The number one question we get asked at Electric Dreams is "What does my dream mean?" We feel the answer is that there are many things that your dream means, and some are very profound and moving, while others may be simple and or humorous and funny.
So, what does this tell me about *my* dream? Nothing, really, except that you are about to enter the wonderful, magical and fascinating World of Dreamwork and Dream Sharing where you *can* find the answer to your questions. And you can do this without years of psychotherapy on one hand, or just looking up what others have to say on the other. Free!
You ~could~ look the answer up in a dream symbol dictionary. But we have found this leaves most people quite dissatisfied. Why? Well, who ~wrote~ the dream dictionary? Someone that knows or someone that is guessing? Hopefully they are trying to be helpful and give you ways of translating your dream that are useful, but usually its just someone *making up* fairly random meanings. The worst ones will say something like "A Yellow Flower means you are going to become pregnant." and are pretty much like fortune cookies. The better ones will change your dream symbols into something more useful, like "A Flower is something that blossoms, so look in your life for something that is about to blossom."
But heck, you can do this game yourself, right?
Dream: "I drive my blue car to Fred's house get a cold drink out of his refrigerator."
Just change everything in the dream to its function. A car = a vehicle to get places, a Refrigerator = someplace to keep things cool, Blue Color = sadness or like the sky, expansiveness or water, a friend = whatever they are know for (friendly, clever, easy to get along with). Now change all these to be part of YOUR personality:
"In my dream I an in a sad vehicle that gets me to a friendly place where I take something inside me to cool off"
Then ask yourself, "Does this ring a bell, does this relate to my life? Do I need to get to a friendly place and cool off? " If you do, then you have opened the door the to first level of your dream. If not, redo the dream again until you do get an "Ah Ha" feeling about the meaning.
Now if you still want to see what other's think about making images into symbols, that's fine. We learn through modeling as well as pushing our own creative limits.
