence. After all, it was our economics, our politics, our science and technology that conceived of and articulated this ‘dream world’ to begin with… a world of personal automobiles in every garage, single family homes with private fenced yards, well designed and manicured suburbs, credit cards on demand, all the latest modern conveniences, electronic gadgets and games galore for children and adults alike. So now that the world is facing multiple crises of global proportions – environmentally, ecologically, financially, economically, politically, psychologically and spiritually – where do we lay the blame? Where do we look to better understand the roots of such crises? While pursuit of the American Dream may be initially fingered as a proximate cause of our global crisis, we [...]
Understanding the Meaning of Your Dreams
Often people wonder why we have dreams and whether or not they really mean anything significant and chances are you will hear all kinds of responses to the question. What does it mean when you falling in a dream? What does it mean when your dream takes place in your own home or apartment? What does it mean when you fly in your dreams? These are all questions that we will look at here and try to come up with a few ideas as to what such dreams could mean. The first common dream we’ll take a look at is the dream of falling. Many, many people experience this type of dream and I am sure we have all heard different interpretations of it. Although a dream of falling can have some significance it often means nothing at all but rather is a reaction your body has as your drifting off(or falling) to sleep. In some cases though a dream such as this can signify a personal sense of failure in some aspect of one’s life. Sleeping with the feet against the wall or with a pillow or other object touching the soles of the feet may give a sense [...]
The Mystery of Dreams
Despite the multitude of expert studies today, it has not been settled why we dream at all. It is basically understood that dreams are coordinated imageries and sensations of all the brain’s functions that consolidate during the process of sleep. It is also possible to propose that these imageries form as the entire body undergoes its recuperative, rebuilding, and rebalancing task for cells and certain faculties. But what is yet unexplained is how and why do dreams provide somewhat prophetic images that relate to future experiences, as they do past experiences, including situations that occur even as the individual is yet deep in sleep. Scientists will most likely refer to the human body’s ability to be aware even in its state of sleep. Many of us, they will assert, perceive the one asleep as an appliance turned off. In such as state, it contributes nothing to the environment for the moment. The mistake lies in the assumption that it is unresponsive to stimuli that threaten the dreamer’s survival. Dream is just one facility that alarms us of an external hazard. How this occurs may depend on the body’s ability to respond during a certain situation. Even in more ancient times, [...]
