Knowing yourself through your dreams

Have you dreamed of something very mysterious, familiar, or important and you just don't know how? Not sure how to decipher why and how it happened? What role did you play in those dreams and how? These questions, simply answered, depend on the mood of the dream and how you would interpret them. To know yourself through your dreams depicts your personality in your waking life.

One way that you can remember the fragments of your dreams (called dream symbols) are through the familiarity of the people, places, or things involved in the dreams and in waking life. Try to pay as much attention to signs as you can around you that are induced.

Another thing to pay attention to them is to sense continuity, or deja vu. How often the incidence occurs versus how often you dream it may bring about an outcome that something similar in real life, then there could be a possibility that the dream could turn into reality. Take at least five minutes after you wake up to think up the facts. Lay there and immerse. You may accumulate some interesting facts.

Sources to find certain dream symbols (places, people, mostly relatives and objects) can be researched by going to a dream interpretation website or looking them up in a dream book. They are good sources for representations and everyday things. Great websites to go to are www.dreammoods.com, www.dreamdoctor.com, www.dreamprophesy.com, and www.edgarcayce.org/dreams/drea m_dictionary.asp. You can find a dream book by checking it out at the library or buying it at a bookstore.

Also, a best-kept recommendation is to keep a dream journal to help you remember when the dream took place, what happened in the dream (including the date and time), who the person(s) involved were, and how the dream affected you and the other people portrayed. It could add up to an outcome that a prior event is happening and it could produce options to handle yourself into such a situation.

In knowing myself through my dreams, I usually place myself in what it could have been if were in such situation, why and what I would do to handle it.
