While sleeping we usually envision a non-stop sequence of images that might touch us psychologically and this motion picture that we view while we are sleeping deeply is referred to as DREAMS. We might see a number of dreams that may or may not be connected to our lives in anyways, but dreams do have some importance in our lives. You may cry, laugh, dance, make fun, enjoy, be upset or even quarrel in your dreams. You may see dreams that include animals, insects, birds, nature, water in form of oceans or seas, nudity, sexuality, spiritual etc. and enormous other things that you might have ever heard of. Dreams do have certain amount of importance in our lives, these are the communications of the dark. It is an illusion of night because while we are fast asleep our internal soul connects to the spiritual or holy kingdom. Anyways, our dreams generate a feeling or some sort of message that may be referring to the dreamer and due to this factor one particular dream might comprise a few interpretations in general. But then your dreams can assist you to a huge amount if they are interpreted accurately. Some dreams may be general like what you have been doing or wondering all through the day might be seen while you are sleeping or some may simply reflect your temperament, so these types of dreams are just casual dreams which do not have any significance or influence in your lives. These dreams often disturb your sleep as they are disconnected and messy. Some dreams come from your internal essence, these are carnal dreams. This reflects fear, anger, anxiety or sadness which may be because of your previous offences. There are other knids of dreams that are called prophetic or spiritual dreams and these have huge importance in your lives as they send us some sort of signals for your future. Spiritual dreams carry some message sent by God to guess your future and has a great impact in your life. We should know how to interpret our dreams exactly so as to know what our future holds for us. The following points may aid you to interpret your dreams perfectly: - You need to remember your dream and record it as soon as you wake up from your sleep. For this you should keep a paper and a pen ready with you. - Note down what you dreamt and your action after the dream, positive or negative. Underline the points that influenced you most. - Analyze whether it was a normal dream, carnal dream or spiritual dream, as only spiritual dreams really help you to understand your future. - Buy a trustworthy Dreamer's dictionary and it is conveniently available on any of the bookstores, or you can even purchase it online. - You can even design your own Dream Dictionary by some signs that itself depicts the feature, like horse depicts liberty, speed and power etc. - Decide the main theme you dreamt about, suppose you dreamt about "Sailing in a rough sea" where your ship is about to submerge…this is the key theme of your dream. - A thorough explanation of your dream is, assume you are sailing in a rough sea and your vessel is about to submerge and you are prepared to die. You suddenly see the other side of the shore which is a beautiful garden with colorful flowers allover. Now this might be interpreted as you are facing a tough phase of life presently with a lot of difficulties and monetary crisis. You have almost lost all your hopes. But then there is a message from God, the beautiful garden that you see in your dreams is asking you not to loose hopes as your goodluck is just about to come. Seeing a beautiful garden full of flowers is an indication of success for your hardwork and sincerity. - While interpreting your dreams you should take care of both the sides of the coin, the positives and the negatives, as both are important for an accurate Dream Analysis. - If you feel contented and comfortable after you have dreamt, it means a good luck is about to glitter on you. A distress after a dream depicts misfortune that is about to come. - Finally you should interpret your dreams keenly and with great concentration as a little error may lead you to wrong interpretation.

Meaning of Dreams

dream meaning

If you have asked a question when you have had a particularly vivid dream about whether that dream might be trying to tell you something, you are not alone.  Most of us have the kind of dreams every so often that seem full of meaning.  The feeling of waking up feeling a sense of urgency because our dreams were trying to communicate something important to us is a common experience in all people.  We don't often talk about how powerful our dreams affect us like this because we don’t want our friends to think we are crazy.  But we store away these questions in our minds and in our hearts and the wondering about what we dream can become a haunting area of missing knowledge that you would feel so much better if you understood it all.

It helps to think through where dreams come from in the first place.  Psychologists tell us that we have another entire side to our minds, which is our subconscious side.  We know that is true because that side of our minds is so active all the time.  In fact, experts in sleep and dream research tell us that when our conscious mind takes a break, the subconscious mind is very active processing all of the information and events of the day and what is going on in our lives.

They tell us also that the subconscious is as much a part of how we make decisions and "think and feel" about things as the conscious mind we think with.  Both sides of our personalities are always communicating in ways that we cannot always understand or even recognize.  Sometimes that feeling of having a "gut feel" about a decision is coming from your subconscious mind.  But psychologists also tell us that dreams is another way that the subconscious is presenting information to the conscious side of our brains and that there can be a lot of information and meaning in those dreams.

It might be pushing it to say your subconscious is "trying to tell you something" in your dreams.  Instead, there is good reason to believe that your subconscious is always communicating to you and dreams are one of the ways it expresses itself.  That means there may be lots to learn from dreams that can tell you about yourself and about your "true feelings" in regards to relationships, job, you worries and stresses and what is going on in the world.  And if there is information in your subconscious that can help you cope with those big challenges in life, why not understand it and put it to work by learning what dreams are saying and what we can learn from them?

Dream Analysis

If you ever have met someone who maintains that their dreams predict the future, like most of us, you probably try to edge away from that person as politely as possible.  This is not to say that there is no such thing as psychic abilities.  But if you did have the ability to know the future because of your dreams, you would probably handle it differently than to just talk about it in a social setting.  That kind of person probably thinks they are psychic and can predict the future and they want you to think they can too. 

So when it comes to your own dreams, part of analyzing what you "learn" from your dreams is deciding how much you think your dreams are there to give you direction in life including warnings that your subconscious might see but you may not have realized yet consciously.  If you can get that good at Dream Interpretation that you can tell when you are getting "incoming" information through your dreams that has real value, that would be a huge breakthrough to be sure.

dream analysis

You would have to be careful if you decided that your dreams are given to you by your subconscious or by another power to guide your decisions each day.  If you took that to the extreme, you might confer truth to every dream you have.  Then if you dream something wild and imaginative because you spent too much time on the science fiction channel the night before, you would start drawing conclusions that were incorrect based on that input.

meaning of dreams

However, the subconscious does use the dream system to processes events, relationships and situations that you have experienced during the day and it can draw conclusions that you might have missed.  The subconscious is almost entirely intuitive.  That means that when you get that "gut feel" that something is wrong, that is your subconscious.  It draws conclusions based on intuition rather than logic.  That is why so many of your dreams are emotional and disjointed.  There is a logic there.  Just not one that makes sense to our logically oriented consciousness minds.

By judging the dreams you have, you can determine if the subject matter is meaningful or not.  If you know the content is about that movie you watched, you can disregard any "warnings" that is coming through the emotional communications systems of the subconscious.  But from time to time, the subconscious will notice that "something is not quite right".  That is intuitive talk for "danger, danger, danger.'  When you get dream warnings about a relationship, a job circumstance or some other important area of life that hits you in that "gut feel" place, it might be a good idea to pay attention.  Your subconscious may be on to something.

Dream Research

The subject of our dreams and what they might mean is a fascinating area of our lives.  It isn’t too difficult to get a pretty lively discussion going at a party about what we dream and why we dream like that.  So if you have taken up an interest in how our subconscious minds work when we are sleeping, it can be a field of study that can keep you busy learning more and more every year.  In fact, research into the content of dreams represents a significant subset of the study of psychology, which is one of the many very important fields of medicine that is used to help us understand ourselves.

The first large area of knowledge you will come upon when you begin learning more about the kind of research that has been done into how we dream and what we dream will be in the history of this particular area of psychology.  Only a century ago, dreams were not a serious medical field of research.  In ancient times, people associated dreams with demon possessions, particularly if the dream took a negative turn and expressed itself as a "nightmare".  Small wonder people didn’t talk about their dreams in those times.

Two of the most important names in the field of psychology are also the men who brought research into dreams under the umbrella of psychology and thus made it a legitimate part of medical research.  Those two men were Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.  Many of the major tenants of the theory of what dreams mean come from the writings of these two men.  It is impossible for us to even summarize the depth of knowledge that Freud and Jung contributed to this area of human understanding.  But if you are on a quest to know more about research into how the subconscious interacts with dreams, plan to spend some significant amount of time reading the works of both of these pillars of the medical community.

dream research

Along with the psychological exploration of what dreams mean, much of the research into sleep studies also incorporate research into how dreams affect sleep and where dreaming occurs in our sleep cycles.  It was from this area of dream research that we learned that we do most of our dreaming in the last two hours of sleep and that we really only remember dreams that happen when we are making that transition between a sleep state and a wakeful state.

By understanding the scholarly research into dreams done by psychologists and sleep researchers, it can help you understand how your dreams work too.  And the more we understand different areas about how we "tick" the better we are able to cope with even what goes on when we are asleep

Dream Symbolism

"What was it like to learn to parachute out of a plane?"

A statement like this one is very common in our normal conversation.  I brought it to our attention not because we are going to talk about parachuting out o f planes.  But we often ask each other "what was it like?"  The way the question is phrased is important.  We are saying, "Compare your experience so something I know.  Don't tell me exactly about the experience.  Instead create a parable of what it was like."  We all think in these terms even if we don’t know we do.  We all think in symbolism.

When a public speaker wants to really connect to his or her audience, symbolism is used quickly.  He might compare someone who is confused as "a deer in the headlights".  Right away, that image is easy to understand and we understand what is being said about the subject of the story.  For someone who is awkward in a new job or social situation, we say he was "a fish out of water".  The image of that fish on the bank flopping around and desperately wanting to be back in familiar circumstances is a perfect analogy that we understand perfectly. 


It isn’t too much of a stretch to say that we understand symbolic language even better than we do plain talk.  That is because an image takes an idea and makes it visible.  It takes an idea and brings it down what they call "the scale of abstraction" to something very real and something we can grasp.  We learned our lessons this way as youth so we never stop communicating in symbols and images.

dream symbols

If our conscious mind is heavily symbol oriented, you could go to the next level to say that symbolism is the ONLY language of your subconscious mind.  In order to try to process complex feelings, ideas and concepts, the subconscious constantly generates symbolism and images to represent the deeper things that it is "thinking about".  The time when the subconscious "thinks" is when you are asleep and the outcome of all that thinking is a long string of images, scenes and "stories" which make up the bulk of those thing we call dreams.

Just as you can easily communicate with someone if you understand his or her imagery, which fills up our language, the better you understand the imagery of the subconscious, the more your dreams will make sense.  If you know that your subconscious is going to represent anxiety about your new job with a dream of you lost in a big building with lots of rooms, dreams suddenly become easier to interpret.  The symbolism of the mind is personal as well as cultural.  It is based on common experiences that you and your subconscious have that it can use to talk to you.
