Dreams are such fertile ground from which to excavate little pieces of ourselves.
The best advice I ever heard on dream interpretation was to focus first on the emotion you feel while in the dream. So, rather than trying to hone in on details of what you see or what was said, really try to get a sense of what you are feeling in the moment. That is the context in which all the other details make the most sense. Are you scared? Curious? Tired? Elated? Confused?
In practice, I have found that focusing on the emotion first also helps me with dream recall. I'm not sure why this is, but it is.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the insights from your research. Always fascinating.
Hi Jamie, Good point. Applying the first emotion from this dream it was probably emotional exhaustion. I love hearing other perspectives and experiences. Thank you. xx
I so love the dream space and meeting other who also know the depth and importance. Big hug
Thank you Megan. xx
