I want to be able to attempt to interpret my own dreams.
I've looked through the forum (and might be just me missing stuff) but is there a 'dream dictionary'?
or can someone point me in the right direction to one?
Just need some sort of guide to help me understand :)
thank you :)
just wanted to make sure i was looking at a decent one hehe :)
The best dictionary is your own dictionary. The meanings in dream dictionaries can very greatly from the truth. If you love rainy days, rain can mean relaxation, where as a generic dictionary will say it means "dark times" or "sadness." Dream dictionaries are based on common archetypes, so some symbols work for many people. But don't freak out if they seem a bit off!
I wouldn't take dream dictionaries seriously. I read one a while back to understand my dreams, it says Communists always mean confusion and Police are always good guys protecting you, even when that symbolism doesn't match with what went on in the dream.
Everything in a dream is connected with everything else. To interpret you have to think about context and personal symbolism.
ahhh ok :)
I did look at a few and they seemed conflicting in their interpretations, so maybe just try and figure them to my own experiences and thoughts :)
Thank you
I don't know a whole lot about interpreting dreams, but I do use a dictionary as a base/foundation to start with. The most useful thing I rely on though are my own feelings during the dream. :)
