What do your dreams mean?
Jungian dream interpretation models, which is nearly all of them, say that our dreams are our id trying to make sense of events in our life. It’s like going through your piles of unopened post, leafing through your photo albums, looking at your latest videos, photos and journal jottings and having a clear out of the stuff you don’t want to keep any more, while putting the rest somewhere you can find it again.
Has it ever occurred to you that some of your dreams might be something external trying to speak to you? Throughout history, writings have mentioned dreams often. The Bible is full of accounts of dreams; Joseph’s famous dreams, about how his family would one day bow down to him and Pharaoh’s dreams about the impending famine, not to mention Daniel’s dreams about future events are just a few famous examples.
I believe that some of our dreams could be God trying to communicate with us. By the time you reach 60 you’ll have spent something like 20 years sleeping, so He’s had plenty of time to try.
If you want your dreams interpreted, send me an email. Or, if you’re brave, post them as a comment to this page.
Describe whatever you can remember (it helps to keep a notepad and pencil by your bed side so you can note details down when you awake). Was the dream in colour or black and white? Or was it in black and white but with a detail picked out in colour. What was the colour? Do you have dreams that you’ve had before, recurring dreams? Do your dreams frighten or encourage you? How did you feel when you woke up? Scared? Peaceful? Happy? Sad or frightened?
