How Useful is a Dream Dictionary Really?
At the start of your dream journey, one of the most frustrating things is to figure out what the symbolism in your dreams means! Most often people start their dream conversation with me by saying: “I had this weird dream …” What makes it “weird” is the strange collection of people, objects, places and events that take place in the dream. How do you make sense of it? I guess you’d be thinking that a dream dictionary is a good place to start. The biggest “complaint” I hear is: “I looked up “such-and-such” in a dream dictionary and it makes absolutely no sense to me!” Well, I’m not surprised. Watch out for Dream Dictionary Bloopers! Some dream dictionaries contain some real whoppers. Here’s a selection from some dubious sources I saw recently [don’t laugh … these are real examples!]: Burglar – If you catch a burglar in your dream you’re about to inherit some money. Funeral – signifies news of an engagement or wedding. Marshmallow – means you will meet a new friend of the opposite sex.
