Dream Interpretation
Over the past years many have interpreted dreams and have found
a common type of dream. Having an understanding as to the different types of
these dreams can lead you to have a better understanding to successfully gain an
insight into and interpret your dreams.
Daydream
We all have daydreams where we are not actually asleep but we are living in a
moment of our imagination. Some daydreams may be a fantasy about another place
or moment in time. This daydream allows our minds to rest, to remain calm and to
consider what could be.
Recurring Dream
As we have discovered
generally, a dream is trying to tell us something, our subconscious is sending a
message to our conscious state. What that something is, we have to work out for
ourselves. Now the recurring dream is saying to us, "Hey - I am trying to tell
you something here and you are ignoring me".
The recurring dream
replays and often takes off where it left the night before. Looking at these
types of dreams you can often remember the theme of the dream and able to relate
it to your life. Once the dream message has been addressed you will often find
that the recurring dream will cease as the situation has been resolved.
Nightmare
Violent
and disturbing dreams are often referred to as a nightmare.
Many children
have a nightmare as do some adults. Often these types of dreams are re-living a
traumatic event in your life or chronic situation that you were involved in.
These types of dreams are common in returning servicemen from war torn
countries, being involved in a traffic accident or suffering from some form of
addiction dependency.
Often these types of dreams can be overcome by providing
treatment to the cause of the trauma and medical professionals and counsellors
can assist in this area.
Healing Dream
Often this type of dream occurs when you are suffering from some form of ill
health such as an illness, ingrown toenail or toothache. The dream is saying you
need to heal yourself and is warning you to take action in seeking medical
attention before the condition worsens.
Epic Dreams
These types of dreams are
similar to you sitting in a cinema and watching a movie. Your epic dream is the
same, full of symbols, colors, events and characters. This type of dream is
playing out a scenario that will last in your memory for quite some time and is
sending to you a distinct message. Such a message might be you saying, "oh I had
this dream once" and the message you will remember and put it to use during your
life.
Lucid Dream
An interesting type of dream where you recognize that you are actually dreaming,
you have a strong awareness that this is a dream and you can either wake up from
the dream or can control the direction of the dream.
By taking
control of the dream you can explore new areas that you normally would not be
able to do. A lucid dream allows you to play out a scenario to see what might
happen or if you enjoy the direction the dream takes.
Prophetic Dream
Simply put, a dream
where you see into the future. If you have such a dream and have recorded the
dream that later comes true, then yes that is a prophetic dream. These
types of dreams are not common and not widely believed, however there are people
you might just have this
psychic
ability. The alternative of course is your mind is playing out events
that have occurred and points you in the direction or right path that you should
take with a situation.
