Easy Steps to Analyze a Dream
HOW TO INTERPRET A DREAM: Follow these fast easy steps and the meaning will pop out!
- EXAMPLE DREAM: Someone is driving a car while texting which leads to an accident. The car crashes.
- EMOTIONS. Feelings during dream and as you wake are the first clue. In this example, dreamer felt shock and distress.
- STORY LINE. Use general words like 'someone' and 'something' to state the gist, the core meaning, without specific details. In example dream, one might say: "Someone who does not pay attention has a bad result and meets a negative consequence."
- MATCH TO LIFE. How does story resonate to an issue or question in your life? When you recognize the match-up, the message often clicks. In example dream, ask: "Where in me or my life am I letting myself get so distracted or am not paying attention, that it could trip me up?"
- SYMBOLS. As a link to personal memories, symbols are unique to your own experience . In example dream, a car can be a metaphor of your path in life, a goal or project [what motivates/drives you], or your body [vehicle that carries you through life]. Connect the symbol to a past or present memory and/or an experience about a car /and or accident. See how it may relate to the story and its current meaning in your life.
- WHAT IT MEANS. As you do these steps, an instant 'Aha' often emerges. If no Aha, try a new Story Line. In example dream, another version might say: Someone prefers doing what they like instead of what they should but it brings consequeces they don't like. A dream can answer a question, give insights into a problem or relationship, invite you to work on an attitude, develop a talent, understand someone, and can even show you an ESP glimpse into the future.
