A Guide
to Dream Symbols
By Théun Mares.
A GUIDE TO
DREAMING
The possible
symbols which can come up in dreams are just
about infinite,
but the list provided here will prove to be
adequate as far
as most dreams are concerned, provided that the
following rules
are remembered:
1. Note the
feeling of the dream. This tells you whether the
symbols
encountered are to be interpreted in a positive or
negative sense.
2. Note the
story line. This reveals a great deal of information
in itself and is
a great help in interpretation, since it is the actual
sequence of
events which indicates the interpretation that is to
be followed. The
opening scene in a dream is the actual message;
the sequences
which follow supply the details.
3. Historical
personages, historical events and places are to be
viewed in the
context of what actually took place where and on
what date. Dates
are to be treated as numbers.
e.g. 12th. March
1807 = 12 + 03 + 1807 = (1 + 2) + 3 + (1
+ 8 + 0 + 7) = 3
+ 3 + 16 = 3 + 3 + (1 + 6) = 3 + 3 + 7 = 13
If total is
greater than 33, reduce to a single digit.
4. Current
celebrities are to be viewed in the light of their
activities, the
values they uphold, and the images they portray.
5. Appliances
and tools are symbols representing their use.
Check this use
for possible significance in the listing: e.g. a stove,
microwave oven,
or toaster, depending upon the context in
which they are
encountered, could all indicate the activity of
eating; that is,
the need for spiritual nourishment.
6. Always take
careful note not only of a symbol, but also
whether there is
more than one. If more than one, see numbers.
7. Always note
color of clothing, furnishing, plants, hair,
eyes, etc., and
see color.
8. Regard
unknown or unseen presences in a dream as a
stranger, or if
he or she feels very familiar to you, then regard
him or her as
your own dreamer, or an aspect of yourself.
9. Scenes from
your own past should be seen as the need for
recapitulation
of that period in your life.
10. Interaction
with family members, friends or acquaintances
from the past
all indicate the need for recapitulating those
relationships.
11. All
nightmares are of extreme importance. If they involve
scenes from the
past, the need for serious and immediate
recapitulation
is indicated, for it means that suppressed emotions
are reaching a
critical point. If they involve current issues, the
need for
sobriety and impeccability is indicated. If they involve
unknown events,
they are indicating future events which will
either be feared
or else cause great stress.
12. Recurring
dreams are either in the nature of past issues
which are very
important, but which have not yet been resolved,
or else
prophecies of future events involving the unfoldment of
destiny. Note
these most carefully and keep constant watch for
indications of
their unfoldment.
13. Most things
not listed here can safely be taken at face
value, but if
unknown symbols should be encountered, rely upon
your own feeling
of what that symbol means to you personally.
However, until
you are confident in dream analysis, take your
interpretation
not as fact, but simply as a possibility.
14. Although the
interpretations given in the list of symbols
a re generally
speaking very accurate, it nevertheless does
sometimes happen
that a symbol will have an interpretation
which is in some
way different to the one given in the list.
Consequently you
should never make the mistake of regarding
the
interpretations given as being the inviolable truth. This list of
symbols and
their interpretations is merely a guide, and only a
guide! In this
respect always listen to your heart, and if in any
doubt, it is
wise to wait for some kind of confirmation.
15. In working
with time it is possible to use either digital or
analogue time.
Digital time is quicker and easier to use, but
analogue time
yields more detail. However, both methods are
equally accurate
and, when understood properly, will both yield
an almost
identical message, albeit in a different form. Here are
the methods:
Digital Time:
Work with 24
hours. e.g. Time reads 14h56.
See Numbers for
interpretation of 14 and 11, (5 + 6 = 11).
Remember that
the feeling of the dream will indicate whether
the
interpretation should be positive or negative. Let us assume
that in this
example the interpretation is to be positive.
14 indicates
knowledge, which will yield strength (11). Now
add all the
digits for overall import; i.e. (1 + 4 + 5 + 6) = 16. This
means that the
overall effect of the experience will be liberation
through the
power of intent (16).
Analogue Time:
Be careful not
to mix analogue with digital times. In the
example we are
working with the time will now read four
minutes to three
o' clock, i.e. 'four to three'.
Proceeding as
above, we find that the message now reads
stability (4)
will lead to mixed abundance through joy and
creativity (3).
Now adding digits we get (4 + 3) = 7, meaning
that the overall
import of the message is one of guidance.
If we now
compare both messages we find that knowledge
(14) will
manifest in the form of stability (4), which will yield
strength (11) in
the form of mixed abundance through joy and
creativity (3).
The overall effect of the experience will be
liberation
through the power of intent (16) manifesting in the
form of guidance
(7). (Note how 16 reduces to 7).
In working with
analogue time take care that the time is read
correctly: e.g.
09h15 must be read as being fifteen minutes past
nine, in which
case the hour precedes the minutes. In other
words, the hour
indicates the cause and the minutes the effect.
However, when
the time is 09h45, it should be read as fifteen
minutes to ten,
in which case the minutes now precede the hour.
In other words
the minutes now indicate the cause and the hour
the effect.

A GUIDE TO
DREAMING
The possible
symbols which can come up in dreams are just
about infinite,
but the list provided here will prove to be
adequate as far
as most dreams are concerned, provided that the
following rules
are remembered:
1. Note the
feeling of the dream. This tells you whether the
symbols
encountered are to be interpreted in a positive or
negative sense.
2. Note the
story line. This reveals a great deal of information
in itself and is
a great help in interpretation, since it is the actual
sequence of
events which indicates the interpretation that is to
be followed. The
opening scene in a dream is the actual message;
the sequences
which follow supply the details.
3. Historical
personages, historical events and places are to be
viewed in the
context of what actually took place where and on
what date. Dates
are to be treated as numbers.
e.g. 12th. March
1807 = 12 + 03 + 1807 = (1 + 2) + 3 + (1
+ 8 + 0 + 7) = 3
+ 3 + 16 = 3 + 3 + (1 + 6) = 3 + 3 + 7 = 13
If total is
greater than 33, reduce to a single digit.
4. Current
celebrities are to be viewed in the light of their
activities, the
values they uphold, and the images they portray.
5. Appliances
and tools are symbols representing their use.
Check this use
for possible significance in the listing: e.g. a stove,
microwave oven,
or toaster, depending upon the context in
which they are
encountered, could all indicate the activity of
eating; that is,
the need for spiritual nourishment.
6. Always take
careful note not only of a symbol, but also
whether there is
more than one. If more than one, see numbers.
7. Always note
color of clothing, furnishing, plants, hair,
eyes, etc., and
see color.
8. Regard
unknown or unseen presences in a dream as a
stranger, or if
he or she feels very familiar to you, then regard
him or her as
your own dreamer, or an aspect of yourself.
9. Scenes from
your own past should be seen as the need for
recapitulation
of that period in your life.
10. Interaction
with family members, friends or acquaintances
from the past
all indicate the need for recapitulating those
relationships.
11. All
nightmares are of extreme importance. If they involve
scenes from the
past, the need for serious and immediate
recapitulation
is indicated, for it means that suppressed emotions
are reaching a
critical point. If they involve current issues, the
need for
sobriety and impeccability is indicated. If they involve
unknown events,
they are indicating future events which will
either be feared
or else cause great stress.
12. Recurring
dreams are either in the nature of past issues
which are very
important, but which have not yet been resolved,
or else
prophecies of future events involving the unfoldment of
destiny. Note
these most carefully and keep constant watch for
indications of
their unfoldment.
13. Most things
not listed here can safely be taken at face
value, but if
unknown symbols should be encountered, rely upon
your own feeling
of what that symbol means to you personally.
However, until
you are confident in dream analysis, take your
interpretation
not as fact, but simply as a possibility.
14. Although the
interpretations given in the list of symbols
a re generally
speaking very accurate, it nevertheless does
sometimes happen
that a symbol will have an interpretation
which is in some
way different to the one given in the list.
Consequently you
should never make the mistake of regarding
the
interpretations given as being the inviolable truth. This list of
symbols and
their interpretations is merely a guide, and only a
guide! In this
respect always listen to your heart, and if in any
doubt, it is
wise to wait for some kind of confirmation.
15. In working
with time it is possible to use either digital or
analogue time.
Digital time is quicker and easier to use, but
analogue time
yields more detail. However, both methods are
equally accurate
and, when understood properly, will both yield
an almost
identical message, albeit in a different form. Here are
the methods:
Digital Time:
Work with 24
hours. e.g. Time reads 14h56.
See Numbers for
interpretation of 14 and 11, (5 + 6 = 11).
Remember that
the feeling of the dream will indicate whether
the
interpretation should be positive or negative. Let us assume
that in this
example the interpretation is to be positive.
14 indicates
knowledge, which will yield strength (11). Now
add all the
digits for overall import; i.e. (1 + 4 + 5 + 6) = 16. This
means that the
overall effect of the experience will be liberation
through the
power of intent (16).
Analogue Time:
Be careful not
to mix analogue with digital times. In the
example we are
working with the time will now read four
minutes to three
o' clock, i.e. 'four to three'.
Proceeding as
above, we find that the message now reads
stability (4)
will lead to mixed abundance through joy and
creativity (3).
Now adding digits we get (4 + 3) = 7, meaning
that the overall
import of the message is one of guidance.
If we now
compare both messages we find that knowledge
(14) will
manifest in the form of stability (4), which will yield
strength (11) in
the form of mixed abundance through joy and
creativity (3).
The overall effect of the experience will be
liberation
through the power of intent (16) manifesting in the
form of guidance
(7). (Note how 16 reduces to 7).
In working with
analogue time take care that the time is read
correctly: e.g.
09h15 must be read as being fifteen minutes past
nine, in which
case the hour precedes the minutes. In other
words, the hour
indicates the cause and the minutes the effect.
However, when
the time is 09h45, it should be read as fifteen
minutes to ten,
in which case the minutes now precede the hour.
In other words
the minutes now indicate the cause and the hour
the effect.
