Common Dream interpretations including the interpretation of recurring and familiar dreams. How to interpret recurring dreams and repeating nightmares by psychic author Craig Hamilton-Parker.
There
are no limits to the human mind's ability to generate
an infinite abundance of dreams but amongst this mass
of imagery are a few common dreams that
happen to almost everybody. Have you ever dreamed of
falling, being chased or dreamed of losing your teeth?
Most people have. Common Dreams like this
are part of shared human experience that cross the cultural
divides. Common Dreams remind us perhaps
that we are there is only one race- the race of humanity.
Dreams we all have in common are, say some psychologists,
humankind's spiritual heritage and connect us through
myth and symbolism to the thoughts and feelings of our
primitive ancestors. TheseCommon Dreamsreoccur throughout history and in all societies.
For example, someone from a tribal society in Brazil
or Africa may have a common dream of being
stalked by a wild animal whereas the common dream
of a person from London, LA. or Tokyo will express the
same sentiments by being shadowed by a mugger. The core
issue of the dream- the fear of being attacked- is the
same but is expressed in the cultural imagery of each
dreamer.
YOUR COMMON DREAMS
You may recognise one of your own dreams from the past
in the website's Common Dream
sections. If you've had one of these dreams think about
it for a while before you look up the meaning. Try also
to recall the problems you were facing at that time.
What sort of worries did you have? Were you concerned
about money, love, self-esteem or whatever?
COMMON DREAM MEANING
Now look up the meaning
and see just how much of the interpretation applied
to you at that time. At the end of each Common Dream
entry are a series of simple questions that you may
want to ask yourself about the dream. Learning to ask
the right questions about your common dream is half
the battle. You may want to apply some of the same questions
to other common dreams that you have. In many cases,
my interpretations may be way off the mark when applied
to your own dream. But it's your interpretation that
counts for most. Treat this website as a useful guide
but also trust your own gut feeling. One of the most
important lessons that dreams teach us is to listen
to the intuition.
COMMON DREAM QUESTIONS
Here are a few additional questions you can ask
about your common dream:
Who are the people in my dream?
In most cases, the people you meet in a common dream
represent aspects of yourself. Consider what aspect
of your own personality they represent. Some dreams
are also of course about your relationships with the
actual people from real life. People, particularly strangers,
may also represent aspects of yourself that you are
unaware of. Similarly, animals may represent aspects
of your instinctive nature.
What is the mood of the dream?
The overall mood of the dream is important because this
represents how you feel about the problem that the common
dream is drawing to your attention. In addition,
the state of the weather, the season and the temperature
can all represent your emotional state of mind.
What symbols does my dream contain?
You can of course look up the symbols in this book but
remember to consider what personal associations you
have with the items you encounter in your common dreams.
Gestalt psychology insists that your dreams are about
you and you alone. See every part of your dream as a
part of yourself or some aspect of your personality.
Remember that many symbols are unique to you.
What does the setting say about
me? The dream environment you find yourself in
may represent the way you feel about yourself or your
situation.
Does this dream remind me of
another one? Common Dreams often run in
sequences so you may already have worked out the meaning
of some symbols before. If you keep a dream diary over
many years you will be intrigued to note that some dreams
take up a theme from dreams you had years ago.
