# Introduction

This book is about my experience with interpreting my dreams when I was in my early 40's. I discovered I was having many prophetic dreams during this time. Most all of my dreams were dreams that came true. I felt very compelled to learn all I could about the different types of dreams, symbolism, archetypes and intuitive information.

I spent several years journaling my dreams and participating in dream forums. I became a "dream interpreter". Although that was not my intention to interpret dreams for others or become a "go to" person for dream interpretations. I began to have many email requests from people across the world asking for my interpretations as well as personal friends and family members.  Dream interpretation seemed to be easy. I soon found out that it can be easy for anyone who makes a decision to journal their dreams and pay attention to the symbols along with their emotions surrounding the dream.

You will learn how to interpret your dreams by journaling your dreams, defining their archetypes, determining their "dream type", listing actions and feelings and combining this information to produce a solid interpretation.

It is not my intention to become over analytical about dreams in this ebook. I feel that it is impossible for anyone to completely interpret a dream for themself or anyone else as the human psyche holds many mysteries unknown to us. It would be an unreasonable expectation to interpret dreams completely as it has been my experience that many dreams are prophetic. Many of the details, although may be applicable to current circumstances, reveal future events that are usually unknown until the event occurs. In hindsight it then becomes very easy to see additional interpretations of a dream.

My research into dreams in general revealed that dreams are very personal as they tell stories to you about you. Our dreams draw upon our own "universal" memory bank which holds information deep within our subconscious mind along with being linked to the universal mind. This information along with our experience during dream time is very powerful as it is in this "state" which we encounter our authentic self without restriction. We are allowed to look through the window into our multi-dimensional self and observe everything that we are trying to tell ourselves during waking time. Our dreams do not lie to us or try to make us feel better. This is great news as dream time is a safe place which allows us to feel and confront things we may avoid while awake.

The Five Easy Steps to Dream Interpretation combine to define a general dream analysis and interpretation. I also suggest adopting a personal method of interpretation of your dreams. This is possible after time is spent committing to dream journaling and a good working list of the dream archetypes. Please read in part 3 for further discussion on dream journals and part 5 for a list of most commonly encountered dream archetypes.

Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung revolutionized the study of dreams with their work. Although Freud was Jung's mentor he saw the unconscious as spiritual and Jung split with Freud due to their differing views on dreams. Jung believed dreams are a way of communicating with you and with the subconscious. Dreams are not meant to hide your true feelings from the waking mind but they are a window to your unconscious. They serve to guide to achieve wholeness and offer solutions. Carl Jung also believed in the existence of the unconscious but did not see the unconscious as animalistic, instinctual, or sexual.

I generally agree with Carl Jung but also draw upon Sigmund Freud's school of thought on this subject as well. I will, for the purposes of my book, mainly draw from Jung as this seems to work best for me.

Discover for yourself what your dreams are telling you. Practice interpreting for your friends as well. Discover hidden intuitive messages you are receiving during dream time and go over past dreams to see if these dreams, in fact, predicted some of your current or recent events.

Dream interpretation is fun! It lends itself to self-awareness. It offers a fun venue of discovery through many different symbols and archetypes and unlocks the mystery and authenticity of "you". Sweet Dreams!

#  What is Dream Interpretation

A dream is defined in Webster's Dictionary as a "sequence of sensations, images, thoughts, etc. passing through a sleeping person's mind." Dreams have been around since man's experience came to be and have been a normal part of human existence.

Dream interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. In many ancient societies dreaming was considered a supernatural communication or a means of divine intervention, whose message could be unraveled by people with certain powers. In modern times, various schools of psychology have offered theories about the meaning of dreams.

Dream interpretations date back to 3000-4000 BC. We have been fascinated with them and have strived to understand them. In some societies, people were unable to distinguish between the dream world and the waking world. They saw that the dream world was a more powerful world.

The people of Greece and Rome perceived dreams in a religious context. Dreams were believed to be direct messages from the gods of the heavens or from spirits of the dead. They believed dreams delivered foreboding messages or prophesies for the future. Shrines were erected where people slept believing they would receive a message from their dreams. This powerful belief in dream messages even dictated the actions of powerful leaders. Politicians and military leaders retained dream interpreters to help with their strategies.

The Egyptians regarded people with vivid and lucid dreams to be blessed and special. They recorded dreams in hieroglyphics. People who interpreted dreams were regarded as divine. The bible contains hundreds of references to dreams.

Two basic approaches to analyzing dream material are the objective and the subjective. In the objective approach every person in the dream refers to the person they are. In the subjective approach, every person in the dream represents an aspect of the dreamer. Thus, if the dreamer is being pursued by a wild animal, the dreamer may recognize his own wild or uninhibited nature as well as the issues and feelings surrounding the situation.

The next element of dream interpretation is using archetypes. An archetype is a universally understood symbol or pattern of behavior. Some refer to dream archetypes as dream symbols or dream metaphors. The definitions of these terms differ but within the scope of dream interpretation all apply. The dream scope can be vague and subjective as all dreams are ultimately relative individually and personally.

Archetypes are an important element in the process of interpretation as these indicators are the nuts and bolts of one's dream and lead to the crux of the message being conveyed. Archetypes as well as conditions within the dream, plus the emotions surrounding the dream experience are the core steps to dream interpretation.

Part 5 provides a definitive list of the most common archetypes. The list will provide you with a great beginning on the simple steps to interpreting dreams.

Personal archetypes are just that; relative to yourself indicating objects, scenarios or people that only you will understand based on a past experience or numerous past experiences.

I offer an example so you may understand and be able to recognize possible personal archetypes. I have had numerous dreams concerning a person I knew and lived with abroad in Europe. I have had many dreams including this person in different scenarios that had nothing to do with our relationship. I understood after dream journaling this person continued to show up to symbolize a type of individual in my current waking time. A person whom I may desire to rely on for a source of support or escape or a type of person I want within my current life circumstances.

I also will site another example of a different personal archetype. I had a stuffed Santa Claus doll as a very young child that I only was allowed to have during Christmas time. I loved this doll and was always excited when it was finally time for me to have my Santa Claus again. This is another personal metaphor that shows up in certain dreams to represent to me a happy time as a child as well as a time of the year. The doll also represents someone who is loving, giving, happy and exciting. I know when I see this doll in or out of a dream I am reminiscing on a happy time and my desire to recapture this feeling. This personal archetype also represents my parents (the givers and caretakers), God (the loving Father and care "giver"), gifts of all different types that I have or that I want. This archetype can also represent a type of relationship I am currently encountering or want to experience.

I suggest dream journaling a list of your own personal archetypes. This will be very easy to do as they will show up periodically. You will know them immediately as the personal and unique meaning they have only to you.

Other elements in dream interpreting are ascertaining the actions, situations, behaviors and "Dream Type" which is discussed in part 4.

#  Interpreting Dreams

The Five Easy Steps of Dream Interpretation are as follows:

Dream Journaling the entire dream

Listing the Archetypes

Listing the actions, situations, behaviors and feelings about the dream

Combination of the above elements to interpret the dream

Ascertaining the Dream Type

Dream journaling is the first step in beginning dream interpretation. Keep it simple and start journaling your dreams upon awakening every day if possible. I recommend a common spiral notebook. However if you prefer to purchase a nice hardback journal and feel that it inspires your dream journaling then this may be the best option for you. I spent several years dream journaling before I was able to interpret spontaneously as I do now. I admit I do not journal every dream as I once did but still do with certain dreams. I also have plenty of friends and clients who request dream interpretation which gives me enough practice.

Title your dreams such as "The New Year's Dream". This will give your writing a natural flow. Date your dream as different dreams can often be connected although they may reflect no resemblance to each other. This dated chronicle will give great insight about yourself and what "makes you tick". This is personal psychotherapy except you are the coach and now have your own strategy. Do not leave out small details.

Consider using different colored pens or pencils to indicate colors you encounter in your dreams. Indicate all objects and shapes and draw them as well. Certain scenes and images may be difficult to describe entirely in words so drawing or sketching the objects, shapes and colors can help to tie the story together.

Be sure to include all emotional impressions from your dream and upon awakening. Include your emotions as well as others who were present in your dream as this gives the "ambiance" or nature of the dream. Your dream may include what appears to be "happy" archetypes such as sunshine or rainbows, but if you or others are unhappy this element can be very revealing as to the underlying meaning of the dream.

Write down your dream archetypes. The archetypes are going to be the objects in your dream such as people, places, things and actions. An example of an "action" archetype is riding a bike. No detail is too small. If you see a house and you notice the landscaping such as trees, shrubs and flowers these are showing up as "things" at a "place" (the house). Your dream is indicating to you details surrounding the situation regarding the house.

I will give an example of one of my dreams for the purpose of indicating steps 1 through 5 of the above list. I will indicate the action archetypes with bold italics and emotions in italics.

I was riding in a car in the front passenger seat. I noticed I was being driven through the neighborhood where I was living at the time. The name of the neighborhood was called The Heights. I was unaware of who was driving the car. We drove past an old wooden house which was in desperate need of repair. There were small shrubs around the front of the house, a front porch and a blue late model convertible parked in the front yard. I remembered thinking "I wonder what they are doing in there" and feeling left out of the event. The dream changed as I entered the house. The house was emptied of furniture and decoration with one small chair sitting in the center of the living room. My boyfriend at the time was sitting in the chair tuning his guitar and his guitar was plugged into a small amplifier. My boyfriend was and is actually a guitar player so this did not surprise me. I also saw another friend there with him. She was a very creative poet who recited her amazing poems on stage at a local coffee house. Both these people were and are very talented. I remember opening the front door and seeing the blue convertible and the two of them in the car about to drive away. ~

I had this dream years ago when I first started practicing dream interpretation so I was unaware of my own personal archetypes but some of the archetypes in this dream have become my personal archetypes. I was excited about this dream and immediately documented it in my dream journal. I listed the archetypes, looking up the meaning of each archetype, interpreted my dream and then ascertained a dream type.

The archetypes: Car, riding in a car in the front passenger seat; my neighborhood – The Heights; a house, the condition of the house being made of wood and in need of repair; small shrubs around the front of the house; a front porch; a car; a blue convertible parked in the front yard; the color "blue"; my feelings while riding in the car; inside of the house; the house completely empty; my boyfriend sitting in a small chair in the living area tuning his guitar; guitar connected to a small amplifier; my female poet friend present in the house; My boyfriend and my friend in the convertible about to drive away.

Create a list of archetypes as I have done above or you can go back into your dream journal and highlight each archetype. You can also use different colors to indicate the actions and feelings.

Now that I have documented all of the necessary elements of my dream I can begin with my interpretation and then ascertain a dream type. I must not exclude the fact that I am an intuitive medium and that this ability does facilitate my dream interpreting abilities. Paradoxically it was through my practice in dream interpreting that my intuitive abilities catapulted as well. I mention this as it would be unfair if I did not also include my heightened intuition in dream interpreting. I will say that dream interpretation naturally heightens the intuition. You will discover and become aware of your authentic self and your relationship to God or the Spirit of the Universe. Your awareness will be the pipeline through which divine inspiration and intuition will flow.

Old House Dream" (04/10/2004)

This dream reflects the self –help issues that are coming up for me now. I am riding in the passenger seat of a car. This archetype is an indication of my dependence or degree of control I have on my life. I have turned over the control to a "higher power" and this power is showing me around my neighborhood, The Heights, also taking me to greater heights in all areas of my life. The old house represents me, my old ideas and the part of me that needs reconstruction. I see small shrubs in the front of the house near the front porch which indicates my budding, new spirituality and "growth". I see a front porch which indicates my personality and outgoing nature. It is also representative of how I am portraying myself which is old and "outdated". The convertible reference represents my glamorous attitude and showing off of power and influence. This is a late model convertible so this is indicative of issues from my past that I am processing or that are surfacing. The convertible is parked in front of the house so I may be about to face these issues soon. The inside of the house is empty which means I have done a complete house cleaning. I have cleared myself of ideas and beliefs which no longer apply. I'm ready to move to a more updated version of me. I see my boyfriend sitting in a chair tuning his guitar which is plugged into an amplifier along with another friend who is an accomplished writer and poet. The two are the people closest to me in my life right now which is why they are inside of the house. My boyfriend is trying to enhance his musical skills as indicated by the amplifier and the both of them together represent my need to locate my own gifts and talents. I also remember my feelings of being "left out" while riding in the other car and "wondering what they were doing in there". This represents my insecurities or inadequacies of my own abilities and wanting to find my own niche. I see the two of them about to leave in the blue convertible which still represents one of my old ideas of glamour and how I am no longer a part of this. The color blue represents two things. The presence of my new found spirituality indicated by the presence of my "higher power" and my "feelings" surrounding the past. It indicates feeling sadness or depression surrounding my past events.

The circumstances of my life played a significant part in this dream interpretation. If I were to have a similar dream today it could mean something completely different. Dreams about you draw in your current life scenarios. However, I will refer back to this dream as this dream holds personal archetypes. I will also discuss this dream further to indicate its "dream types". This dream type falls into more than one category as this dream was a "Prophetic dream, "Release Dream", "Recurring Dream" and "Mutual Dream".

My dream interpretation is completed. What do I get out of the process of interpreting my dream? I gain hidden insight into my current circumstances and my feelings about them. I gain hope for my spiritual progress and for moving forward in the future. I receive confirmation and comfort about a higher power guiding my life and showing me what I need to know now and in the future.

Interpreting dreams for others is not very different from interpreting for you except their circumstances and personal archetypes are different. Ask them to type it into an email or message so you will have your list of archetypes. Ask if they have had this dream before so you can rule it out of the recurring dream type. Ask if they always dream in color so you do not misinterpret the dream as prophetic. Keep in mind that the dream is about the other person so do not attach personal interpretations. You will make your best interpretation after you have ascertained the meanings of the archetypes and the dream type. The interpretation will make sense to them as they are aware of their current circumstances and the content will reflect this unless this is a prophetic dream.

Dream interpretation is easy. Since dream interpretation is not difficult or time consuming it should be kept simple. I had a genuine interest in my dreams as well as in others' dreams and this was enough for me to begin my journey of dream interpretation. A sincere desire along with practicing the simple steps outlined in this book will be enough for you to become an avid and astute dream interpreter.

#  Dream Types

Prophetic Dreams

Prophetic dreams are always in color. You may dream in color most or all of the time but these dreams never deviate from this one indicator. The events are logical and can sometimes have a sequential order. Although I have seen dreams and interpreted prophetic dreams that did not have a specific order to them. These dreams are sometime called precognitive dreams or telepathic dreams as some people dream of events while the event is actually happening.

Release Dreams

Release dreams are disorganized dreams that present extreme events which produce emotions of confusion, fear or exhilaration. Nightmares fall under this dream category. Common examples of a release dream are loved ones being hurt or killed; dreams of being lost or late for something. These dreams can present devastating scenarios and I am often emailed or called by someone wanting to know could this be a prophetic dream due to the emotions they produce. These dreams provide a safe space for us to release anxiety as during wake time. We need release dreams to process out extreme anxiety and fear. Once we understand this dream type we can calm down and understand we are just blowing off steam while we sleep.

Wish Dreams

Wish Dreams are "wishful thinking" while we sleep. These dreams often reflect the very best but outlandish possible scenario. Everything is perfect in a wish dream as it reflects a story where "all our dreams come true". A common example of a wish dream is winning the lottery and going on a spending spree; being in a negative relationship in wake time and dreaming of this person treating us exactly the way we desire with a "happy ending"; Dreaming that your friend who is terminally ill in wake time is completely cured. The wish dream presents the "too good to be true" scenarios but can give us hope and a positive outlook or insight for solutions for our current circumstances.

Problem Solving Dreams

Problem solving dreams are basically waking up from a dream with more information about a situation than you had before going to sleep. This information is most commonly solution oriented and sheds light on problems or situations. The phrase "sleep on it" applies to this dream type. Examples of a problem solving dream is a mother who is expecting a child and waking up positive about the name for her baby; a high school student who goes to sleep mulling over possible solutions to a math problem and remembers the answer in a dream; a man who goes to sleep after spending days on an issue at work and recalls a vivid dream of the answers he needs. The solutions we seek in problem solving dreams are generally received through telepathy or we simply project ourselves to the source of where the solutions reside. Telepathy and astral projection or astral travel are not for certain people who "know how" to do this and have a special ability. We all have these innate abilities and while we are still or asleep these abilities do not encounter the distractions as they would during wake time. I often suggest to people to ask for the solutions before going to sleep and see what you get!

Astral Visit Dreams

Astral Visit Dreams are not dreams nor do they feel like it when you awaken. These dreams are visitations with a loved one who has passed away, an angelic being or guardian. Often times it is very clear that you had a very real experience while visiting with a loved one from the other side. They often show up in a setting which is recognizable and familiar to you both or a scene which is beautiful and comfortable. These dreams can leave you feeling comforted and happy. I have been told by many people that they look forward to these dreams as they are so special. Many who have lost loved ones ask when they will see their loved one in dream time. These visits occur within a divine order and cannot be practiced as in lucid dreaming. However I suggest if you desire such an experience to make it clear during your prayer or meditation that you are open to receiving such an experience.

Lucid Dreams

Lucid dreams are when you recognize you are dreaming. You may tell yourself you are dreaming or remind yourself "this is just a dream" and proceed to wake up. This is most typical with lucidity in dreams. You can realize you are having a lucid dream when you are controlling events and the outcome of the dream; deliberately move from one dream to another; recognize and say to yourself you are lucid dreaming or you are "dreaming". Some practice lucid dreaming and develop methods and skills to enhance their lucid dreams.

Recurring Dreams

Recurring dreams are often a subset of other dream types i.e. Release Dreams; Problem Solving Dreams or Prophetic dreams. Nightmares or release dreams that recur represent a repeating issue in one's wake time. Problem solving recurring dreams is your subconscious trying to give to you the original solution that you were not aware from the first dream. These dream types can also present themselves as past life dreams. You are drawing from a past life experience to reach a resolution or a different outcome. These dreams end once the experience has resolved itself. I subset other recurring dreams under prophetic dreams or telepathic dreams as they will give information about the future and will make a strong point to let you know what is to come. Once you have realized the information is prophetic or has reached fruition the dream will stop.

Mutual Dreams

Mutual dreams or shared dreams are when two or more people have the same dream usually at the same time. Although mutual dreams do not always happen at the same time the dreams are nearly identical in type and symbols. This type of dream is common among family members and those who are closely bonded. Telepathy and astral travel are the two sources for this dream. One of the individuals accesses the information while the other is experiencing a telepathic communication or visit with that person. I will give an example of a mutual dream referring back the "Old House Dream".

I will cite several examples of the dream types above using the "Old House Dream". This dream features examples of a Prophetic Dream, Release Dream, Recurring Dream and Mutual Dream.

This dream was a prophetic dream as I did part ways with my boyfriend and my poet friend. This was indicated in my dream when I saw them both leave together in the blue car. They were very much alike as they were both very creative but did represent my past ideas and beliefs. They left my life to go their own way to experience their own spiritual growth.

This dream was also a release dream because of my emotions and feeling left out, confusion and insecurities. This dream described how I felt about my current situation and about myself as well.

Ten days after having the "Old House Dream" I had another dream as described below. This dream recurred and also was a Mutual Dream. My boyfriend and I, and my poet friend all shared the same dream which I will describe now. My boyfriend and my friend did say that they were inside of an old empty house and were walking around into each room. Their dreams ended there before the place in my dream where I am showing them the blue spaceship outside the front door. The spaceship was my archetype to see and interpret. We all telepathically communicated through this dream about my emotional and spiritual circumstances. I did not have this dream again because upon realizing the message from the dream, the dream stopped.

The Spaceship and Old House Dream 04/20/04

Once again I was inside of the empty old house again. As before, my boyfriend and poet friend were there and the inside of the house looked the same. I remember walking around inside of the house inspecting each room and thinking about how the house was completely empty. The poet friend, my boyfriend and I were all standing in the empty living room. I opened up the front door and saw a blue spaceship hovering over the front yard. I looked at my two friends and pointed at the ship because I didn't think they could see it. I felt excited and exhilarated to see the spaceship.

The Spaceship Dream Archetypes

The "Old House", walking around the house; rooms; my boyfriend and my poet friend are in the house; door; the color blue; spaceship; pointed at the spaceship because I thought they could not see it; I felt excited and exhilarated about the spaceship.

The Spaceship and Old House Dream Interpretation

The house represents me. I am walking around the house as I am not used to my old things not being there and am confused by this change in my life. The empty rooms represent a "fresh start". I see my boyfriend and my poet friend there in the living room. They are both currently in my life but are now representing to me some of my old ideas and beliefs. This dream indicates to me that although I may have let go a great deal of my past I am still holding on to old ideas and beliefs. I see the spaceship which means an increase in intuition and spirituality as well as reaching new heights. I still live in a neighborhood called "The Heights" so I feel that the spaceship is a metaphor for this as well. I feel excited and exhilarated at seeing the spaceship as I feel like this is what's in front of me as it is just outside of my front door.

Dream journaling and dating these dreams were very effective for interpreting this dream along with the original dream. These dreams were connected and gave additional information for my personal growth and preparation for future events.

I was also able to make a list of personal archetypes from these dreams along with other dreams. Listed here are personal archetypes: my poet friend shows up as a metaphor as someone to indicate someone like her or something that I would like to do or create. The spaceship shows up when I am encountering a new endeavor or time for spiritual growth. The house continues to show up but in a different condition. The house looks brand new which indicates how I see myself or how I feel about myself. The house is under construction which means I am encountering a transformation. I continue to see different cars as well. I am either driving the car or riding in the car which represents how much control I have over my current situation. Plants and shrubs represent my spiritual growth or general growth.

Make a list of your personal archetypes after you have journaled enough dreams for them to consistently reappear. These will serve you well as they eventually alert you during the dream of its meaning. Your dreams will become more lucid when you have a good working knowledge of your archetypes. Your intuition will soar because you are spending time with your spirit mind or subconscious mind. You will receive solutions to problems more frequently during dream time as you are open to Spirit and telepathic skills move to the forefront. You will notice an increase in prophetic dreams and recognize them immediately and may also encounter more astral dream visits.

Dreams are a valuable part of our experience. Many tend to dismiss this awesome time we spend traveling, collaborating and helping ourselves to stay balanced and healed. Dream interpretation can serve you well as it can be your own "self-help" venue. Dream interpretation is fun and enlightening and will continue to present all the information you need to heal, solve your problems, offer solutions and take you to visit extraordinary people and places. Our dreams are powerful or more powerful than our waking experiences as we do not encounter the obstacles and resistance as we do during wake time.

Value your dreams as they are all about you and are you. Value your dreams and you will value yourself.

Baby - Indicates innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted. If you find a baby in your dream, then it suggests that you have acknowledged your hidden potential.

Forgetting about a baby represents an aspect of yourself that you have abandoned or put aside due to life's circumstances. The dream may be a reminder that it is time for you to pick up that old interest, hobby, or project again. If you dream that you are on your way to the hospital to have a baby, then it signifies your issues of dependency and your desires to be completely cared for. If you are pregnant in real life, then a more direct interpretation may simply mean that you are experiencing some anxieties of making it to the hospital when the time comes. To dream of a crying baby symbolizes a part of you that is deprived of attention.

Basement - Symbolizes your subconscious mind and intuition. The appearance of the basement is an indication of your subconscious state of mind and level of satisfaction. It represents primal urges, animalistic desires and basic needs. The dream may also be metaphor for "abasement" or being "debased". Are you feeling humbled or unworthy?

If you have difficulties riding the bicycle, then it suggests that you are experiencing anxieties about making it on your own. To see a bicycle in your dream indicates that you need to devote time to leisurely pursuits and recreation.

Birds - To see birds in your dream symbolize your goals, aspirations and hopes. To dream of chirping and/or flying birds, represent joy, harmony, ecstasy, balance, and love. You are experiencing spiritual freedom and psychological liberation. It is almost as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
