Interpreting dream images

[Guest guest]

Everyone has massive amounts of karma (conation memories) from a

minimum of millions of past lifetimes and also his or her own set of

goals, interests, and situational elements. Therefore, every human is

quite different from every other human.

 

In social situations, we have learned a set of roles and scripts which

make us think we are more similar than we really are, but those are

superficial.

 

The second point is that any image can be interpreted in many thousands

of different ways, using metaphors and symbolism, so among more than 6

billion people, the same dream image has thousands of different

interpretations, depending on the mix of karma (conation memories),

goals, interests, and situational elements of each person.

 

Thus, for any individual dream, there is the question of which of thousands of possible interpretations is the correct one.

 

Unfortunately, there is no book about dream interpretation which gives

thousands of possible interpretations for every possible image, and

gives ways to tell which interpretation of a specific dream by a

specific person is the right one.

 

In addition, although things like free association can pull forth an

interpretation, we don't at this time have a way to tell if that is the

right interpretation.

 

However, there is something else of great value one can do with dream

interpretation. One can not worry about what a dream really means, and

instead, use the dream to advance one on ones spiritual path.

 

Let us call this " learning-interpretation " .

 

In learning-interpretation, one thinks up various possible meanings of

the dream until one comes to a meaning which advances one on ones

spiritual path.

 

Each dream that one does learning-interpretation with is therefore

guaranteed to be valuable because each advances one on ones spiritual

path. It doesn't matter whether or not the interpretation is the right

one. It only matters that one gains something from the

learning-interpretation of the dream.RegardsGanesh Baba+919880962897
