New guy here. Hello. Hope I can stick around and contribute something. Question concerning my overall dreams and the concept of "Dream Themes". This isn't so much about lucidity as interpretation of dreams.

I've read (don't remember if it was from main site or not) about the concept of "personalized dream themes" and frankly...I'm not getting these. Understand the idea, but I just can't place them. Furthermore, should say that I've never been much of a right-brained thinker; I never have been good at interpretation in the first place. Things like poems, annotations of books, all that, evades me, and when I see how the person came up with that idea I just go "Whhhuuuhh?!"

Find it harder to peg down something that is personalized like that, because I can rarely determine how I feel about something in the dream. Now, yeah, haven't really logged many dreams yet; but I think of the 3 dreams that I would be able to start interpretation (and ultimately, start looking into lucidity after I've gotten a handle on that) and maybe form a pattern.

I will log the 3 into the dream journal forum eventually today, if you'd like to view 'em.

What I am worried about is that I'm not being thorough enough in my logs; that I'm "missing" something, so that I don't get the whole picture. After all, an idea or thing or the overall feel of the dream can be quite different depending on the feelings you get from it or how you feel about some of the things that appear in the dream.

So, I ask, what should I do?
