Dream Analysis: Find the meaning of your dreams

A great deal of research and discussion has been done over the years on the subject of dream analysis.  Psychologists such as Jung, Freud and others have presented their viewpoints on dream meaning and pop culture has adopted some of the terminology and added refinements to the concepts presented in psychological tomes. Typical scientific viewpoint is that dreams represent resolution of problems or expression of fears in the individual.  Metaphysical and new age viewpoints would add the concept that dream meaning will include foretelling the future path the individual is likely to take.

 

Dreams are natural events that can make your future known to you.  By dream analysis of your nighttime visions, you will be able to determine the life aspects that will follow your life path. The dream as a reflection of what is happening in your life will tell the skilled psychic or dream meaning analyst where you are and where you should be going.

 

Dream analysis is the method of finding the meaning associated with a dream.  In ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as other ancient culture, dreaming was assumed to be a method of communication from the gods or direct intervention from above.  The message to be learned though, could only be decoded by those with particular power to analyze and translate dream meaning.  The Greek culture carried sick people to temples known as Asclepieions where it was believed they would be cured by the special dreams they dreamed within the temples.  Greeks also felt that dreams were omens or foretold the future if they could but decipher the dream meaning.

 

The prophets and priest of ancient Egypt were carried out dream analysis as part of their duties.  In the Bible, both Daniel and Joseph are noted as presenting dream meaning to the rulers of their day. The Western world noted major works on dream analysis as early as the second century.  By the ninth century, a clear distinction between dream analysis and the causes of dreams appeared in al-Farabi s work Alpharabius.

 

Dream meaning was included commonly for those undergoing psychoanalysis by the end of the 1900s.  The premier work on the subject is Freud s The Interpretation of Dreams. was brought to the forefront through the efforts of Ann Faraday and others who worked at do-it-yourself dream analysis.  There were even groups formed to analyze the dreams of each other. Dream meanings were separated into major types such as omens of something about to happen, a type of something that has happened, or a warning that something should happen.

 

Common belief is that most dream analysis can be limited to the events occurring in the previous few days. Contemporary and New Age culture has a slightly different take on dream meaning.  Cayce, for example wrote that answers to all life s questions can be found by studying the messages of one s own spirit as revealed in dream analysis.

 

If you work with an experienced psychic who understands and specializes in dream analysis, you will be able to obtain much insight into dream meaning.  You can thus obtain answers based on your own knowledge and understanding.
