Dream Prophesy

Dream Analysis 101

Writing by Joi on Sunday, 23 of March , 2008 at 12:49 am

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!
