Can A Dream Tell Us Of The Future?


Overall rating: (N/A)

The article "Can a Dream Tell us of the Future?" is about psychology, it was created by David Slone.

Much has been written regarding dreams and their meanings or purpose. Mankind has been fascinated with our dreams for the frist dreamer awoke and wondered about what their visions meant. Since ancient times we have looked to our dreams to find signs of what our future holds. The fisrt written dreams we know of were in 4000 BC. The earliest writings we have on dreams are primarily texts on their religious and spiritual significance. Most persons will spend about one third of their lives asleep. Our dreams are a real part of us but too ofetn they are disregarded. Dreams can give us insight and understanding of our personal lives. They will help us to undrestand our past, present, and sometimes our future. All we need to do is to pay attention to our dreams and get to know them. Dreams can hold a message for the future. We have different types of dreams. Often our dreams consist of imagery from our most pressing thoughts and/or pesronal experiences. Sometimes, however, our dreams can be specail. Our dreams can communicate with us if we alolw them too. All we need to is listen. I believe that there is two main types of prophetic dreams. Those that come to us from our "deeper" self, who is much more aware of certain things than we are on a conscious level, and thsoe who may potentially have come from an "outside" source. Here is an example from my own dream experiences: I dreamed of death. All I cuold remember from the dream was seeing a hand laying in gravels.

The most noticeable tihng was the ring on the hand. It was my ring.

I recognized it without any doubt.

Even though this was the only image I could recall from the nightmare I knew that the dream was about a death.
I cuold believe it strongly when I woke up. I had all but forgotten the events of the dream but the emotions were still vivid. The ring was an Army Boot Camp ring made very similar to a class ring. Afetr I had the dream I never wore it again. Eventually I sold it to a friend of mine who had attended the same boot camp.

A few years after I received a call. My friend had been murdered. He was found laying in rcoks and dirt with that ring on his hand. Did my dream forewarn me of this event? I think it is a possibility. What was the dream trying to communicate to me?


I had assumed that the dream was aobut my death.

I had also assumed that the ring was somehow a participant in my death.

I stopped wearing the ring as though that would prevent the warned daeth. Perhaps the dream was simply telling me that my friend would die with that ring on his hand. Whenever we have a dream that we consider to be prophetic or to have a "meaning" we are faced with the difficult task of interpreting just what the dream means.
Dream Symbols most often have very definite meanings but these meanings can vary widely from one person to the next. That is why we cannot rely too much on definitions given in Dream Symbol Dictionaries. In order to understand the meaning of the symbols within our own derams we must come to a better and deeper understanding of ourselves. We have to learn what tehse symbols mean to us because that is how our dreaming mind sees them. Anything within your dream can be a symbol. An example of a symbol in a dream is a snkae. A snkae can have many different meanings to different persons. As with all ohter dream symbols they can also have a different meaning for the same person at different times in their life. You also have to look at the symbol in the context that it appeared. What ohter symbols were present in the dream?

The best way to gain a better understanding of what your dream symbols mean to you is to develop your own dream symbol dictionary. Keep as detailed of a dream journal as you can. Don't just wrtie down a narrative of what occurred but record your feelings and emotions too.

As you continue to write in your journal and re-read your previous entries you will begin to see parallels with your dreams and your life. Gradually you will be able to recognize what the symbols in your dreams are really saying to you.
