How to Interpret Your Dreams

1. Record Immediately

Write down your dream as soon as you wake up. Details fade quickly, so capture emotions, settings, and key symbols right away.

2. Note Your Emotions

How did you feel during the dream? Your emotional response is often more important than the literal events of the dream.

3. Personal Associations

Consider what each symbol means to you personally. Universal meanings are guides, but your own associations are most relevant.

4. Life Context

Connect dream themes to current life situations. Dreams often process recent experiences, concerns, and desires.

Two Perspectives

Psychological: Focuses on the unconscious mind, repressed emotions, and the shadow self. Dreams reveal what we hide from ourselves.

Spiritual: Views dreams as messages from a higher realm, guidance from spirit, or glimpses of other dimensions of consciousness.
