Dreams Are They Good Or Bad?

"It's been said that dreams are the gateway to the subconscious. They're a window into our beliefs, desires and fears."

What are your dreams? What do they mean to you?Are they good or bad? These questions have no definite answers, but can help you understand what your dreams mean to you. The best thing about exploring this topic is that there is no wrong answer. There is only one truth: Your dreams reflect how much power you give them and your interpretations of them . So if something was unsettling about your recent dream then try interpreting it differently for the next time around, and see what changes happen for you.

There are a number of ways to interpret and understand your dreams, but for the sake of clarity we'll use one of the most popular methods that has been used for years. There is no single correct way to analyze them, since there are many different methods and schools of thought on the subject; however there are some common threads that can help us in our quest. So let's get started.

Firstly, it is important to remember that dreams do not always accurately reflect reality. They often reflect something within ourselves, but not always consciously so. But most importantly they reflect our unconscious ideas , thoughts and feelings in their purest form and this is where we should start our journey through dream analysis.

Once you begin to analyze your dreams you will notice that there are very few directly related to what is happening in the waking world. Instead there are mostly patterns of your personal life experiences and beliefs. This may be difficult to comprehend at first, but it makes a lot of sense once we start looking at the wider picture of things.

Dreams are like snapshots from our lives that have been re-arranged in a way that we can't consciously recall . We know them as though they were memories, but in reality they are representations of our unconscious beliefs and thoughts which we can recognize only when interpreting them differently than before.

A good analogy is to imagine your dream like a movie, in which everything happens just as it does in real life. It has the same events, the same characters and even recreates the environment around you. But it also contains every single sequence of images that happen in reality and when you're watching your dream from outside you're only seeing each sequence from one point of view after another.

It's hard to believe that this could be true until we experience it, but we can try to clarify things by breaking down a few common elements that are found frequently in most dreams. For instance there are often stairs that you have to climb in dreams. Some say that because it's very difficult to climb stairs in reality, our subconscious mind takes this experience and turns it into a dream, so if we keep this in mind, we could interpret the dream very differently.

For instance, let's say you had a dream about having a fight with someone. You were upset about it and took it quite seriously, but when thinking about this later on you realize that the whole thing was absurd and bizarre; perhaps something from another reality all together. This may seem confusing but let's keep going. When looking at things from this perspective you may notice that the only thing that is the same in both scenarios are the stairs, since they are a reminder of how hard it is to climb them in reality.

The dream then would be a way to reflect and show us how hard it is for us to overcome obstacles which we do not think we can easily do, as opposed to overcoming them in reality and moving on with our lives. The stairs metaphorically could represent any type of obstacle that we cannot overcome easily, whether it be something from our past or an issue from the present.

For instance we could interpret a dream about a friend who is acting strangely as a way to illustrate that we are not treating something in our life seriously enough. We often take things too lightly and forget that they could be something of extreme importance.

This is not to say that dreams don't have practical value, but rather that they can be interpreted in many different ways and each person will see them in a different way when narrated by their own life experiences and beliefs. The meaning can change with the perspective you take on it, so it's important to actively seek out many different perspectives before making your final conclusion on them.

Try to break down your dreams into their constituent parts and look at them from various perspectives. Try to look at the meaning of each element in the dream individually and compare it to other elements. Try to avoid looking at your explanations as absolute or solely yours.

When you're doing this you may find a pattern emerge as to what it was trying to tell you. This is simply a way that your subconscious mind can find patterns which are similar when put together and help you understand what they mean. Again don't let this necessarily limit your interpretation, but it could help you understand the dream in new ways when taken in the right context.

A common theme that is often found in dreams is that of controlling someone, or trying to control them. This may take many different forms, but if you follow the logic then you may be able to realize what it means for you after some time.

For instance, in a dream about controlling someone could symbolize that we are trying to exert control over others in our waking life and are afraid of being controlled by others. The control may be something from your past that is still impacting your current reality, as well as some other subconscious power structures within yourself which can also relate to this.

This is just one example, but there are many others that can be interpreted in many different ways depending on what your life experiences are. You can start by looking at the dream as a whole and breaking it down into elements, then you analyze each element individually, look for patterns and then reflect on how they apply to your life.

After doing this multiple times you will begin to see how everything relates to who you are and how you fit within the world around you. After a while dreams will start to mean something more concrete and powerful than they ever did before. You will begin to experience them as tools which can help guide your life without needing any outside help from anyone else.

If you put the work in, you will realize that a dream can be an adventure unto itself, where everything you thought was true changes dramatically after you reach the end. Once you reach the end, the possibilities become endless. You can create anything and believe anything and your dreams will become so much more powerful as a result.

Sometimes it's hard to see what's going on around us when we're in them, but our dreams can help us navigate through life in ways that are just as effective as our waking reality. The problem is that most of us aren't actively aware of this until we start making the connections between each element and how it relates to our lives outside of them.

Conclusion

Dreams are a common phenomenon which everyone can relate to. They are a way for us to escape the mundane aspects of our life, so it's natural for them to be something that we look down upon. The problem is that when we do this we limit ourselves in various ways, and really have no idea what is going on with ourselves when it comes down to our subconscious mind.

In order for us to come to terms with our dreams and implement new ideas about them, we have to understand the fact that they are more than just random images. They are metaphors for things happening in our lives and reflections on who we are as individuals.
