No one truly knows why we dream, but many people are trying to gain a better understanding of what their dreams mean. Some people have even devoted their entire life to dream interpretation.
What we do know is that there is a significant relationship between a dreamer’s current state of mind versus dreams that occur at night (this is part of what my book on Directed Dreaming is about).

This is where an understanding of dream content and dream symbols would greatly aid dreamers in understanding what their night dreams are trying to tell them about their daily life.

At some point, it may seem like a number of dream types start to become familiar, and the dreamer finally gets the feeling that they (the dreams) are trying to tell them something. The most famous of which would be recurring dreams.

A dream which keeps getting experienced on a regular basis is pretty much what is known as a recurring dream, and is seen as a common dream event. Recurring dreams, as dream therapists and analysts have come to see them, are messages from the inner self (the subconscious) of a dreamer, telling him/her about something which needs to be addressed in the waking life.

Think of recurring dreams as a person who keeps on calling for your attention and won’t let you alone until you listen and deal with what is being said.

Here are two of the most common dream symbols that happen in most recurring dreams, and what the dreamer(s) did to resolve the issues.

FLYING

Dreams about flying usually refer to a dreamer’s desire to be free, or to escape, from the situation they are with in waking reality. Recurring dreams of this type usually tell dreamers what their inner desires are, and are usually resolved by addressing the same desire to be free.

Unfortunately, escape and freedom from the things that bind people aren’t easily done. Recurring dreams about flying are simply indicators of one’s desire to be free.  The most common steps dreamers take to acknowledge their wish for freedom is to adapt a new outlook towards what they see as their shackles, or start to make some small changes that will eventually get them out of their current situation.

Again, this is noted in a general sense, as not all situations are the same and equal with all others.

TEETH FALLING

Dream content entailing the falling of teeth usually refers to a dreamer’s issue with not being heard or acknowledged in the waking world. As recurring dreams, they are somewhat disturbing, if not annoying. Studies have revealed that teeth falling dreams are common among shy people, who have issues related to work, particularly standing up to their bosses.

Dream therapists have suggested conversation enrichment programs for falling teeth dreamers, with the goal of arming dreamers with the skills needed to make their voices heard.

All in all, recurring dreams do have something to say regarding one’s self. If properly addressed, they could be maximized as personal markers, informing dreamers about what their problems are with the waking world, leading to happier, more content lives.

In the end, they are dreams which call for a dreamer’s attention, because what they have to say, needs to be heard if the dream is ever going to resolve important issues.

My Aunt mentioned that she was very excited to read my book on Directed Dreaming and started telling me about a dream she had. She wanted to see if I knew what it meant.  Her story is as follows:

She was getting ready for a family function where her children were coming from two separate states and were going to meet at her house. Before she went to bed, she said to herself, “I wonder what sort of bad things could possibly happen to the kids before they get here?”

Well, her brain immediately went to work while she slept trying to conjure up some bad things to answer her question.

Oh my – not a good thing at all!  You see, you have to ask questions in a way that your brain can get accurate and correct information; otherwise it just makes something up. I immediately sat her down with a copy of my book, and she was done with it in about two hours.

The next day we were at another family function and she came up to me and said “I tried the tricks in your book, and I found out that I really did get much better information than before, and actually, slept better.”

She had a better sleep because she woke up in the middle of the night and wrote something down that she needed to remember the next day.  After you write down an answer, your brain can stop working on trying to remember it.

In just a short time, she completely changed the way she thought about things; was able to sleep better, and woke up with positive information, instead of a sinking feeling that something would go wrong, just because she asked the wrong questions.

Information is power, as they say, and it pays to have the correct information given to you quickly and easily while you sleep.

Here’s to pleasant dreams – that all come true!
