How many times have you woken up and found yourself asking, "Where did that come from?" Why on earth have I dreamt about rabid dogs, leaves growing out of my arms, a blue pig, cleaning toilets, being pricked by a needle, snakes, pigeons etc etc etc..... ? Well, dream symbols may be weird, confusing, shocking and sometimes frightening but they do appear for a purpose. In my view, that purpose is for our own personal growth, development and self awareness.
The first thing to realise - and you intuitively know this, is that the symbols that appear in your dreams are NOT RANDOM. Each and every one has been selected by your mind (or soul, higher self) to give you information about something pertinent to you - to give you an opportunity for healing and self discovery. Once you understand what the symbol means you will see the logic of why it appeared in the first place and you will gain an insight into the bizarre, but oddly comprehensible world of dream language.
So let's start demystifying the whole subject of dream interpretation and start understanding those strange symbols that have been appearing in your dreams!
Dreaming is an amazing fact of human existence. Where else can we experience such rich emotions, such a variety of experience and such incredible journeys?
You do not need to be psychic to understand dreams, nor do you need a dream dictionary. You just need practical and useable steps that you can immediately incorporate into your life. I'm hoping you will find this guide easy to follow, down to earth and informative, and after reading it you may wonder why dream interpretation was such a mystery before!
There are four main elements to interpreting dream symbols and I've called this (rather uniquely!) the 4 step technique. This system will enable you to quickly and easily understand, connect to, and interpret, any symbol that appears in your dreams. I developed this technique by systematically breaking down the process I was intuitively using to interpret my own and my clients dream symbols. I felt people needed a simplified and reliable way to gain access to the depth of meaning and significance that their dream symbols were trying to relate and the 4 step technique was the end result.
I will show you how to use these four elements, and as we go through the process, I have included an example of a real dream symbol to aid your understanding. The first time you do this it may take you 5 or 10 minutes but the more frequently you do it, the less time it will take you, and after a short while it will become almost automatic.
So get your pen and paper ready and let's get started!
