Dream Symbols and Dream Interpretations

Snakes

• In Indian tradition, moving snakes symbolize the stirring of kundalini.
• In Freudian terms, snake is a phallic symbol.
• Jung, however, interpreted snakes as symbolic of the conflict between conscious attitudes and instincts.

Houses

• According to Freud, dreaming of houses indicates the desire to visit a brothel.
• In Jungian terms, a house is a representation of the self and its rooms are personality aspects.

Birds

• For Freud, birds are phallic symbols.
• For Artemidorus and Jung, birds are images of the soul, the desire to be free. And their condition in the dream indicates the condition of the soul.

Flying

• For Freud, once again, this indicates sexual activity.
• Jung suggests that flying symbolizes confidence, liberty and transcendence.
• In modern terms, flying dreams symbolize exceptional ability.

Exhibitionism

• In Freudian terms this indicates a desire for uninhibited sexuality.
• For Jung, it indicates vulnerability and a message from the unconscious to be less self-conscious.

Being chased

• Most dream interpreters agree that this seems to suggest childhood fears or present pressures and threats.

Failing

• For Freud, falling symbolizes sexual inability.
• In modern terms, falling represents a fear of loss of control.

Horses

• According to Freud, horses symbolize the sexual drive.
• Jung noted that horse dreams could often be indicative of health conditions.
• Horses can also represent clairvoyance and fertility.

Climbing

• Freud interprets this as the desire to have an erection.
• For Jung it is a transition from one stage of life to another.
• Modern psychoanalysts believe that climbing dreams reflect the effort required to meet a challenge.

Mystical dreams

It is a mystical dream when:

• It seems to have a unique, and often surreal, world of its own that most doesn't correlate with your perception of the normal world.
• There is no connection between your everyday associations or experiences and the dream.
• It is surprisingly real. In fact, a part of you might actually wonder if it is not really a dream but vision of a different reality.
• Some images continue to recur each time you have the dream.
• Though the context or the symbolism may be different, it often leaves you with more or less the same kind of feeling—be it contentment, ecstasy, joy, pain, sorrow or wonder.
• It doesn't make sense if you try to interpret it in ordinary terms.

How to work with your dreams

• Each night, just before you go off to sleep, tell yourself that you will remember your dreams.
• Keep a small notebook near your bed and each time you wake up from a dream, jot down the key words so that you can remember it in the morning.
• Maintain a dream diary. Every morning, write down the content of your dreams in minute detail. Date and time them as accurately as possible.
• Try and remember if events of the previous day have any connection with the images.
• Take each main constituent of the dream separately. Try free association-write a string of words that come to your mind when you think of a particular dream image.
• Leave some space after each dream so that whenever a connection or interpretation strikes you, you can jot it down.
• Put all the associations together and see if you can find a pattern emerging that relates to your life.

Lucid Dreaming and Lucid dreams

Lucid dreaming can happen to you spontaneously. It may also take ages. Here is how you can prepare yourself for the experience:

• As you drift to sleep, repeat an affirmation in your mind that you will become lucid in your dreams and will be able to guide yourself through the unsought realm of the dreamworld.
• Throughout the day, ask yourself whenever you begin to take things for granted: "Could I be dreaming now?"
• Pretend you're dreaming. Use your imagination to create a dream and explore flying, time travel, bi-location, other dimensions, or something equally fantastic.
• Several times a day, stop and ask yourself: "If what I am experiencing now is really a dream, what would it mean?"
• Meditate regularly.
• Participate in dream groups. People with a regular forum in which to explore, appreciate, interpret, and share dreams tend to naturally become regular lucid dreamers.

Dattatreya Siva Baba
