Hi babylemonade, |

Hi again Darkmatters! |

*shrug* I just wanted to make a distinction from the original lyric (It's from "Sympathy for the Devil") |

Absolutely! If you're interested in dream interpretation, you might also want to look into the theories about it by Freud and CG Jung - and I"m sure there are more modern theories based off their pioneering work. Of course, Freud has been largely deposed because of his ideas about all dreams being wish fulfilments and all stemming from childhood sexual trauma etc - but I've read his amazing book On The Interpretation of Dreams and, as long as you understand these problems with his concepts, there's no better guide (that I'm aware of) to HOW to read a dream and understand what it means. |

Hi and welcome! |
|
Hi babylemonade, and welcome - I'm new around here too. |
|
How's it going, babylemonade? Welcome to Dream Views. I think Darkmatters covered it pretty well. I think nothing can really pin down what symbolism means to someone else, subjectively. For example, if you take someone who lives in upstate New York, and someone who lives in Alaska, they are probably going to have different reasons for dreaming about subway trains, ya know? |

Dream Journal: Dreamwalker Chronicles Latest Entry: 01/02/2016 - "Hallway to Haven" (Lucid)(Or see the very best of my journal entries @ dreamwalkerchronicles.blogspot)
Welcome! |

If you need help with Dream Interpretation my suggestion is look up a Dream Dictionary (there are several so find one you like or cross-reference when lost) and just work at extracting the symbols and examining them yourself. If you ever need help and DI isn't being helpful feel free to PM me (I don't usually wander from Off-Topic threads so probably wouldn't see your post) |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Oh for fuck's sakes, like we need any more of those around... |

You were right to capitalise girl. It should've been the first thing I said when I registered. |
|
I totally called the beginning, well except the GIRL part... |

I agree that dreams are highly symbolic, but deciphering that symbolism takes more than a one-size-fits-all online dictionary. Hopefully, a dream journal can help keep track of what different symbols mean to you, individually. |

Even then, things change and evolve. For instance I dreamed once I was in a tornado. I was like about 4 years old and I thought the tornado was some sort of animal and huge and destructive. 7 years Later I dreamed a tornado took me away from my home and dropped me to die. That was because my parents died and I was taken from my home. In that dream I managed to land in a large haystack and stay alive. |

Thanks for all your tips, guys! I'm glad I joined. |

Hi there lemons. |

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake
Just thought I should point out that if you don't want to make your dream journal entries public, just don't publish them. Save them as drafts instead of clicking "post now," that way you're free to write about all the filthy things you get up to in your dreams without having to worry about anyone finding out. |
