I\u2019m a dreamer, in the most literal sense. Even my catnaps\nare filled with intense, often mystifying dream symbolism. For the most part, I\nthink that 1:1 dream decoding doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense. We all have different\nexperiences with, and therefore different reactions to, everything we\nencounter. From the seemingly innocuous to the absolutely bizarre, one person\u2019s\nperception of and relationship to, say, circus clowns will vary wildly from\nsomeone else\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This principle applies to everything, of course. Fears\naround heights, driving, or work will often appear directly in dreams, carrying\nover from the thoughts and worries of the day. A whale in one person\u2019s dream\nmay be a message from an ancestor, and in another, a terrifying reminder of\nthat scene from Pinocchio that scared them as a child. My point is that looking\nfor a universal meaning behind anything is a little bit futile. Because of\nthis, when I do any sort of dream interpretation I focus on the feelings, the\natmosphere, and the action. I think these things can tell us a lot more about\nwhat\u2019s happening. In this week\u2019s Daily Focus, I want to look at some of the\nmore common dream themes, and what they might be telling you to look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDreams about being back in your childhood home,\nschool, or another familiar place often indicate that you have unfinished business,\nso to speak, from your childhood. Dreams about a certain place could indicate a\ntime period your subconscious is still returning to.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find yourself returning to a place you haven\u2019t been\nin a long time, it\u2019s a good idea to look at what was going on in your life\nduring that time. This is easier for some places than others. For instance,\ndreaming of your old college could be connected to a lover, to academic stress,\nor to a point where your life branched out in different directions. Dreaming\nabout your childhood home is more complex, and more personal. It probably deals\nwith unfinished business from childhood and your family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFlying, falling, and extreme jumping are all examples of defying the laws of physics. They indicate a subconscious desire to leave behind the limitations of the body, as the mind remembers the freedom of these movements.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When decoding dreams about flying or falling, it\u2019s really\nimportant to look at the feelings. Are you falling and scared? Are you flying\nand free? Are you leaping with some kind of special ability? While fear might\nindicate concerns about a loss of control, like slipping over an edge, the\nfreedom from flying probably indicates a feeling of freedom and release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeing chased is a common stress dream motif. If\nyou\u2019re feeling pressured by deadlines or tasks you\u2019re avoiding in real life,\nthose small fears can become compounded during dreaming, and be reflected as\nmuch more serious circumstances.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Things become amplified in our dreams. We\u2019re the main\ncharacter of an action movie with the strangest plot of the year. Stress about\na project deadline might manifest as being chased by Big Bad Guys. If you\u2019re\nconstantly having dreams where people are after you, where you\u2019re forced to\nhide, run, or fight\u2014take a look at what\u2019s causing you stress in your day-to-day\nlife. Where do you feel forced to hide, run, or fight while you\u2019re awake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnimals that show up over and over in dreams are\nimportant.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While the connection we have to animals is personal and\ntherefore will vary from person to person, there are some things to look for.\nAnimals that you hadn\u2019t much considered before that begin to show up in your\ndreams might be messages from Spirit. Seeing your favorite animal is probably a\ngood luck charm, especially if it\u2019s an animal you would not normally get to\nsee, like an elephant in New York or a polar bear in Florida. Look for animals\nthat show up often, like butterflies, cats, and birds. They may be trying to\nlead you somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDestruction dreams indicate a desire to start over or to clear the slate. They may also indicate a fear of such a thing or the place where those emotions meet.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think about destruction dreams as a comorbidity of the Nine\nof Swords. There is a sense of waiting for the worst, and it\u2019s usually\ntranslated directly from the waking world to the sleeping. If you\u2019re unhappy,\nscared, anxious, or feeling trapped, it\u2019s likely that your dreams will feature\ndisaster or calamity. That\u2019s how your brain and nervous system feel, after all.\nInstead of dismissing your nightmares, try to follow the feelings and the\nanxieties back to their root to address them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDreams about the body where either your teeth or hair is falling out can indicate a feeling of loss of control, over physical, emotional, financial, or other capabilities. Adjusting to a new set of circumstances can leave us feeling like we\u2019re losing ourselves, literally.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dreams about any sort of body decay are the brain\u2019s way of\nreconciling feelings of helplessness, both emotional and physical. It is not a\nportend of poor health, per se, but often our subconscious knows when something\nis wrong before our conscious brain catches up. It is just as likely that\ndreams about sickness are reflecting feelings of stress about money, the\nfuture, or loved ones as they are reflecting any sort of physical internal\nissues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDreams about either delivering or receiving a message\nare often about interpersonal connection. Communication is how we connect, and\nthe need for it, or the lack of it, in our dreams often indicates the root of\nthose social connections.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I often have dreams where I am looking for someone I care\nabout because I have very important information for them. Usually, the person\nin question is a significant other or family member, and almost always, I can\nconnect these sorts of dreams back to feeling stunted in that relationship.\nThese dreams are a good reminder to communicate and also to listen. <\/p>\n\n\n Want to build a better future?
