We all are interested in dreams and used to interpret those by our own common sense. Even who is able to interpret the dream we like to meet and want to know that what our dreams are telling.

Dream interpreters are part of eastern and western societies since ages and forecasting is also connected with its interpretation.

Four possibilities

There are four possibilities of a dream... If the narrator has given what was there precisely ... At the same time there is a possibility of adding some thing out of dream also. Some time the person adds some thing unknowingly which was not part of the actual dream. It is also possible that the dreamer is seeing the dream and at the same time intervenes in the dream with personal suggestion also. This is really happening because some persons have such kind of internal process in which unknowingly s/he can imposes desires, thoughts or think to do so! That's why when such persons are telling their dreams they can add their imposing things inside the dream and so the dream interpreter is not getting the dream itself. This affects the interpretation also.

Well, what ever is there but if a dream is told, and then one can see it with four possibilities.... I am putting here those, considering general elements only.

First Possibility

First, as per psychology any dream is a reflection of what ever seen, thought, read, as well as what ever images entered during watching, going, doing, coming and the reactions we have got or suppressed etc., etc. The reality comes through variety of mental impressions. These impressions are differs in each individuals because of individual references.

Let us take one example, one individual's fear reflection comes out in a dream with a barking dog and another person's fear reflection comes through just roaring tiger!

Second Possibility

Second, as per our emotional being we always and ever moment feeling some thing. What ever we felt regarding basic instinct, different kind of emotions, expressed or unexpressed things, as well as images regarding and related with those things are stored inside us and reflects through dreams. Some time our vital world takes part in this kind of dreams! So many people have got fear full effects in dreams and suddenly awake with fear. These are the dreams with reality of unconscious waves from our emotional being...

Let us remember here that our social and ethical perceptions are also connected with our mind and emotions as per our cultural background and what ever we have grasped from our surroundings!

Third Possibility

Third possibility is as per our spiritual being... Some kind of formations comes to the person in a story form or in a form of changing visuals or some visuals are merging in each other and creating some thing new or odd like kaleidoscope images, or indicating some thing through symbolic expressions/ visuals: This is related with our deep consciousness. One very peculiar thing related with these kinds of dreams is comprehension...

This comprehension makes this kind of dreams more meaningful regarding manifestation of things which are not yet happen! Mostly surreal world... stream of deep consciousness!

Forth Possibility

The forth possibility has highly intuitive and soul based expressions, passing and providing some kind of inner peace, message, intuitive glimpses etc.. But to interpret these dreams are not always possible because of its vulnerability...

Even drops of these intuitive things are some time filled a little places in above mentioned other type of dreams! These dreams are some times one can see with open eyes as happening like images are coming and providing some thing important to enhance and then disappearing and so on...

Well interpreters mostly try to find out things which are commonly clear and indicate things by it. They knew that mostly dreams have more than two possibilities: The complexity human beings are holding with them is part of dream world too!

One Case Study

Here is one dream and let us see how one can interpret it. This dream was told by one of my student:

Suddenly I found myself searching some thing in my room and continuously opening drawers and cupboards... Meanwhile in between I come across to one mirror and just looked at my face in the mirror, then moved to search again. This was going on but I was unable to find the thing for what I was searching... So I opened the door of the room and found me on the road...

Midnight was there, street lights were on, few cars and scooters were going on the way. But the darkness was hiding the things as usual. I heard the sound of sea waves. My legs just went towards the sound and after few seconds I was on the sea shore, under the moonlight.. I removed my shoes and just prefer to walk on sand. Sand was wet so I felt nice to walk on...

Suddenly I saw that the deer in the moon is becoming clear and clear. His skin, eyes, legs were so clear ... so clear... I just uttered, "Wow" and the deer started to run quickly and within moments disappeared. One kind of sense of fear I felt at that time, I remember clearly though sleeping... But some one was pulling my hand to go ahead. I turned to see the person but it was a shadow like image...

"Who are you and why pulling my hand?" I asked with a mixed sense of surprise and little anger.

"Don't you recognize me? I am your shadow, I don't like to walk and see and feel the things here... Let's go to home!" He told and I found that yes he was my shadow; standing there, very nearer, almost rooted in me. But I replied, "Look, you are my shadow, so follow me! Don't say me to follow you, understood?"

"Well, then I am leaving you and going home, you do what ever you like." He said and departed by stretching him away from me and I saw that he was almost running ...

I also went behind him. It was not easy to run on sand. After few running moments I saw that my shadow is now near to the road and still the vehicles were going here and there. I shouted, ‘take care, you are approaching road!'

But happened was happened and I woke up with words: oh no!

The dream was over...

Well, this dream has a few noticeable things which are told by the narrator: He hardly remembered any dream before he did Reiki Degree 2 course. And after doing the course when passing through the practice days he was seeing dreams and was able to remember that he had dreams during night. But then this dream was there, which was completely remembered by him. It was the last day of his practice of self healing! And this dream was written by him in his regional language Gujarati, I have tried to translate his narration with care and considering his details. Now let us try out to find out few primary interpretations about this dream:

•1. Reiki Degree course 2 might have open up his inner awareness. So he was able to remember dreams.

•2. This dream has continuity and the dreamer is in some kind of searching process.

•3. To search in drawers and cupboard has not much significance but to see in the mirror is interesting because this is indicating that the dreamer is mostly searching true identity of himself!

•4. Sea and moon reflects respectably bulk of mass in the darkness and shining lonely: These things provide that some how the person likes to shine but trying to keep him hidden because of some kind of hesitation. He likes his loneliness because of peace but can also prefer to be with the people...

•5. This led him in the conflict with his own shadow... This is very interesting and significant part of the dream; which is clearly showing that the dreamer has some kind of fear in him and because of such fear (the feeling of hesitation in public or expressing himself, which id holding him.

•6. The running of the shadow indicates the inner courage the person has but it is hidden and he has no confidence to explore it. The accident of the shadow tries to unfolds some thing in him.. I would like to mention that Reiki Practice has awaken his inner self and he also become little aware to manifest the things which could be provide him self identity and recognition as a person!

•7. The end of the dream is shocking... I thought that if he had more sleep, I mean the shock element did not awake him then? But found no significance in that because the dream ended there where it had a punch to make aware the dreamer...

•8. I hope that this dream has given a change agent to the person, who is inside him and now he come across with that inner fellow... So he has to use this opportunity and come out with his fear and sense of lack of self identity and go ahead with what ever ability he has with him!

This is primary interpretation and I think it has a positive point of view. You will be happy to find out that this person really go ahead with the interpreted things and followed to express himself with healing and writing and expressing vocally also and now he is different as per his own saying: Yes, I feel that this dream and use of Reiki Energy has helped me to come out from my small dark room under the sunshine...

This is the way where life expresses with its footprints!
