Formula for Dream Interpretation

Here is a formula that can help guide you in interpreting your dream.

1. Established an overview 
2. Interpret the overview.
3. After interpretation of the overview, then gain the insight and meaning of the dream

In dream interpretation, first seek an overview of the entire dream.

How do you obtain an overview? 

You recall the dream in detail. Do not suppose answers during the overview process.  Ask questions about the details and seek what may be important or contradictions or unusual or normal events.  In other words, what stands out in your mind? Because a dream is your own, you will have the advantage in its interpretation. 

Question:  Is the insight coming from the mind or the higher self?
Answer:     It can be either, but generally it is the subconscious trying to inform the conscious.  Those dreams which seem to standout vividly and have a tremendous impact are generally from the higher self.

There are two aspects in the dreams process:

One is the reception of significant dreams. 

The other is the interpretation of such.

Interpretation is what the dream images represent. Interpretations is taking the images and translating them into a message. Sometimes the process can feel like the game of charades - taking images and clues and then piecing them together.

Insight is the lesson or the teaching to be learned.

For example, a children’s story is told to instruct. It generally has a story line that the child can follow and relate to in their life experience.  That relating to experience can be called the interpretation but a special reason is withheld in the story for its telling.  In other words, the adult told to story to instruct the child in a specific point which is called the moral. Usually such morals were that you should behave well, don’t each others porridge, etc.  You get the idea.  The moral is the insight.  The insight is the basic idea being taught.

Review of the Interpretation Process

You must maintain an open mind when interpreting dreams.  Once you have thought about an interpretation and have decided that it is not complete, you must be willing to disregard that interpretation.  As you explore interpretations to dreams, permit your mind to wander and explore other completely unrelated possibilities.

Was the dream different?
Was it strongly significant?
Was is strangely or subtly different from other dreams?

Identify the focus; a normal dream or a future sensing dream gives one a beginning point from which to interpret the dream.Do not think of future sensing dreams as real dreams. 

A real dream is a dream that has a significant meaning or message.  You may think of them as internal dreams.  They may show you the future, but it is based upon your desires, therefore your subconscious is communicating with your conscious through these dreams and relaying an important message.  Regular dreams of which there is no significance are generated by your conscious mind reviewing and unloading information generated in the recent past or experiences remembered from the distant past.

	Symbols and images are used in dreams to help convey stories, or emotions, or reinforce the memory of the dream.

Dreams are important because they can be a type of Extra Sensory Perception or ESP.  That is because dreams don't necessarily originate in your mind. If your mind created the dream then it should be able to solve them.

How to Know if the Dream Interpretation is Correct?

The interpreting of a significant dream does not always happen immediately. Sometimes it takes days or even weeks to ponder, or longer. Sometimes you will just know and gain the insight in a flash and a moment of pause. Sometimes the interpretation does not happen until you experience the event.

If there is any doubt of the interpretation by the person who experienced the dream, then more than likely the dream has not been correctly interpreted.
