Interpretation of a psychological
dream.
Life’s experiences sometimes rubs
us the wrong way. When something happens that contradicts our
sense of ‘what oughtta be’ regarding our view of right or
wrong, good and bad, it can make us pretty unhappy and affect
our outlook on life. Unfulfilled wishes and desires are
another have much the same effect.
Through our dreams, the
subconscious mind tries to provide us with just the right
dream at just the right time, to compensate for the many
things that cause our peace of mind to get out of
balance.
If we have fears, it tries to
feed us those fears little by little in coded dreams to help
us overcome them. Occasionally it uses the brute force of a
nightmare to get its point across.
If we have unfulfilled desires it
may provide us with a substitute to alleviate the sense of
lacking.
Some of these dreams are pretty
straight forward and at other times they are embedded in
deeply symbolic presentations taken from our own memory bank
of experiences. To solve the riddle of our dreams we need to
sort out the feelings, meanings, and the memories of what all
these symbols mean to us from our experience.
Here are a few
simple examples:
Right and
wrong.
Art is a hard working and honest
immigrant from Hungary who scrapping to make ends meet. He has
a Hungarian friend named Hector who made a false claim for a
faked injury on a train platform in NYC. Even though he had no
witnesses to his fall, the city paid him a large amount of
money to settle the claim. Art is dismayed and almost
delirious with anger. How could his friend be rewarded for
dishonesty while he worked so hard just to get by. He became
discouraged and his outlook on life and sense of right and
wrong suffered.
Several months later Art had a
vivid dream. He witnessed his friend Hector being arrested for
fraud, the police handcuffed him and a nearby judge ordered
him deported back to Europe. End of dream.
Was his friend really arrested or
deported? No. It only happened in Art’s dream. But as he told
the story of the dream, there was a sense of relief in his
voice that somehow justice was done. His subconscious
delivered Art back to his old cheery self through a dream. It
gave him a substitute for justice in a dream which he
accepted.
Her fear
overcome.
The upper bridge in Margaret’s mouth
became loose one day. It didn’t actually come out, it just
loosened a bit. The thought of it falling out in front of
other people petrified her. She didn’t have a lot of money and
couldn’t get it repaired. She lived in constant fear of this
happening and for months ate liquid foods hoping to prevent it
from happening. Then she had a dream. In the dream the thing
she feared most happened. The bridge fell out in front of a
lot of people. Then she just took it and pushed it back in her
mouth and it stayed there. End of dream.
She stopped worrying about her
bridge falling out. That was approximately five years prior to
the telling of the dream and it still hadn’t fallen
out.
These are examples of how the
subconscious mind helps to keep us in balance psychologically.
Although the actual cause for the worry and concern was not
really resolved for these two people, a dream provided them
with a substitute for the real thing.
Other dreams may not be so
straight forward and may require the use of the divide and
analyze technique.
