Dream Experiences

I’ve been having the same odd dream for the past couple times while having really odd predicaments in real life. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about self>dream interpretation or anything that could be helpful? I’ve already tried the dream dictionary and got some ideas, but I’m kind of curious. Any help? Thanks.

First of all, "dream dictionaries" are worthless. Dream interpretation is extremely personal. It’s all about what certain situations mean to you personally. For instance, if someone dreams of dogs, there can be several interpretations:
1. If they love dogs, they might be expressing a warm, fuzzy satisfaction with life in general.
2. If they’re scared of dogs, the dream might indicate that they feel very threatened by a situation in their real life.
3. If they’re animal activists, they might feel vulnerable.

Dreams are just your subconscious expressing what’s going on in your real life, using simple "pictures" as metaphors.
The fact that you state that you’re facing odd predicaments in real life says, to me, that you’re trying to sort them out using dreams. Are your dreams scary, just weird, empowering? Whatever is featured in your dreams, isolate it, and ask yourself how you feel about it, such as the dogs mentioned in my example above. Is the central figure someting you love? Something you feel threatened by or scared of? What is happening with this central figure? Is it in danger? Is it, instead, dangerous? Is it helpful, loving, etc.? You get the idea.
As you can see, dreams are very specific to *your* brain. A generic book won’t help at all. Just take some time, and think it through. When your interpretation feels right, when it "clicks", you’ll know you’ve got it!
