 Dreams are the language of communication between the conscious and the subconscious mind. Working with your dreams is a way of integrating both. And, by doing so we become more (spiritually) aware of how we and our lives are evolving.
We spend about 30% our our lifetime dreaming. If we tap into this huge resource, we can self-guide ourselves in dealing with our lives. The result, is a more "aware", truthful, and harmonious living.
Dreams, if you like, are the domain where it is possible to "experiment" with probable outcomes, or realities, in a safe manner.
I believe that since they are also a product of our own personal mind, which is constructed or shaped through our perception, belief system and experiences; we each have and will develop our own personal dictionary of interpreting our dreams.
Universal Symbols
There are, therefore, "universal" symbols as well as "individual" or personal ones in a dream. What I refer to as universal symbols, are symbols that have a universal meaning which the collective, or people in across any culture or background, see in their dreams. If you like, they are present in our collective conciousness, the human-family mind, and are shaped by our common aspirations, needs or experiences.
Common themes or universal symbols are, for example, dreaming of a house, fish, a wedding, falling teeth, or having sex. These help us to interpret the "universal" message or meaning of a dream- the backdrop, if you like.
Personal Symbols
What I refer to as personal, or individual symbols, are other particular symbols which your own mind weaved into the narrative, against the universal backdrop, of your dream.
They are shaped by whatever is in your mind at any particular moment, or by a personal experience or event, they can also be people, people's names, locations, that you know. These are the particulars that mean something
personal to you. For example, dreaming of your own mother, has a personal meaning as well as a universal one when expressed in a dream.
When dream interpretation combines the two, universal as well as personal or individual meaning, you will arrive at a deeper, more meaningful and personal interpretation of your dream. Find out how.
