Your Dream Is Telling You Something...

Dreams come in many shapes and sizes, some vague, some detailed, some frightening, some inspiring. They
all contain encoded messages aimed at improving your life. Here are some tips for working with dream
formats you might encounter:

Vague impression: Try meditating and receiving any subtle feelings about the impression. Note related thoughts, moods, and sensations in your body. Follow a sensation to a feeling, to a memory or association, to an insight.

Single symbol or dream fragment: Try merging into the single image and speak as the symbol, or dialogue with it.

Story: Try breaking the story into scenes, and look for the main lesson or message in each piece by asking trigger questions about the elements and analyzing the symbols. Then put it all back together and see how the whole thing is about your current growth process. Look for insights about where the process wants to go.

Recurring, incomplete: With recurring dreams, especially scary ones, there is a subconscious block that needs to be faced. When a dream is interrupted or feels incomplete, try redreaming it in a meditation and take it to a new conclusion.

Sequential: When a dream is part of a series where information is revealed over time, treat the separate dreams as scenes in a longer story dream.

Stream of consciousness: When the dream contains a long string of images, look for the relationships between the symbols to find a process that relates to your personal growth.
