Dream Interpretation
Dream, Dream, Dream
“The dream is a little hidden
door in the innermost and most secret
recesses of the soul.” – Carl
Jung
You are sitting at a desk in your old
high school. You look around and all the
kids are writing furiously. Brows are
furrowed and pens are tapping methodically
on the desks. You hear the click of the
invigilator’s heels. PANIC! Why
did you not know about this exam? Why
did you not study? How could you be so
unprepared? How did you get yourself into
this nightmare?!
Many of us would like answers to questions
about our dreams and nightmares. What
do they mean? Although they may seem fleeting
and/or irrelevant, they are an integral
part of our subconscious life. The dream
that leaves you anxious or thoughtful
might be the important piece to a puzzle
in an aspect of your life. So, whether
a dream causes you to break into a sweat
from fear or wakes you up smiling and
happy, its manifestation is an important
key to the understanding and betterment
of yourself through dream interpretation.
In fact, what might seem like an ethereal
experience has a strong
foundation in science and reality. There
has been much research done in the area
of dreams by several respected theorists
and researchers. One of the most notable
is Sigmund Freud. Many know him as the
father of psychoanalysis and innate in
his study of the subconscious mind was
the observation of dreams and dream interpretation.
For Freud, dreams acted as a tool, a lens
through which one might have a better
view of the mind’s inner machinations.
Dreams act as an outlet for repressed
thought, wish fulfillment, or can be representative
of anxieties and fears. A case in point
is our frightening dream about an exam.
Dreams are also believed to contain symbolic
elements. In our dreams, things are not
always what they appear to be; objects
and people may act as substitutes for
other elements of our lives. Carl Jung,
another key figure in the area of dream
interpretation, believed that certain
symbolic themes were similar across cultures
and time. Tapping into these symbols,
which he believed to be part of a larger
“collective unconscious,”
can help us to achieve self-realization,
a fuller understanding of our being, our
lives and our place in the world.
Our dreams often represent an unknown
part of ourselves and accessing that part
can give us insight into many aspects
of our lives, some of which may seem muddled
and confusing at times. Greater self-knowledge
through dream analysis can lead to greater
satisfaction in life.
