What do dream symbols mean? Communication with the subconscious. Prophetic dreams are harbingers of fate

Dream analysis. For what?

Dreams and their competent analysis - great helpers on the path of self-discovery and increasing our awareness, obligatory companions not only our personal growth and our inner work, but also Beauty Awareness or Mindful Beauty, which inevitably lead:

• To increase energy levels. Gradually, it becomes easier for us to let go and forgive people who cause us trauma, to free ourselves from limiting beliefs about the world.
• Makes this process of self-knowledge and personal growth much more accessible (I couldn’t help but write “easy” :)). We all know that this process is always fraught with difficulties, but brings bonuses.

• To a deeper experience of the world around us and its Beauty, to an expansion of consciousness and a deeper understanding of the events that happen to us and our reactions to them.

• To change your environment in a positive way. As you become more aware, you begin to choose like-minded people and partners.

• You will quit your boring job and will definitely find your passion and purpose, in general, you will start doing something that will excite you in a way that is not childish :).

Dreams and their symbols in the interpretation of K.G. Jung (it’s somehow awkward to even imagine him, we already know everything about him, we love his works and respect him) are messengers and markers of personal transformation and internal work, in other words, they are synchronized with deep subconscious processes and can tell us what’s wrong with us is actually happening!

To improve the memory of dreams, it is recommended to create a special journal and keep it on your bedside table so that you can immediately record them upon waking up. Over time, this useful practice will lead to remembering more and more dreams and their details, they will become more colorful and interesting. Your subconscious will begin to talk to you with pleasure :), and according to the testimony of many enthusiasts, you will even be able to realize in a dream that you are dreaming and change the course of dreams at your discretion. If anyone is interested, write, I will be happy to share what I know about this and my experience in more detail.

Now again about symbolism: of course, dear K.G. Jung always emphasized that there is no single universal interpretation of dreams, and everything is purely individual. And yet…

12 dream symbols and their interpretation from the point of view of the Jungian approach:

1 . CHASE, you are being chased - something in your life needs your attention.

We easily remember such dreams, they make us worry and cause fear. Such events in dreams usually signal to us about what we are working with internally; the subconscious gives a hint that something requires closer attention, something that you are not paying attention to, but should be.

2.PEOPLE- in fact, these are characteristics of our personality.

People in dreams are symbols of self-image or characteristics of various aspects of yourself, helping us understand which ones need more attention and in which direction we should take our inner work. If you see specific people, this may indicate interpersonal issues and conflicts that you need to work through.

3. HOUSE- the dreamer's consciousness.

There are several levels of consciousness that make up our mind. And its different parts are different aspects of the psyche. For example, a basement may represent something that is not given due attention, or is not confidently recognized by the dreamer in real life; the bedroom can be translated into our language as intimate thoughts, feelings and memories. Activities in the house mean the dreamer's activities in interpreting information and ways of using the structure of consciousness.

4. FOOD- KNOWLEDGE.

In the physical world, food nourishes our bodies. In the world of dreams, food is a representation of feeding our minds, in other words, knowledge. Dreams about food can also be interpreted as the mind being “hungry” and seeking new ideas and knowledge.

5 SCHOOL- EDUCATION.

When a school or class appears in your dream, or you dream about typical school events, such as taking a test, this actually signifies an internal learning process, and can be interpreted as the need to understand something from a situation, past or present, or indicates that you have some need for introspection.

6.NUDITY- sincerity and openness, quite possibly excessive.

When one sees oneself or another naked in a dream, it means that a certain aspect or emotion of the dreamer is currently being expressed openly and without restrictions, to the point that the dreamer feels exposed.

7. SEX- sexual expression or unification and creation.

When you dream about sex, it can represent an acknowledgment, an acceptance by the dreamer of their unconscious desires and emotions, in other words, a kind of newfound wholeness. Dreams about sex can also symbolize creating new intimate relationships with others or with yourself. Although in many cases, sexual dreams are simply an outlet for energy.

8. CARS- give or receive EXPERIENCE.

Vehicles in a dream symbolize the means to overcome what is happening in our conscious life, how much control we have over life or what we encounter along the way, events and obstacles that occur. The type and size of the vehicle also plays a role: an ambulance will indicate the need for treatment, a police car will indicate the need for discipline.

9. CHILD- new.

Dreaming about a baby symbolizes a new idea or development, or potential for growth in a particular area of ​​your life.

10. DEATH- drastic changes.

In the language of the mind, death usually represents a transition from one state to another. Although many perceive death in a dream as a scary or negative event, it usually correlates with a drastic change or transition occurring in the dreamer's life.

11. ANIMALS- the dreamer's habits.

Considering that the function of animals is mainly based on instinct, the presence of animals in dreams is a representation of our habits. When we dream about animals, it can provide us with invaluable insight into our daily routines as well as our deepest desires. The type of animal, what it does, and its habitat can all be used to interpret what our unconscious is signaling to us.

12. A FALL- return to wakefulness.

Typically, if you fall during sleep, it symbolizes the process of returning to a state of lucidity or waking consciousness. Often indicates that you do not feel able to control a certain aspect of your real life or are afraid of letting something or someone go from your life.

Dream analysis and increasing awareness in dreams are one of the most effective practices for “breaking into another dimension” of our life and transforming situations, the basis for wonderful changes, but it is important to enjoy them and not allow yourself to fall into interpretation and endless analysis of events, replacing them with life itself, and most importantly, its incredible Beauty!

I express my deep respect and support to everyone who is on the difficult path of working with themselves! :)

And I wish us all a good mood! :)

Modern science believes that from 25 to 50 percent of our sleep time we spend in dreamland, that is, we dream. Every night we have an average of six dream periods, each of which is about forty minutes long. Obviously, if we didn't dream, we would go crazy. Most dreams come from our subconscious, trying to break through to our consciousness and inform us about our own state.

Gypsies believe that these messages come from the spirits of their ancestors. Who's to say they're wrong? Our subconscious may be the result of the influence of these spirits, and we would do well to try to understand these messages sent for our own good, to listen to the messages of the ancestors. Our subconscious, or ancestral spirits, use symbols that are familiar to us. These are messages that use familiar objects from everyday life to help us better understand their meaning.

Sigmund Freud believed that the subconscious contains desires, thoughts, and events that we suppress, which our consciousness does not accept. Therefore, these desires are suppressed and often disguised. Carl Jung called this repressed material the individual unconscious. He believed that there was also a collective unconscious, which contained elements of family memory inherited from ancestors and past experience.

Universal and personal symbolism

There are two types of symbols that creep into us in dreams: universal and personal.

Suppose you dream of an ancient castle. Perhaps in the evenings you spend a lot of time watching TV and watching old movies about vampires, ghosts or ogres living in castles. This could cause you to automatically - consciously or unconsciously - associate locks with evil. Thus, when you think about, see, or dream about castles, you are conceptualizing “evil.” Or maybe you have a close friend who is interested in architecture and thinks that a castle is a very beautiful architectural structure. For him, the association of a castle with evil is ridiculous. Another may have grown up in Europe and lived in a castle for some time. This person does not consider castles either evil or beautiful, but simply cold, damp and full of drafts!

Thus, we have presented here three different perceptions of castles. These are personal interpretations. Each of these three, if he dreams of a castle, must analyze his personal association, deciding what this dream means for him.

But there is also universal symbolism, according to which the castle is associated with ambition. This is one interpretation of this image that is used by most people who do not experience any special personal emotions in relation to castles. As I write in Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft (Llewellyn, 1986):

"Universal symbolism includes things that are true for people of all nationalities and all ages. It includes colors, numbers, shape and sexual identity (that is, male and female symbols). They are from the superconscious and are therefore infinite."

Transportation is a universal symbol of spiritual development. As technology has advanced greatly, the symbolism used in dream interpretation has also changed. Thus, the symbol of transportation can take one of the modern forms: a rocket, an airplane, a steamship, a train, an automobile - or one of the eternal methods of transportation - on the back of an animal or on foot.

When you set out to interpret your dreams, you should analyze all the symbols and decide what each of them means to you personally. And if some symbols have a specific and personal meaning, then work with them. But if the symbols do not have any special meaning, then interpret your dreams according to universal symbolism.

It makes sense to take into account personal and universal symbolism when you need to judge two people who have had approximately the same dreams, but for each of them the meaning of the dream will be individual. Likewise, when fortune telling by cards, the same cards do not mean the same thing to two different people.

When a gypsy interprets your dream, he asks many questions to find out the individual meaning of each symbol.

When introducing dream symbols into the gypsy dream book, I, of course, can only give universal meanings. And you yourself must understand whether this or that meaning really fits, corresponds to your attitude towards the symbol, or whether you experience a stronger, more personal feeling: your feeling or interpretation is the most significant for you.

As Carl Jung wrote: “No dream symbol can be separated from the person who dreams it.”

Before we get to the symbols themselves and their universal meanings, I would like to devote space to the interpretation of prophetic dreams - those that tell you something about the future. I'd also like to talk about how to "order" a dream by deciding what you want to see in your dream from the future... even if it's the winner of tomorrow's race!

Good afternoon friends!

In this article I would like to tell you about another method of dream interpretation, and at the same time explain my position on dream books.

I have already published one, in which I gave a step-by-step method for interpreting dreams. It focuses on deciphering symbols and then “assembling” the plot of a dream, taking into account associations.

In this article we will continue the topic, and at the end I will give a small dictionary of universal symbols for interpretation. However, first I’ll tell you in more detail about why in my work with dreams I prefer to do without dream books.

Why don't I turn to dream books

I believe that all the images that come to us in a dream are very individual, and are interpreted differently for each person. It happens that some items or objects have a positive meaning for one person, while for another they have a negative meaning.

Once, I remember, I was conducting a survey among my friends. She gave everyone a small list of several words, asking them to write their associations to these words. I received very different interpretations!

For example, the word lock (door) was associated by some with perseverance, by others with an insurmountable obstacle, and by others...with creativity. I received many different interpretations, and once again I was convinced that each person’s perception of the same words is different.

This is an individual experience, and we see and feel the same phenomena, events, words differently.

Let me give you another example. Imagine summer. You are walking along the sandy bank of the river. What do you associate this with? What emotions arise?

Once upon a time, when I was 3 years old, my parents and I were at a camp site, I was walking barefoot in the sand and accidentally stepped on a bee. This was the first time I was stung by a bee, it was very painful and I was very scared. I remember that over the next few years I was afraid to walk barefoot on the sand.

Therefore, when I dream about the bank of a river, I always take it as a warning about some danger or trouble: “you shouldn’t go there.” I listen to this message, and as time passes, I know that I did the right thing.

Now try typing the words “Dream Interpretation River Bank” in Yandex. In most cases, the interpretation is as follows: “Joy, peace, reconciliation, goal achievement.” Also, some sources advise paying off debts, while others say that such a dream means loneliness, melancholy and nostalgia.

The fact is that the subconscious speaks to us in a language that we understand. It puts the message to everyone in those images that are closest to them, using the peculiarities of perception and human experience in their formation.

If you want, do a little experiment too. Ask a few people you know to imagine a tree and describe what they imagined. You will see for yourself how different their trees will be.

What about the differences in the perceptions of people of different cultures and nationalities? Seeing, for example, a cow in a dream for a resident of Russia and a resident of India will obviously carry completely different meanings. In India, the cow is a sacred animal. For us, these are just livestock that do not enjoy any special reverence.

Of course, there are symbols that carry more or less similar meanings for many people. For example, the sun. What is it usually associated with? Warm, summer, good mood. For many this is true, but again, not for everyone. However, we can still, to some extent, classify the sun as a universal symbol.

At the end of this article I will provide a short list of some of these interpretations. I will do this so that you can give an approximate direction to your thoughts when interpreting.

However, I immediately want to set you up for the fact that you will have to unravel your own symbols, find out what exactly this or that object in a dream means to you.

Should you keep a dream diary?

When I just started working with dreams (primarily, of course, with my own), in the literature on this topic that I came across, I always came across the same advice: “Start writing down all your dreams.”

In my opinion, I already wrote about this partially in my article about the OS. Those who practice them also often recommend doing this on the grounds that it can increase the number of dreams and help you understand them better.

I don’t want to challenge anyone’s experience and opinion, because I think that this is also an individual moment, but I don’t keep a dream diary as recommended: write down everything that I dream. Sometimes it is even advised to put a voice recorder or notebook with a pen next to your pillow so that when you wake up, you can immediately record what you see.

For me personally, this is very difficult and energy-consuming. If I wake up and start writing, I’m unlikely to fall asleep later. In addition, I see a large number of dreams. I know that there are people who practically do not see them or see them, but very rarely, but this is not about me. I can have seven or eight dreams a night, but usually at least three.

And they are quite long, plot-driven, full of various details and nuances. If, upon waking up, you start writing all this down, then half a day will be spent just describing your dreams, which, of course, is labor-intensive.

Therefore, I chose a different method for myself, and I want to offer it to you too. It involves writing down only those dreams that have a strong emotional impact on you.

If a person keeps a diary of events in everyday life, he is unlikely to write down absolutely all the events that happened to him during the day. No, he will write down one or two of the most important, key ones, those that affected him. It's the same with dreams.

The importance of a dream is determined by the intensity of the emotions associated with it. The more emotionally we reacted to it, the more valuable the message it carries for us, no matter in a positive or negative aspect.

Therefore, I suggest you start by writing down your dreams, but only those that carry an important meaning for you, determining this by your emotions.

Key points in dream analysis

What is the main thing in dream timing? Of course, objects as symbols. Usually there are several main objects that have special meaning for us, that is, they carry the main semantic load. They are the ones that symbolize something very significant, and it is they that we must decipher if we want to understand what our vision means.

On the road through the world of dreams, these symbols are like road signs that warn and inform about important things.

How to identify the main ones? Just as we identify the most vivid dream from several - by the intensity of emotions. The more emotions associated with a particular object in a dream, the more important it is.

An intuitive method for solving dreams

I called this method intuitive because it involves turning to your subconscious without any logical analysis. It is convenient because it allows you to unravel the meaning of a dream that does not have a specific plot. For example, you did not remember the entire dream, but at the same time you still remember one moment from it - an event, an image.

Usually what is remembered is the most vivid, and, most likely, the most important. And here we can also get quite a lot of information.

So, the essence is that we simply enter into a dialogue with the objects of the dream. To do this, you need to retire, sit comfortably, close your eyes, remember and imagine the object or creature from the dream. And then ask him: “What do you symbolize? What do you want to tell me?

Next, you just need to wait and the object will answer you. Answers come to me in the form of a thought that arises after the question. Sometimes this can be in the form of a picture. It may not work right away, but if you practice this method, you will soon be able to get answers to your questions within a few seconds.

Sometimes talking with symbolic objects is enough to understand what the dream is about and how it relates to our life. By the way, this method is especially useful if you have a nightmare. Usually it contains people or creatures that haunt and frighten. It’s good to talk to them and ask them questions.

In most cases, they are our subpersonalities, i.e. parts of our psyche that we do not accept in ourselves for one reason or another.

These could be, for example, negative emotions such as anger or fear. We suppress these into the subconscious, but they don’t go away. We simply cease to be aware of them, and because of this it becomes impossible to control them. In a dream, the protective reactions of the psyche weaken, and the hidden breaks out in the form of such frightening creatures.

However, in the process of talking with them, it often turns out that they just... want to help us. The monsters we feared appear to be completely harmless and even cute creatures.

Conversing with them allows you to find contact with the lost or suppressed part of yourself, realize it, and re-accept it, thus restoring your integrity.

The situation in your sleep is also of great importance. Is this a street or a room? What is the weather like - snowstorm, rain or sunshine?

Symbols

I will give a small list of interpretations. They will give you a general idea and points to pay attention to. However, you should still rely more on your intuition.

• A house, a room - reflect the inner world and values ​​of a person. If your home is cluttered and chaotic, your thoughts may also be in turmoil right now.
• The bathroom symbolizes cleansing.
• Hall, living room - heart and soul.
• Weather - mood. Sunny weather - positive attitude, joy, happiness. Rain - sadness, sadness. Cold, frost, snow - emotional blocks, “frozen” feelings.
• Nature is harmony. If you dream that you are close to nature, relaxing in nature, then this means inner balance.
• Transport reflects your unconscious tendencies. If you dream that you are traveling on public transport, then this may mean that you are in a dependent position. If this is personal transport, for example, a bicycle, then this means control over your life.

• The animal world is often our unconscious, instinctive aspirations. Seeing birds in a dream means higher aspirations, spirituality. Land animals have lower needs and desires, often suppressed. Pisces is the unconscious, mysticism, the sensual sphere.
• Elements. I have written several posts on this topic, you can read the article in more detail - this will help you better understand their role in your dream.
• Fire represents creativity, emotions, as well as lack of control, aggression, and revenge.
• Water - feelings, imagination, purification. If something holds back the water, does not allow it to flow - emotional clamps.
• Earth - support, stability, instincts, fertility.
• Air is the very breath of life, Spirit. If something restricts the flow of air (for example, when you dream of suffocation), then this means a severe lack of vital energy, an attack on your space, psychological territory.
• People usually symbolize certain qualities. The people you know may reflect qualities that you like and admire. They can also be used to judge your relationship with this person. Strangers are often your subpersonalities, qualities unknown to you, sometimes suppressed or hidden aspects of your personality.

• A person’s gender reflects either the feminine energy of yin (gentleness, tolerance), or the male energy of yang (activity, creativity)
• People from the past can indicate forgotten dreams and desires, and by the age at which you communicated with this person, you can determine the moment the problem arose.
