Many people ask me why I can't understand my dreams. Quite simply, dreams are a subconscious language that consciousness cannot understand. Dreams need to be translated.
Let's look at the composition of dreams and how to translate them.
Objects, animals or people appearing in dreams are collectively called intentions, and a dream is composed of intentions. For example, in the following dream "I dreamed that a snake was chasing me", the snake here is a simple intention. It should be noted that intention is not simply linked with reality, and intention usually has its special significance.
For example, the snake above represents a collection of repression, which may be the repression that people give to dreamers or a thing. Intention translation is often understood through its connotation and feelings, such as snakes, which requires us to think about what kind of creatures snakes are. How does it feel? Similar to an explanation, we can describe this intention objectively in our dreams. For example, we can say that snakes are cold-blooded animals, and their surfaces are smooth and poisonous. Then the snake's explanation in the dream is: people who are harmful to themselves, or things that are not so good will cause danger to themselves. Sometimes there will be a second translation, for example, snakes are poisonous, and poison represents danger, depending on the manuscript fee, until the translation finally becomes a feeling.
To give a few simple examples: books generally represent knowledge, blood generally represents injury, jade generally represents beautiful quality, and cats generally represent women who like cats (animal intentions generally represent people with this trait). Attach a typical dream example (put down your rice and chopsticks, you should have your own life)
However, this intention is not arbitrary, otherwise what is the difference between it and Duke Zhou? Intention is divided into general intention and special intention. Most people's dreams have the same meaning, which is called general intention. This has something to do with human cognition. For example, most people think snakes are terrible and poisonous, so the snakes here are called Cosmic Meaning. However, if there is a snake tribe that takes snakes as chips, then the snake in their dreams is a symbol of wealth, called special intention.
Different people often have different understandings of the same object, so when looking at the intention in the dream, it should conform to the dreamer's understanding. At the same time, intention is related to cultural history and social symbols, and it is common that the same intention represents different meanings in different cultures.
Since intention is the word that constitutes a dream, behavior is the lead that runs through all intentions and connects the whole dream.
In fact, the behavior is also very simple. The behavior reflects the relationship between various intentions, such as "dreaming that a cat broke my beautiful glasses". Breaking here is an act, representing damage or loss. The whole translation is "the dreamer lost something he liked very much because of a woman". The cat here may represent a woman, while the beautiful glass represents something that the dreamer likes very much but is very fragile. It should be noted that the glass here does not necessarily represent the real thing, but it may mean that your blx is broken. What do you need to contact the dreamer or ask the dreamer?
Some common behaviors
Being chased: Being chased is very common. It is an act when you feel fear and fear. The dreamer strongly hopes to get out of danger. Please be afraid. If you dream of being chased, you should think about what makes you afraid, that is, what is chasing you. Knowing this will solve more than half of my dreams.
Exam: Exam dreams are also common, especially for those of us who have experienced the devil's exam-oriented education. Dreaming about an exam often represents a kind of anxiety, which means that you are experiencing an exam, a kind of worry that your task is undecided and you are afraid that you will not succeed. I wrote a dream about the exam dream. Interested students click here (dream back to the classroom, not that you miss your alma mater! )。
Tooth loosening or falling off: Tooth dreams are very common, and teeth represent an extremely solid thing, a firm belief or deep feelings. When you have this dream, you must first rule out the physiological factors. It's probably because there is something really wrong with your teeth that you didn't notice during the day. Dreams remind you. Then losing your teeth means loosening your faith or shaking your feelings. Remember not to daub at will. Here is a dream about teeth (common dream: loose teeth)
Associating intention with behavior may explain most dreams, but intention and behavior usually represent many meanings. What does this dream mean? This should be judged by feeling.
Feeling is the soul of dreams. The core of dreams is feeling. Take the exam as an example. If you feel relaxed and happy during the exam and the questions are done quickly, you feel particularly happy. So does the exam here still represent anxiety? I'm afraid not. At this time, the exam represents a happy experience and expresses the pleasure of easily completing the exam.
Quite simply, feelings can easily dominate the theme of dreams. Happy and unhappy, depressed and comfortable, depressed and released, it can be said that feelings always affect dreams.
Usually, the dreamer can know the emotional feelings in the dream, but a few dreams can't. It's not necessarily that the dreamer doesn't know. It may be that the subconscious has hidden itself, as if wearing a veil makes people unpredictable. If the dreamer is not sure about his feelings, he loses an opportunity to prove whether the dream interpretation is correct or not.
Through feeling, we can easily judge the meaning of intention and emotion, and make dream interpretation more accurate and in-depth. At the same time, understanding the feelings in dreams is also an important way to interpret dreams. It is also possible to interpret dreams completely with feelings, provided that the intention and behavior are transformed into feelings, so that a stable empathy can be established between yourself and the dreamer, and the dream can be easily interpreted if the dreamer's feelings are fully felt. But it should be noted that people who don't use it have different feelings about the intention of not using it. For example, if she likes rainy days and you hate rainy days, then she dreams of rainy days and can't understand this dream with your feelings.
You will know a lot through this dream example (a dreamer knows a simple way to interpret dreams: feel the emotions in the dream)
If feeling is the soul of a dream, then demand and depression are the skeleton of the dream, supporting the whole dream.
Demand and depression string all the feelings in the dream together, making the whole dream look lifelike and even realizing the subtlety of the subconscious.
What is demand and repression? They are like two little people in your mind, just little people, evil little people. They always appear when you are thinking, and there will always be struggles. The same is true in dreams. If you want to relax, someone will always stop you. If you want to eat a piece of cake, someone will call you fat, which is the same as evil and angel villain in reality.
There is a lot of demand and depression in the dream, usually after the demand is over, the depression begins. Freud said, "Dreams are the fulfillment of desires". If the needs in the dream are not met, depression will definitely appear, and even nightmares will occur.
In order to understand the needs and repression of dreams, it is not simply the superficial needs and repression of dreams. It is more necessary to understand the deep-seated needs. For example, the dreamer dreams of reading a book, which is not a superficial need to acquire knowledge. More importantly, why do dreamers acquire knowledge through dreams? What does it mean for a dreamer to acquire knowledge? This is the real demand.
Sometimes you can't find demand, so try to find depression. For example, "A cat broke my favorite glass". There seems to be no demand here, but there is repression. Need and depression are two things. Tell it to the judge. The depression here is "the beloved cup is broken", so the demand is "I don't want the beloved cup to be broken". You see, it's simple.
The most important thing about demand and repression is that there is no need for intention or behavior. He can feel it directly from his dreams. Knowing the needs and depression in the dream is equivalent to knowing the central idea of the dream, and no matter how it is solved, it can't be wrong. (If you want to find the right needs and repression) To get a dream, it is completely correct to analyze the needs and repression first.
After writing so much, how can we use the above story to see a complete dream?
Experienced people can find the "breakthrough point" first. The so-called "breakthrough point" is to find an intention or behavior that can clearly know the meaning and implement it through this intention and behavior.
Beginners often can't find the starting point because they are not sure about anything. At this time, they can try to find the needs and depression first, and understand what this dream is about first. If it is not a particularly long dream, they can all see it. After finding the demand and suppressing the theme of dream interpretation, we can try to fill in the intentional meaning in the dream, connect it with behavior, expand the dream, and make the theme of the dream clearer and self-evident.
It can be said that a dream is almost solved here. It's a little difficult for beginners. Interpretation of dreams is a subconscious language translation. Different angles have different translation results, but they all achieve the same goal. A new perspective provides new insights, but it needs the confirmation of the dreamer. What we can do is to guide the dreamer to examine his own heart, get familiar with the emotional feelings in the dream, and help the dreamer interpret his dream.
