Been a while since I posted here...

I'm wondering, how good are you folks with interpreting your dreams? I see a lot of guides and what not on how to do it. Personally, I never had any issue with it, which is why it is so surprising to me to see people struggle.
Almost every dream I have has a clear meaning and I can identify all or most elements. Typically dreams represent my fears and hopes - often they are "advice" on what I should do - when something is very uncomfortable to me I tend to suppress it and try to find another solution that is easier. For example I knew I was unhappy with my girlfriend but I was dragging it, I didn't want to end it, but deep down I knew I should have. So one night not long before our break up I dreamed about us being praying mantises rather than humans. Praying mantises are known for often killing the male partner during copulation, exactly this happened in the dream.

Even if the dream has a lot of elements I can almost always match those to my decisions, fears and hopes. I find dreams very useful that way.

How is it for you?
