Dream Interpretation: Tips For Understanding Your Dreams

By Laura V. Hyde

Because of their honesty, dreams are both powerful and healing. They are a priceless means for connecting with our soul. Through dream work, we are able to cultivate a deep and soulful relationship with our true self and unite authentically with others.

Dream Interpretation Tip #1
Focus on feelings first, then dream symbols.

Dream Interpretation Tip #2
Do not judge your dreams -- all dreams are significant and have much to tell you. Not meaning to frighten you, your dreams are lovingly channeled through your subconscious to help you learn, grow and heal.

Dream Interpretation Tip #3
Dreams occur in patterns and "themes." Look for the dream theme while recording your dream.

Dream Interpretation Tip #4
Notice the dream characters. Ask yourself, "What aspect of me does this person represent?" Keep in mind that most people in your dreams are different sides of you.

Dream Interpretation Tip #5
Dreams of someone who has passed away mean:
1) This person is trying to communicate to you through your dream state
2) This person represents an aspect of you that has "died."
3) This person represents something to you from your past (while they were still alive) that is in need of healing.

Dream Interpretation Tip #6
Dreams that have repeating dream symbols or themes are VERY IMPORTANT! Pay particular attention to your feelings during repetitive dream themes and symbols.

Dream Interpretation Tip #7
Dreams occur in sequence during the night and "build" upon each other. What was the dream sequence?

Dream Interpretation Tip #8
The first scene of a dream often sets the "stage" for the entire dream. What is the first scene like? Who is in it? Where are you? What are you doing?

Dream Interpretation Tip #9
The last scene of the dream shows "where" and "how" the energy of the dream (and your life) is turning, i.e., where things are "going." What happened in the last scene and how are you feeling?

Dream Interpretation Tip #10
Look for any literal interpretations of dream symbols. Pay particular attention to your physical body in a dream as it could be warning you of an illness. Cars typically represent our bodies.

Dream Interpretation Tip #11
Again, your dreams are meant to help you, not frighten you. Any fear that surfaces are something you may be afraid to look at in your waking life. Nightmares occur when we continue to avoid looking at our fears or unresolved issues.

Dream Interpretation Tip #12
Dreams will tell you the TRUTH about a particular situation in your life, even if you've built a defense structure against it. If there is conflict occurring between your conscious and subconscious mind, your subconscious will always win out.

Dream Interpretation Tip #13
Because of their honesty, dreams are both powerful and healing. They are a priceless means for connecting with our soul. Through dream work, we are able to cultivate a deep and soulful relationship with our true self and unite authentically with others. In the coming months, I will share a series of tips for interpreting your dreams. This month's dream interpretation tip: Focus on feelings first, then dream symbols.

Dream Interpretation Tip #14
Do not judge your dreams - all dreams are significant and have much to tell you. Not meaning to frighten you, your dreams are lovingly channeled through your subconscious to help you learn, grow and heal. Dreams are powerful vehicles in which to solve your daily issues for they provide ideas, solutions and insights.

Rich with symbols, archetypes and metaphoric meaning, dreams are an invaluable healing instrument, and when regularly processed and understood, can be a pathway to higher consciousness, healed relationships, fulfilling your life's purpose and greater abundance. Dreams are powerful vehicles in which to solve your daily issues for they provide ideas, solutions and insights.
