Do dreams have meaning?

I have often dreamed strange things, including a lot of nonsense, but there are a few dreams that I am afraid will become real. Do dreams have a meaning or are dreams just dreams? (I once dreamed that my boyfriend was cheating on me. I used to get cheated on a lot.)

or that my sister wins the lottery or something like that or just pure fantasy

Hello,

Dreams are a reflection of our subconscious and thus reveal our own feelings and past experiences. Dreams cannot predict the future. When dreams come true, it's usually only because we subconsciously had a certain premonition or by chance.

In particular, feelings that are currently occupying one's mind or that one has experienced in the previous days are processed in dreams. Dreams are often heavily censored by symbolic language, which often makes them appear arbitrary and abstract. However, this is a chain of associations and expectations that form the dream. If one can understand this symbolic language (i.e., trace the associations), one can also discover why the dream arose.

Best regards! 🙂

Dear dreamer!

Dreams represent messages from the unconscious that communicate about your inner situation, but they need to be interpreted. To do this, please immerse yourself in the plot of your dream and look for an emotionally appropriate title, perhaps a poetic one, like poets do with their plays.

The next step is about the individual symbols of your dream.

Please create short character portraits of well-known people that highlight their strengths and weaknesses (not necessarily publicly). This will help me begin to form a picture of them, but more importantly, you should bring these aspects to your own attention.

For the non-personal symbols, you should describe how each one works and what its purpose or usefulness is. Whether your ideas are scientifically correct or not is irrelevant. Under no circumstances should you look them up in an encyclopedia (Google, etc.); they only contain other people's ideas…

An example to illustrate the method of free association :

A boy dreamed he was being examined by a doctor . The doctor discovered that an organ was crooked and needed surgery . He then sent him upstairs to have his nose examined by three other doctors. They discovered polyps , which needed to be operated on first.

This dream has 5 symbols that the boy described as follows:

Doctors : have health models that allow them to detect diseases.

…………………. Health : Natural state

Organ : A body part that is needed to live.

………. Body : A part of the soul, which also has a mind.

……… Mind : The part of the soul that distinguishes between health and illness.

operate : to perform operations.

Nose : for breathing and smelling

…………. Air : a vital substance.

…………. Smell : Check the quality of the food.

Polyps : Block the nose.

As you can see, as you describe the original five symbols, new ones emerge that also need to be defined and described. The more free associations , the better… The boy titled his dream "Unpleasant Surprise ."

Do you have any questions about this scheme? Feel free to forward them if you have any.

I look forward to your preparations!

Sincerely,

No.

Dreams are foam. Why did people coin this saying?

From experience I can say: They certainly can.

That doesn't mean they have to be that way, but most of the time you dream about things that occupy your subconscious and that you perhaps don't think about as much in everyday life.

So I would ask myself where the dreams could come from, just write them down or something.

Usually helps (at least for me)
