Thread: Your take on analysis?

There are no real textbook definitions for analyzing dreams. Only personal figurative and very relative perspectives. Try not to take anything in your dream litterally.

Though we know nothing about your life, we can say that you don't seem comfortable with a new siblings or child in the family.

While the textbook analysis seems rather accurate for this dream, don't always take it as it says. Look inside the dream and book and yourSelf. Think, question, answer.

I want another persons take on it.
Dream: I walked into a house that was very nicely furnished, and everything in it was white. It resembled my sisters house but was missing a wall. A little kid who had to be about 8-10 was rolling a blue ball in the living room. Next I open the fridge, everything was blurry except for a container of blue kool-aid which I decided not to drink. Then the boy (who I intuitively decided was my brother... which I do not have,) comes up to me and asks " Do you know why their is no food in the fridge for you and only stuff for me?" I reply " No why?"
He said to me "Because I get what ever I want" I just laughed and said "ok" What a brat huh? well I searched some things and white is symbolic of new things entering your life/ Life plain and simple/ Blue means spirituality. So ive summed it up to just represent that my sister (the person whos hous it resembled) is haveing a kid and I reacted in a dream to that. Now she just had her kid 2 weeks ago a week after the dream. Now because I always over anylise and cannot settle for simplicity I said that I am affraide that this new child is pure and my being their for its life is going to taint it, thats why it wont let me have anything. I mean He wont let me have anything lol. wut choo thinkin?

Researching symbols will do nothing, because there is no possible way a dream sign is the same for everyone. To be quite frank, dream interpretation guides are a load of crap. Our minds are all different, so our signs are different. Find your own personal definitions for white and blue, and work from there. As no-name said, take nothing literally.

If you would like additional help, it might be good to give us some more information about your personality.

I disagree. If only from a cultural perspective, I believe symbols can indicate the same things for different people.

I'm a noob compared to veterans here but in my experience with dreammoods.com, about 95% of the "symbols" I have entered have appear to be surprisingly accurate.

I do agree that one should determine the meaning of their personal symbols for themselves. I think it's ultimately up to the dreamer to interpret their dreams, with or without a helper.

there the whole fredian approach of thinking things in yoru dream represents something from your unconscious.

you can also look at is as dreaming its its own "world" with its own "logic". and could try to ask yoru dreams what they mean.

so like tonight try to have a dream about what that dream meant if taht makes since.

i havne't treid it to extensivily somebody just suggested it to me.
