Once you have booked Analyze a Dream, fill in this form with your name, your email and all the details you remember from your dream, no matter how strange they may seem. In your story, after the name of the characters, write three adjectives in brackets that describe the feeling that the person gives you (even if it is someone unknown to you). You will receive an email from me 24 hours later with the analysis.
EXPLORING THE HIDDEN MEANINGS IN YOUR DREAMS
By decoding the symbols in your dreams and interpreting their messages, you can establish a direct relationship with your inner voice. This allows you to venture into the unknown and discover new and promising aspects of yourself without typical defenses. By examining the metaphors in your dreams and delving into the stories they tell, you can unlock the door to your inner landscapes and unleash your creativity.
Dreams always reveal the opposite of what you believe to be true about yourself, giving you a fresh perspective on yourself and thus opening a door to your creativity. Interpreting your dreams is to open yourself up to your inner poem; it helps you to leave behind typical attitudes and ways of thinking that lead you again and again back to stagnation.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANALYSING DREAMS?
Have you ever woken up perplexed by a strange dream? Have you ever had the certainty of having solved a dilemma thanks to a dream? Have you had recurring dreams or dreams that you can’t forget? Your dreams are accounts of how your experiences affect you in a deeper way than you are used to acknowledging. Whether they consist of a crazy story or a single image, your dreams are a mirror that invites you to take a deeper look at yourself, and the more bizarre and strange they are, the more interesting they are for your development and evolution. Everything you dream is a reflection of yourself, a mirror in which you are looking at yourself: the way you describe the characters and places in your dream indicates what part of yourself you are observing at that moment.
The images are symbols and metaphors that you have to learn to decipher to collect all the wisdom you carry inside. For example, water symbolizes emotions and how is its state in a dream, if it is calm or with big waves, it is a reflection of your inner state. You dream that your teeth fall out when you are experiencing monumental changes that shake the foundations you thought were immovable. Certain attitudes that must be left behind in order to continue renewing yourself are related to dreams of death, either your own or that of others. The things about yourself that you do not yet know and have not integrated will present themselves as someone chasing you or as a wild animal on the prowl. Your soul speaks to you through the person you love and sexual dreams are dreams of integration of the characteristics you have attributed to the other person in you. When you rise above adversity you have fantastic dreams in which you fly. All the images in your dreams form a new language waiting to be decoded in order to offer you all its wisdom about yourself. Everything you dream is you in your purest state.
Dreams are the way your unconscious, your non-conscious, communicates with you so that you can aspire to excellence, to the best version of yourself. If you look at the natural world, all species seek the best possible conditions in their environment to be able to thrive. You will never see a cheetah running slower than it can in order to hunt, or a cat looking for a bad place to lie down to sleep, or a tomato plant running away from the sun, however in our lives we do things that go against our thriving. Life tends towards excellence and implements mechanisms for its achievement in all species. Our unconscious, which is pre-language, communicates with us through symbols and images so that we move towards the places, situations and people that propel us in our growth and integrate everything that unwittingly blocks our ability to be our best version. The part of us that blocks our natural tendency to grow is the ego that, like a small child afraid of being dethroned, controls our behaviour and decision making so that everything stays as it was.
During sleep we enter another state in which the barriers of consciousness are lowered. With the sentinel of consciousness asleep (the ego) it is the time that nature has designed for us to know our true yearnings and discover our true potential and the path to it. The dream shows you the difficulties that trouble you, it gives you the opportunity to safely “try” to act on them, and you are shown what you were unaware of about yourself through the projections on the characters. The part of you that you have not yet taken ownership of, either because your ego finds it unacceptable or the opposite, is projected onto the characters, objects and places that fit that description. The dream then functions as a fascinating kaleidoscopic mirror that gives you back a multi-faceted and much broader image of yourself. A dream always comes to tell you the opposite of what you believed to be true, and so the unconscious material becomes conscious and the stagnant energy that fed the problem is resolved.
WHAT IF I DO NOT DREAM?
Everyone dreams, whether you remember it or not. Even if we don’t remember the dreams there is still a lot of change and growth happening because of them. When we are faced with something difficult we are sometimes advised to “sleep on it” and when you wake up the situation always looks different. This is because we process a lot of information and clarify many things in the dream state.
If you want to remember your dreams you can do two things:
- Say to yourself before going to bed “I want to remember my dreams”, say it to yourself a lot, with a lot of desire and have the recorder on your bedside table so that when you wake up you can record anything you remember when you are not yet fully awake.
- Accept what you dream and don’t think it’s little, insignificant, short, silly or too common, or be ashamed of it. Your psyche knows perfectly well what commands you and what does not, and your role is not to let your ego take over with its judgements.
Remember that the ego is the sentinel of consciousness, fighting to maintain the Status Quo, i.e. making sure that things stay within the rules and regulations that you learned as a child and that, unchecked, do not allow you as an adult to continue to develop to your full potential. Think of your ego as a clever and fearful child that behaves like a king about to be overthrown, fighting for power and control.
Nothing in a dream is what it seems on the surface and the metaphors and cryptic symbols are like words of a language perhaps new to you, and yet the oldest language we all share. The images you dream of are largely symbols and metaphors, which belong to the collective unconscious, i.e. they are archetypal dreams that everyone has had at one time or another regardless of the culture and historical moment in which they have lived. These archetypal dreams, such as dreaming that you fall continuously through a dark place, or that you are attacked by a wild animal, or that your teeth move or fall out, or that you can fly, have a very clear meaning, the same for all dreamers, because they belong to a language, the language of dreams, which we all share. It is the way the unconscious has of “talking” to us. To know how to analyse a dream is to know how to speak this language. In addition to these archetypal images, there are personal images, metaphors and symbols that come from your waking life, from your biography, and that we learn to decode when you describe them: what you describe is a mirror image of yourself.
HOW DOES DREAM ANALYSIS WORK?
You can send me a dream to analyse by detailing in brackets three adjectives that describe the people you dream about and telling the story as completely as you can. Don’t leave any details out, no matter how bizarre or out of context. We work online via email. With the analysis I send you activities or questions so that you can put into practice in your day to day life the things you discover in your dreams and so that little by little you can make what you really long for come true.
