In his book ‘Dream Images and Symbols’, Kevin Tadashi gives the following advice on developing the ability to interpret dreams:
1. write down your dream as soon as you wake up. Even if you only have the feeling of a good night's sleep, write it down. Let your subconscious know that you are serious.
2 Recognise that your feeling about the dream is just as important as any possible interpretation. What is your emotional reaction to the dream, to other characters in the dream or to the actions taking place? Also note the actions, feelings, emotions and conversations of each character in your dream.
3. remember that each character in a dream usually represents a part of yourself. Other people may reflect aspects of your own personality, desires and fears, even if it is a real person you know. In general, the dream figure represents an aspect of yourself in relation to that person.
4. look for recurring symbols, characters and emotions in your dreams and start a personal dream dictionary. Make a note of these symbols and their meaning for you. By observing what is going on in your life and then looking at a particular dream, you will get an idea of what individual symbols might mean to you, especially if the symbol reappears in later dreams. If the symbol had a voice, what would it say to you? The symbol does not have to mean the same thing to other people, because personal symbols are as individual as the dreamer themselves. For example, dreaming of teeth falling out may symbolise gossip for some people, but someone who has just got new dentures might have a completely different interpretation.
5. practise, practise, practise. After you've recorded your dreams, make it a habit to explore them a few weeks later. Look for themes, situations, emotions and symbols that repeat themselves. One person discovered that her cat, whom she loved very much, frequently appeared in dreams that dealt with personal relationships. Another person found that a clock was a recurring symbol in precognitive dreams about their personal future.
