Dreams are often times a mystery.  They can often times be mysterious and frightening.  Hollywood movies really make us afraid of our dreams in recent years with movies like Nightmare on Elm Street and very recently, the movie Inception.

These movies portrait sleeping and dreaming as something to fear.  This is a reason that we really have to look at our filters or perception of our reality. Reality is perception. Everyone views there reality from what they feel it is. If we decide to filter our reality from a perspective of our fears we will only draw to ourselves the information that confirms that reality. There are just as many movies that will confirm positive aspects of our existence, What Dreams May Come, is a movie that comes to mind. However, we will many times blow it off. Sometimes the best way to hide information is in plain sight. Hollywood is no exception.

I am going to give you a primer on how to interpret you own dreams. I will say that all dreams are not the same. Without me going too deep into the esoteric, understand that when we dream we go into different levels of our consciousness. Some people are “gifted” in that they can remember and recall some of the deepest level of these dreams. An analogy I like to use to differentiate these abilities is an Olympic athlete and the average Joe or Jane. For example, if we have normal use of our body we can all run but we cannot run as fast or as far as an Olympian. An Olympian is specially trained and gifted in what they do. As far as dreaming goes, we all dream. Some people will say they don’t dream but if they did not they would not exist. Again esoterica. However, we cannot all remember our dreams. And for those that do it is at differing levels of consciousness. What I will do is give the basics of interpreting dreams.

Dream basics:

It is information from you the soul to you in the physical.Everything and everyone in the dream is an aspect of you. Esoterically speaking there is No Thing that exists outside of you (consciousness).

Dreaming is a symbolic language from your soul.

Like any language it has a grammar. Look at the context of the dream. In other words, what is happening in the dream?Your dream symbols are unique to your experience. There are universal symbols however; a dream dictionary is not always a good idea. For example, a dog for one person may bring up wonderful memories. However, for another that is afraid of dogs and dreams about them may bring a feeling of dread and fear. A dream dictionary will have a generic meaning not dependent on the experience of the person.

Interpretation 101

To interpret a dream you have to think from the perspective of your soul. It is not in the physical world therefore the symbols it will give you are representative of  what something is “like” in your physical world to the abilities of the soul outside the physical world or its perception of an aspect of your physical world.

For example, your physical body from the perspective of your soul is how it(your soul) moves around in the physical world. In a dream this function can be represented by a car. When you are dreaming you are driving a car it is you the soul inside your physical body. Your body is “like” a car from the perspective of your soul.

If in the dream you are riding in the car and someone else is driving, the context of this scenario means you are not feeling in control of the situation. The person driving is another aspect of your personality.

To understand the symbols simply interpret the function of the object or what it is “like” in your physical life from the perspective of the soul and look at that context of what is happening in the dream.

Dream Grammar

1. All languages have a grammar. So do dreams. Dreams are symbolic. Before man had language we communicated with drawings. Even the drawings had syntax so others could understand the information. Dreams are no different. In dreams you often want to know what syntax or how the symbol is used because it gives more meaning to the dream. Using the example of the car above. If it is an old car you are driving around in within your dream that may mean it is how your body felt in the past.  Or how you viewed something in the past. The context is what you will have to figure out.

Old car equals a past body. Maybe you were overweight in the past and did not feel you had control over your life, or an aspect of your life, hence someone else driving and you riding in the old car. If it is a present model car it is something happening in the present for you. If it is a new car it may be a new feeling or new way of being.

One of the scariest things most people have happen in a dream is for someone to die. This is because most of us see death as the end of us or our loved ones. But remember you have to see a dream from the perspective of your soul. The soul knows that death is simply a transition from one form to another.

Logically and scientifically speaking everything in the universe is energy. The law of conservation says that energy cannot be lost or destroyed, it can only change form. The soul understands that it exists forever. Your physical body is simply a form of energy. When it or someone dies in a dream it means you or an aspect of you have changed into something else. Death is not the end, it is a transition in dreams.

More on Syntax and Grammar

“like” = from the perspective of your soul

Anything “like” Death = transition or change

Anything “like” new or young, such as a baby = new and fresh; like a new car, a new house, a new coat.  You must remember the function of the symbol. For example a new born may be a new idea, or a new you. It is being birthed! “like” new.

A computer is “like” = Your physical mind, which connects you to a collective consciousness (“like” the internet)

House or building = The totality of your conscious mind, an old house or building would be grammatically past tense. old = “like” in the past.

A room in a house = (“like”) an aspect or part of your physical conscious mind, an old room would be grammatically past tense.

Outside =(“like”) being in collective mass consciousness

In space amongst the stars = (“like”) Universal or God consciousness

Light = something that is known, (“like”) it is illuminated or you can see it, a room that has a light on would be something your are consciously aware of.

Dark = something that is (“like”) hidden or unknown you can’t see it, a dark room would be something you are consciously unaware of.

Conclusion

I hope this can help you with a starting point on interpreting your dreams. They are a wealth of knowledge for you. Your dreams should not be feared. Even a nightmare is a dream that is ramped up to get your attention. It is the way your soul makes you pay attention to a message that you desperately need to know in the physical.

Once you start to analyze your dreams will not have need to fear them anymore. You will realize after a while that many of your dreams are the same message. It is a lesson that you need to learn and understand about yourself. You don’t need a dream dictionary. You will KNOW when you have interpreted the symbol for yourself. You will feel it intuitively. Trust what you feel. Know that you are a soul having a human experience.
