Sigmund Freud once said, "The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind." While there are many theories of dreams, Freud's observation that dreams seem to reflect the subconscious mind prevails.
Dreamers from South Korea and India to the U.S. and Canada believe that their dreams have some valuable lessons to impart upon them, and that they should listen should a bad omen come to them in a dream. Many people are interested in acquiring the ability to interpret dream meanings so they can be more introspective and find greater fulfillment in life.
In your dream journal, you can start to interpret dream meanings by writing down your dreams as soon as you remember them. Try to recall all the details you can, even if it doesn't make sense. Write down people, places, colors and emotions.
Ask yourself, "How did this dream make me feel?" Respond to the question, "What real-life situation does this dream remind me of?" There are multiple layers to every dream, so it may take a few times of dreaming, recording and analyzing to start to see the pieces come together.
You may want to use a dreams dictionary to help you learn the basics about symbolism, although each meaning is somewhat unique to the individual.
Time for nocturnal dreams is important because it shows the emotional state of your mind, removed from the logical brain center. Being able to remember your dreams and interpret dream meanings can be an excellent therapy and a way of deriving additional meaning from life.
Throughout history, many of the world's greatest thinkers admit that they had been changed in some way by a dream they'd had. A number of therapists are using journal therapy to help discover new insights about their patients.
Even if you don't have an interpreter of your own, you'll find out a lot about yourself by chronicling your own nighttime journeys.
