      Do you think that dreams are entirely symbolic to the person or

      that each thing you see in a dream is a set thing and always means the same thing no matter the person?



      I personally believe each thing is symbolic to the person, and not that if you see a donkey in a dream, you are going to get rich, as I heard from a businessman I used to get emails from. He mass sent out business tips and the like. I never got a follow up on how he was doing at his new mansion so....



      I mean it's a cool thought, that your dreams might be able to do something like that, but I just don't think it's real.




      I mean every dream dictionary online all has different opinions on what they think a certain thing means, so who's right? Who do you turn to? I believe you're the best person to interpret your own dream, though I do think people may be able to help you see how you really feel about things in a dream sense as I interpreted one dream from a woman on paltalk in my dreams room years ago about a dream she had where she handed her baby off to some strangers and went to look for her car that had gotten stolen, I told her she probably didn't want to be held down by the baby, and it's responsibilities since she used to be an Army kid with her father and went all around the world, and that she wanted to escape, which was what she was trying to find the stolen car for, she was trying to find her stolen freedom. She hadn't been able to go anywhere since she'd had a kid she said.




      So, what do you guys think? I haven't really seen any evidence to suggest that all symbols in dreams mean the same thing, so any dream interpretation that's done, I think should have background info on the person who dreamed, not "OMG you saw a rabbit! You're gonna meet someone special! congrats!" and for the person the rabbit really means she has issues with her mother xD

      Every dream is and always will be entirely subjective and based upon the person who dreams it.

      I just made this post today and think its applicable:

This is why situations we are in can be reflected in our dreams, and solutions can be found to some plaguing issues that we never noticed before in our very tunnel-visioned lives.

      However, at the same time, dreams are the embodiment of randomness. Neurons firing in no particular direction with no particular destination for no particular purpose, reacting with the chemicals we release as we sleep, causing the onset of powerful emotions and feelings that are only enhanced by the tools the body is utilizing to take part in its normal sleep functions. The result are vivid, odd and sometimes scary hallucinations that are the compilation of everything we know and feel. And sometimes that's all they are. But it never hurts to look more deeply into a dream, and reflect on where you are and what is going on in your life.

      I recently had nightmares when I went to visit someone I hold very close me. The hotel I was staying at was comfortable, the time I spent up there amazing and I felt better than ever because of where I was and who I was with. But I had, or at least remembered, stronger nightmares than I've had in a long time. Were these random? No. I know why they happened. Partially due to being in an unfamiliar atmosphere and bed, but it also had to do with some of the feelings of anxiety and nervousness that surfaced during the visit and situation, despite it being an overall good time.

      These nightmares were the result of stress and negative, or at least misunderstood, emotions.

      There can be no clear, concise and all encompassing objective interpretation for your dream to determine is meaning. In reality, all interpretations are vague and subjective.
