Dream Prophesy

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how fascinating dreams are. After all, you’re reading an article on a dream blog, you obviously “get it.”

I will say that this is one of the most incredible, yet often overlooked studies in the world. Amazingly, many people have the wrong impression about dream prophesy. As dreamologists, we aren’t into voodoo or “creepy”, unspeakable mystical practices. We study dreams. We learn from dreams. We’re amused, entertained and enlightened by dreams. We don’t put mojos on anyone or take mojos from anyone.

There are a few things I want everyone to keep in mind when it comes to studying dreams. This is not an exact science. If you look out your window tomorrow afternoon, you may see a cardinal. The cardinal is a vertebrate. There are over 8,000 species of birds. His bones and skull are very light, allowing him to be able to fly. He is the state bird of several states, including Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio. These are facts, as bird study is an exact science. There will not be a variable of any sort that will take your cardinal and make him an invertebrate. He won’t wake up tomorrow and be the state bird of Louisiana. (The brown pelican wouldn’t appreciate that.)

Do you see what, in a round about way, I’m trying to say? Just approach dream study with open eyes, and an open mind.

There are just too many variables to keep it from being a 100 percent science. For one thing, if you aren’t a dreamologist and don’t spend several hours a day researching dreams and dream symbols, you’re very likely to misinterpret your dreams.

Also, when it comes to dreams, symbolisms are used by the unconcious mind. The language of dreams is largely found in the symbolisms. What makes things extremely tricky is the fact that often different people have different symbolisms for different things. For me, a cup of coffee might symbolize paradise and relaxation, but for someone who has been scalded recently, it might symbolize danger. Diffent cultures also have different ideas and feelings about different objects and people. A farmer in Iowa who dreams about a cow will not have the same interpretation as a woman in India!

This is the main reason that ancient dream guides are so out of touch. Symbolisms used in 1950, 1960, or even 1970 aren’t the same as the ones used today. The world changes, and for accurate interpretations, our dreams need to be dealt with in the “here and now.” The best way to do this is, of course, with a Dream Blog. You just can’t get more up to the minute than a blog!

Want a key to unlock your inner wisdom? Try keeping a dream journal.
Experts believe that our nighttime dreams deal with concerns, worries, or events that we experience during our waking hours. A study done in 2003 speculated that about 50-percent of people have work-related nightmares.

In brief, dreams are like moves that streams through our minds, directed and produced by our subconscious. Dreams can help solve knotty problems, or simply give voice to ongoing issues. Some dreamers even implant a before-bed suggestion to dream a solution to a specific problem, like “tonight’s dream will help me overcome my problem with Jack.”

The connection between dreams and our subconscious has been speculated on for centuries. In fact, Aristotle theorized that there is a definite connection between dreams, emotional needs and waking experiences. However, in order to take full advantage of our nighttime movies, we need to keep dream journals that record as much detail as can be remembered.

To fully understand our dreams, experts like Carl Jung and Ira Progoff, believe a series of dreams must be examined, not just a single night’s images. To assist in the interpretative process, the following steps are suggested:

1. Date and time your dream. You may find that the dreams you have just before waking have different themes than those right after going to sleep. When you date your dream, don’t forget to include the year.

2. Title your dreams, like The Monkey Attacked the Cow, Airplanes Explode over the North Pole, or Jack Won’t Stop Pulling My Hair. Over a period of time, you’ll probably find recurring themes, like dreams with spiders, or plane crashes, or being chased.

3. Briefly note the day’s events. If you write down any irritations, worries, angers, or heightened emotions you had during the day, you may be able to see a clear correlation between the day’s events and your dreams.

4. Record your dream in as much detail as possible, including the emotions you experienced during the dream, AND the emotions you experienced in recording the dream. Feel free to illustrate your dream, either through a drawing or photograph.

5. List the important keywords from your dream. These might be words like love, hero, flying, snakes, puppies, peace or death.

6. Interpret the dream. Without using devices like a dream dictionary, try to interpret what you feel the dream was about. Was it about being trapped, breaking free, venting strong emotions, taking a journey, or?? There is no right or wrong answer–so allow yourself the freedom of speculating on a meaning.

7. Look for recurring themes. Once a month, look back through your dream journal, searching for repeating patterns. If you find one, your inner self is trying its best to give you an important message. Don’t forget to look for patterns in your list of important keywords.

Sweet dreams!
