| Working with Dream Symbols |
Your dreams are doorways to your unconscious; and the ones that
have the most profound impact on you (your nightmares and recurring
dreams) are trying to tell you something. When you first start working
with your dreams, it might be easiest to start with such a dream.
Once you have a dream you want to interpret, what do you do with
these images and symbols? Rather than trying to interpret one
whole dream, I'd suggest starting with some of the symbols. The
symbols are pieces to the puzzle of your dream.
If you have more than one dream in your journal, look them over and
see if there are any similarities between them. Any common objects?
Similar scenes? Same people? Recurrent action happening? If so,
then these are the symbols you want to concentrate on. Here are a
few suggestions when working with Dream Symbols.
Word Association
Try to break down the symbols individually and see what they
personally mean to you -- play word association -- write the symbol and
then write the first thing that pops into your mind. Or have a trusted
friend read off your symbols one at a time (in no particular order) and
write down or say the first thing that comes to mind.
