Dreaming about the exam? Being hunted? Falling from the sky? Flying? Quarrel with your ex? Surprisingly, sometimes you know this is a dream, but it often feels very real, just like it happened in reality.
If you search for "Duke of Zhou", you will see these contents: dreaming of talking to the dead means being famous all over the world. Dreaming of being chased indicates good luck. But these non-psychological explanations of dreams won't really help you.
So what is a dream? We spend a third of our lives in sleep. What do those sweet dreams or nightmares, happy dreams or sad dreams, prophetic dreams or telepathic dreams tell you?
Freud told us, "Dreams are the fulfillment of wishes."
1. Those who are repressed by you will talk to you in their dreams.
Our thoughts are like an iceberg. Only one seventh of the iceberg floats on the water. A conscious mind, like a floating part, can only show the surface of your complex psychology.
When some of your thoughts or memories are too painful for your consciousness to resist, you will suppress them and drive them to the underwater subconscious.
These subconscious minds, which are suppressed in your heart, will enter your conscious level and talk to you through disguise and distortion. -that is, "dream".
Dreams can take you into the depths of the subconscious, see your inner world clearly, and understand your inner depression, anxiety, lack and desire.
2. When you can read the language of dreams, learn to be yourself.
All dreams are meaningful. If you don't know how to communicate with dreams, you can only communicate through the information conveyed by dreams.
And when you read the language of dreams, you can use your inner "counselor" to heal yourself and help the people around you.
According to Freud's analysis, we believe that the source of dreams is mainly divided into the following four types:
1. A significant event happened to you recently, which was directly reflected in your dream.
When you are about to make a promotion report at work, you are likely to dream about competitions, exams, grading, speeches and other scenes.
A few meaningful things that happened to you recently are condensed into a whole in your dream.
Recently, I am often praised by my boss, colleagues or partners, and I am very happy. In your dream, you may turn these praises into a whole: in the spotlight of the whole audience, you step onto the podium and receive a huge trophy. This big trophy symbolizes the affirmation of your colleagues and partners.
3. One or more meaningful things are represented by an insignificant impression that happened at the same time in your dream.
There is a single boy who wants to find a girlfriend. He ran into his former high school classmates and found that he had become very beautiful after being away for many years. That boy thought it was good to establish a relationship with his classmate, and then he ran into this classmate several times.
In the dream, the boy returned to his high school life. He and this classmate are deskmates, and they go to school to do their homework after school. On the surface, learning is more important and urgent for him than pursuing a girl, but in fact, in his dream, he presents it by learning something that seems insignificant compared with love. The classmate relationship presented is that he essentially wants to establish a love relationship with his classmates. That is, in a dream, one or more meaningful things are revealed through seemingly unimportant impressions.
4. An experience that is meaningful to you is manifested in a dream as another recent but unrelated impression.
A girl in her twenties, her mother always praises her in front of outsiders, but seldom praises her in front of her. Later, this girl was admitted to the graduate school. Her mother was very happy and praised her in front of her. So she dreamed that she was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and studying in the class. During the self-study class, she successfully completed a test paper and felt very happy. Then she did the second test paper.
This is because her mother seldom praised her for many years, which made her feel important. Why is this happiness and pleasure reflected in dreams? Because the recent postgraduate entrance examination is to do papers, although this impression is not directly related to my mother's praise for her, it is indirectly related: completing the papers is also a sense of accomplishment.
There is something hidden in this dream. She felt a little uncertain about the sense of accomplishment gained by her mother's praise.
3. How to do self-exploration or psychotherapy through dream interpretation?
According to a survey by Professor Hu Xinxun of Cambridge University, 70% of professors said that their research was inspired by dreams. A survey by Francois of the University of Geneva, Switzerland: 69 mathematicians, of whom 5 1 think that dreams help solve problems; Duke University in England has set up a research course to help listeners learn how to use dreams effectively. Some scientists even said humorously, "Teachers, go to bed with the problems to be solved!" " "
Freud introduced the study of dreams into psychoanalytic therapy summary, trying to explore the real inner world of visitors through grasping dreams, so as to solve their troubles.
From the psychological point of view, "dream interpretation" is a means of psychological consultation, which helps people understand their own hearts by interpreting the subconscious appearance of the dreamer.
Then, if you have no psychological background and are interested in dream interpretation, can you learn how to interpret dreams? The answer is yes. Everyone can learn psychological techniques, but without the guidance of professional psychological counselors, it is difficult for psychologists to master the skills of dream interpretation.
If you know some basic dream interpretation methods, you will find that no matter what dreams you have, they are closely related to your life and inner world.
For example, if you dream that you are in the ice and snow, it is probably because you put your feet out of the quilt and your body tells you that you feel cold through dreams;
When I dreamed that I was being chased, I clearly had a knife in my hand, but I didn't have time to fight back. I'm just hiding around. This dream reflects your portrayal in real life. Maybe it's because you are under pressure from someone, and you have the ability to resist, but for various reasons, you have to try to avoid it;
Dreaming of lost relatives, standing at your door and knocking at the door, you are afraid that ta will disappear, but you can't open the door. Then you can think back, what happened before and after you separated from this beloved person? Did you miss meeting the person you love? In other words, you have a lot of regrets in your heart, but you can't see your deceased relatives.
I've always dreamed of climbing stairs, but I'll never get to the end. Think about it, what does climbing stairs symbolize? It symbolizes that you are going up and represents "progress". How does it feel to never reach the finish line? Maybe you will be anxious, maybe you will feel tired. Well, this shows that in real life, you have a goal you want to achieve, but you don't know when it will be achieved.
These emotions are buried in the subconscious and become the language of dreams.
And dream interpretation is an excellent process to understand your emotions and heal yourself through dreams.
