Journaling

Now that you have decided to start remembering and interpreting
your dreams, you need to start keeping a dream journal. If you
begin to see a pattern in the dreams (always in the same place, or
the same imagery or symbols keep popping up, or you have the
same dream every Tuesday) then your unconscious is really trying
to get a message across. These are the points that you must try to
interpret. What do they mean to you?

That is the real key to interpreting dreams -- what does it mean to
you? I provide you a few possible meanings of some symbols in my
Symbol Dictionary (to be used as a springboard for your thoughts
only), but that green teddy bear may mean something totally
different to you than it would to your neighbor's cousin or me.

This is the main reason why you should not ask someone else to
interpret your dreams for you. No one (not even your sister, best
friend or spouse of 20 years) knows you intimately enough to know
what your symbols mean to you, and typically, others will project
their own meanings on your symbols. It's too easy for someone to
misinterpret your dream, thereby sending you off on a course of
action that is totally wrong for you and possibly doing more harm
than good.
