Dream Interpretation
Dreamtime,
by definition, is the time of creation in the mythology of the Australian
aborigines. According to a reconstruction of their story, dreams
were more than just pictures during sleep.
Before time
began was the dreamtime, when the forces of creation were active
through our great spirit ancestors. The spirit ancestors were not
yet segregated into human or animal; they were pure consciousness.
All the languages of the natural world -- the languages of trees,
of rocks, of celestial bodies, of wind, fire, shadow and seed --
were listened to and understood by our spirit ancestors, who used
their knowledge to shape the physical universe. They also shaped
our social universe by forging the laws which govern human behavior,
in accordance with their experience and modes of being.
Dreams themselves,
by definition, are a series of thoughts, images or emotions occurring
during sleep. They are a state of mind marked by abstraction or
release from reality.
Anything
can happen in a dream. There are no constraints with time, space,
or content. Physical laws do not apply in the dream world.
From a psychological
perspective, dreams are important because it is a time when your
subconscious attempts to reveal aspects of your waking life. Sometimes
we go through events that we may not completely understand and our
subconscious takes over to help get beyond the confusion. This may
be necessary to put issues in the past, grow as a person, and learn
lessons for the future.
It is not
to say that if you had a fight with your boss at work that you would
directly dream about your boss and the fight. This is a possibility,
however. More than likely though, a dream will occur where there
may be other types of images, conversations or settings that on
the surface have nothing to do with your boss or that fight. If
you look deeper into the dream you may actually find the underlying
reason for the fight in the first place. You just need to know how
to interpret that dream!
As the Aborigines
believed, dreams are not only images but can also be a great divination
tool. Dreams occur in different fashions; there are several different
types of dreams, ways of harnessing the energies from these dreams,
and ultimately a way to control what is happening in them.
Interpreting
and understanding the dream is the first step to control it. Defining
what category the dream falls in (what type of dream it is) is necessary
for interpretation. For example, anxiety dreams are just that. When
one is worried about something to a great extent, a dream is sure
to occur. That dream is directly representative of that anxiety.
However, it could have a completely different meaning under a different
category.
Here are
several types of dreams:
Recurring
Dreams
Anxiety Dreams
Astral Projection
Chase Dreams
Divination Dreams (Past, Present, Future)
Dream Incubation
Nightmares
Sexual Dreams
Wish Fulfillment Dreams
Grasping
dreams would also be easier if a dream journal is kept. Dream journals
are great for remembering more about a dream you just had. Most
times we dream and forget about it before or as soon as we wake
up. This is normal. So dream journals help increase our cognition
of the dream world. Your
memory of the dreams increase... you categorize what type of dream
it is... you interpret the images to learn the actual meaning of
the dream... and before you know it - you can control it!
