Why Seek a Dream Interpretation Tarot Spread?

Some dreams just seem “high amplitude.” What does that mean? Well, occasionally dreams cause us to wake up with questions — and if we pursue those questions, we can sometimes find real answers.

These high amplitude dreams often feel relevant to our daily lives. They haunt us in the daytime until we listen, look, and wait for our souls to tell us their meaning! Unfortunately, though, it can be tricky to figure out what exactly our dreams are trying to tell us! When that’s the case, it may be necessary to seek outside assistance. Luckily, Tarot is actually one of the greatest assistive tools that we can use to decipher dreams.

An Example of a Significant Dream

Jennifer had been looking for a new place to live for months, and she was getting frustrated by the process. The tight housing market combined with rising prices seemed to leave her with fewer and fewer choices. She was feeling pressured and discouraged, and one night fell asleep in a state of anxiety and despair as she worried about finding a solution to her housing problem.

That night, she had an unusual dream.

In Jennifer’s dream, her long-deceased grandmother stood in an empty, vacant room, wearing a short-sleeved summer dress. To be specific, it appeared to be the sort of dress that one would wear during the hot season’s peak — the middle of summer. It was spacious and pleasantly cool in the building.

As Jennifer entered the room, they greeted each other “in spirit.” That is to say, they did so wordlessly. The “feeling” of the greeting (clairsentience) was loving and joyful. Her grandmother delivered the message that two homes in Jennifer’s vicinity were both available and suitable for her. Jennifer’s problem was about to be solved.

This may sound straightforward, but pay attention to the details of the dream. There’s more here than it seems at first glance!

The dream’s details indicated that this development would occur sometime in mid-summer, as shown by her grandmother’s dress. The home’s look and feel would be spacious and uncluttered, evidenced by the coolness and openness of the room in the dream.

Additional images provided by the dream were hardwood floors and the sight of an older, solidly constructed building. It had many windows and lots of light. A fresh breeze blew through the windows, allowing clear, healthy air to circulate. The building seemed quiet.

Within the next week, Jennifer uncovered two leads on different houses, both of which had the appearance and feel of those in her dream. The dream’s symbolism showed sustainability, health, and peaceful. Jennifer saw all those qualities in both of these places, so she signed for the one she liked the most.

Jennifer felt that her grandmother had offered her assistance through a dream message and led Jennifer to these vacancies. She then vowed to pay more attention to her dreams and work more consistently and consciously with Spirit to solve challenges in the future.

If you have a dream that features a loved one, or even just a dream that seems unusual or significant, there may be a message for you to unpack there. Don’t let it pass you by — examine and reflect upon it.

A Six-Card Dream Interpretation Tarot Spread

For a dream that you want to examine, Tarot can help. Use this spread for a recent dream that you’re interested in decoding!

Shuffle the cards well, then lay them out in a diamond shape with cards one, two, and three positioned from left to right at the top. Cards four and five should fall below them on either side of the diamond, and card six should be placed at the bottom in the middle, forming the diamond’s lowest point.

Meditate on the dream you want to interpret as you shuffle the cards and lay out the spread. Lay the cards face down in the diamond shape detailed above and begin reading at the top, from left to right.

Card One: The Dream

The Empress

This card sums up the dream overall. What happened? Who was in it, where were you, and how did it make you feel? Jennifer’s dream indicated that she would soon be established in her own house and that it would be a place of creativity and calm. The Empress card revealed that she would feel serene and secure in her surroundings.

Card Two: The Reason for the Dream

Nine of Wands

What was your consciousness lacking and hungering for when you had the dream?

Jennifer felt that she was fighting this battle alone. The Nine of Wands reflected her state of mind. It seemed like no one could provide her with the information she needed to find a better living environment. The dream told her that she was getting help from higher sources and that if she consciously connected with them, it could help her find a good solution quickly.

Card Three: The Dream’s Meaning

Ace of Pentacles

Jennifer’s dream told her that a solution was close at hand. She should not give up on her search. She would be receiving “supernatural” help with her dilemma. The Suit of Pentacles signifies the element of earth, as well as housing and real estate. Jennifer got the Ace of Pentacles. In the context of her dream, this suggests that her dream was telling her that something nice would drop into her lap if she didn’t give up her search. It also suggested that she would have the material resources necessary to pay for it.

Card Four: The Message From Your Subconscious and Your Higher Mind

The Hanged Man

All Tarot cards can be read at both literal and archetypal levels. What other parts of your mind were speaking to you in your dream? What messages were they offering?

Jennifer’s subconscious mind was telling her that she needed a healthier, quieter environment. At the same time, her superconscious informed her that she was receiving spiritual guidance about what this environment would be like and where she would find it. She was informed to listen openly to her intuition, then proceed. The Hanged Man card instructed her to surrender to the process.

Card Five: A Question About the Dream

The High Priestess

Ask the dream something you really need to know. Be as specific as possible.

In dreams, even minor details contain important messages. Jennifer asked: “Why was my grandmother, who died 20 years ago, in my dream? And what does this say about my housing crunch?” The High Priestess said told Jennifer that she could trust her intuitive guidance. She would get her answers there. It also suggested that her Higher Self was asking her to tap spiritual sources for assistance.

Card Six: Specific Guidance From the Dream

The Hermit

Are you being told to go somewhere, talk to someone specific, or take some other definite action? Are you being asked to work more with Spirit? Who is on your council of guides? Were any of them in the dream? The Hermit tells you to go within and make time for quiet reflection so you can hear what your Higher Self and any enlightened beings have to say. Jennifer found out that she was starting a cycle of increasing spiritual awareness. Her dream informed her that the more she used spiritual resources, such as prayer, meditation, and visualization, the better the results would be!

Do All Dreams Mean Something?

Some dreams may have little meaning. Just be sure that you aren’t jumping to conclusions. Jungian psychology tells us that even those little sights, smells, and images that seem like mere fragments of dreams can be loaded with meaning.

If you aren’t certain that a dream means something, Tarot can help give you insight into your intuitive powers and future experiences. You just have to give the cards the time and space to reveal their answers to you. When you do, the rewards and benefits will be yours to keep.
