recalling the simple

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

alright soo in my studies I realized on half of what the dream was saying was relavant to what the actually meaning was, because my subconscious has led me astray many many times and that I think is normal, its kinda like our waking minds interrupt what the sub is trying to do..therfore it leaves us with a huge ? or many....
soooo working with dreams is simple....
when you start out, I beleive you start with your key symbols that represent yourself and how you feel about these key things for example I had a dream about snakes...
the key is ..how do you feel about snakes? and what was the snake doing in the dream? were you afraid?? what did the fear lead up to??or if it wasnt fear...than elaborate on the feeling...
ya gotta start somewhere and I know it can be a time consuming embrace however lets take a step a simple one in order to recall dreams..
now if you can regain dream recall after waking...but lack information and details ask yourself"where was I just at"? over and over agian until the information comes to you, if it does not
this is what Im writing this for...its simple you recall things that have made a impact on you during the dream...
basics- encountering things that stand out for example my previous dream showed me boats that I was supposed to get onto, and once I looked the boats were small-key is small...I was aslo dumbfounded when they shown that way lol I was like how the hell am i gonna get on that thing lol
water- emotinal breakthrough, because the water was there doesnt mean much except I was trying to transport over it, which means water= emotion, boat=travel
now I know this may be hard to understand but its simple trust me,..
if anything when you are recording your dreams and have a hard time , try to recall the major things that impacted the dream to begin with like I dreamed of a dog than it changed to a bike and I was running down the street thats all I recal...sooo the key here is obviously "change" not persay the dog or bike,
running is another key ....
sooo lets just take change and running for now...
now they are both actions built within ourselves one is physical one can be both...change can mean so many things however when we put running with it..it seems perhaps that we are running from changes...or we have a problem with accepting change...
thes are only examples I did not dream these up lol..Im trying to simplify things....now dreams come in many ways we know the basic symbolilism should be recognized right away, like night for example if your dreaming of night and some battle go's on like me im always fighting in my dreams the night sky's could actual refer to a Knight...its things that are simple yet since we are speaking from our subconscious its difficult to know whats what soo I have a formula here...simple just record the "key" points of the dream...
example- I was hiding from something but dont know what, all I recall is I was in a haunted house and I knew it was haunted so I tried to scream but couldn't so I drew a symbol on the floor for protection the symbol started to change and I was surounded by darkness, than I began to yell again, but nothing came out again,..
keys-
hide
haunted
scream
protection
change
darkness
so we have five major things overruling here, and they ultimatly rule the dream, so this is a example of what I would record if I could not remember the full dream..
and honestly its a very simple way to not only learn your own dream patterns/symbols/metaphors its also a great way for dream recall...
so instead of trying to write the entire dream out,...try this..the things that lay prominant in them..because as you dream more and more you will begin to see your own unique metaphors and dream symbols, this is just a launching pad really and youll be surprised how many times the same things come up...and that is key to learning your dreams on your personal level,
but the overall key is knowing oneself.... by understanding who you are and how you come off to the world and what your trying to do here is a big role, if you have trouble with making sense of your actions/thoughts this can help I think alot...
just think simple, because everything really is truly simple and your brain knows it already lol
key-brain lmao!

All right Ronni, I'll give this a try. How do you know what key things are? Are those things you feel most strongly about? Or are they just key things in the dream, that stand out the most, keywords?

Oh, and Ronni, you said somewhere about writing a book, how about a blog? :-) We could all contribute some articles.

interessting and useful proposal i find.

It can be both Lena, like I would say the things you feel strongly about take them down first of course and maybe some key things would just be"things" you recall in the dream but not persay having any relavance to anyting.
and Yes the blog idea is cool Lena could always add a link to the forum for it:) that would actually help gettin more visitors and maybe membets.
and thank you Nani, just hpefully I can help someone lol
