5 Keys To INterpreting Your Dreams

Your Dreams (NAPS)—Have you ever awakened and wondered what a dream meant? According to Mark Thurston, Ph.D., author of “How to Interpret Your Dreams: Practical Techniques Based on the Edgar Cayce Read- ings” published by the A.R.E. Press, one of the best tools for dream interpretation is to write everything in a “dream journal” within five minutes of waking up. The dream will be fresh in your memory and you'll have a better chance of recalling vivid details. Write with these five guidelines in mind: 1. Theme: What is happening to whom? 2. Emotional context: What is the general feeling you get from the dream? 3. Is the meaning literal or metaphorical? 4. Compare the dream to your presentlife. 5. Interpret the symbols using a symbol dictionary. Following these steps will set you on your wayto recalling more dreams, deciphering their mes- sages, and applying the messages to your wakinglife.
