Dreams, to Map the Course of Your Mind.

Interpret your dreams.

discover your inner self.

change your inner self.

Transform your life.

Interpret your dreams; obtain your dreams! The psychology of interpretation for happiness and inner change. This new system Can transform your life. Use 'Soul Statements' to map the course of your inner-life! A new method of interpretation, to discover the rocks in your mind, and then flow on a current to where your sweetest dreams may lie.

As you go through this life you're flowing in a certain way. In your mind is a constant inner-dialogue and continuation of mental pictures, and these flow from the inner-philosophy you have about life, and they flow to the way you experience the world outside. Happy, fulfilled people don't have the same inner-life as those who have, or feel they have, failed. Often our minds are a balance for the world outside; we all spend at least some time daydreaming. Nobody will say that they want to be poor or unhappy, yet poor or unhappy people do spend their moment to moment inner-life unknowingly creating these conditions. Maybe you're neither poor nor totally unhappy, but any of us could do better! It's not easy to be conscious of our moment to moment dialogue, pictures and inner-philosophy, one problem is observation, and the other is self-censorship. Dreams at night are a continuation of the person we are in the daytime. We can use them to find out how we've made ourselves the people we are and the circumstances we live in, and this knowledge is the first step to happy change.

Dream interpretation doesn't seem either easy nor practical on the face of it, but I've developed my own system, actually based on methods of creativity. Forget the 'dream dictionaries' or complicated tomes of psychology. My method of interpretation is intended to reveal our inner-philosophy, dialogue and pictures - and to enable change through the other methods discussed elsewhere in this site. At the end of this, through a process of why, why, why questioning you will end up with a growing series of 'Soul Statements', and eventually a picture of yourself will emerge, your inner-self, and this will show you why you are who you are, where you are, and you may effect any subsequent change as you might desire.

The easiest way to do this is for me to show you just a few of my own dreams and how I arrived at my 'soul statements' so you shall be able to do similar.

Dream One - Title: Jelly Pills.

I went into a clothes shop but couldn't find anything I liked. I sat down to take some medicine but found that my mischievous nephew had covered them in jelly. I was so mad I trembled in anger and felt I could kill him.

At the time I had this dream, I was at the start of a chronic illness. Going into the clothes shop and not finding what I liked shows that I can't find an 'outer-persona' that I'm comfortable with; I don't fit in. The pills became useless because of the jelly; jelly could represent the lack of strength, inner-fiber or gumption, to make a decision about who I am. The pills are useless and I erupt into anger, meaning the constant inner-irritation I was feeling prior to becoming sick had caused the illness and there was no point carrying on taking any medication while I still felt angry.

Now with most dream interpretation techniques everything would stop there, but I have to come up with a 'Soul Statement' as I wish to refine/heal myself. So this is done by summing up the dream and to keep asking why, why, why, until I end up with an indivisible statement. An atom sentence perhaps.

1. I made myself ill by being constantly angry about everything. WHY?
2. I can't find a way to feel I fit in with everyone around me. WHY?
3. I don't have the same goals as every body else. WHY?
4. Life is too weird; I have to pursue these answers and can't stand the mundane. WHY?
5. I can't answer that.

Soul Statement: My perceived difference to other people causes inner-anger which in turn affects my health.

Because it's just the way I am. So now I know. I was feeling constantly angry because I don't fit in, I can't think of anyone who's like me, this led me to be ill. So either I can change or accept myself. When I thought about it, I couldn't change. I'll never be happy with the mundane (I lead a bohemian lifestyle), if feeling an outsider is a part of that, then I'll accept it. O.K, so that's not perfect but when I understood what the dream was really saying, I felt better about things (though I didn't get well). Let's do another example:

Dream Two - Title: Black Eye.

I went to the bank and the teller started flirting with me. She asked if she could have a picture of myself. I gave her one and noticed that in it I had a black eye. We went to a restaurant together and I felt really annoyed about something but I didn't know what. By the time the food came I was so irritated that I pretended that I didn't want the food. To be polite she pretended she didn't either and it made me feel even worse.

Then it was another day. I was in the bank and saw her in the background. I could see that she was avoiding me.

O.K. So let's interpret it.

1. I pretend I don't like people and situations and act aloofly [Refusing the food]. WHY?
2. So people won't like me and become my friends [Her avoiding me the next day]. WHY?
3. As I recall that whenever I was close to people in the past they had to go away so now I avoid closeness [Black eye]. WHY?
4. I can't stand the loss. WHY?
5. I can't answer that.

Soul Statement = I act cold to avoid closeness with other people as I can't stand loss.

I keep a separate book with nothing but dreams in it, and the soul statements at the end of each dream. The thing is that after a few months I realised that it came down to a small number of Soul Statements endlessly repeating themselves, thus I could see where I was in life; a map of my stream had been charted.

Here's another dream that ends up at the same statement after the 'why' questioning.

Dream three - Title:Conspiracy Cake

I was on a ship, in the restaurant. An Indian acquaintance I didn't know very well was with me. I ordered a chocolate cake but the waiter brought two by mistake. I guessed it was a conspiracy, that the waiter had brought two on purpose so his friend could have one for free but I'd have to pay for it. I grabbed the cake and threw it out the window.

At evening meal I saw the Indian man. He smiled at me and seemed really nice. It made me feel even worse.

So this arrives at pretty much the same conclusion, but refers to my inner-philosophy.

1. I'm a suspicious person and always think the worse of people. WHY?
2. So I don't have to bother to get to know anyone. And from here number three; four and five are as above.

A good point to remember when doing the interpretation of your own dreams is not to censure what's there. You could try and twist things round so your nocturnal adventures are only ever saying what a great individual you are, but they're probably not are they? And if they are, then what good is it to you? It may sound negative, but if you look for the worst they could possibly be saying, then you're less likely to see what you want to see and shall also end up with truer Soul Statements. Don't be intimidated about it. The point of finding all these repeating sentences is to change. To become who you wish to be... To be happy!

Sweet dreams.
