On Dreaming
Only Some Dreams Require Interpretation
It is generally accepted that there are four kinds of dreams:
1. daily processing,
2. problem-solving,
3. psychological, and
4. precognitive.
Most dreams fall in the realm of "daily processing", clearing the garbage from our minds - dumping input from the day that we no longer need. We don't remember most of these dreams, and those we do remember can usually be easily related to our lives. "Problem-solving" dreams are just what you might think - your subconscious knows all - it knows your problems - and it knows how to solve them. If the subconscious thinks its solution is important enough, up pops a problem-solving dream. We don't always remember these dreams, but our conscious mind does and acts on these dreams directly. Again, when we do remember them, we can normally interpret them for ourselves.
Psychological dreams are those dreams that bring subconscious "junk" to the surface - the baggage we need to acknowledge and face in order to grow. For most of us, these dreams are about our relationships, past sufferings, our fears and anxieties, guilt and resentment. In these "psychological" dreams, we're not solving a problem or making a decision, we're simply facing something about ourselves or our current situation that's probably been holding us back. Some of these dreams, especially those that are repetitive, require interpretation. Some can be indicative of physical problems that require medical attention
Precognitive dreams deliver psychic data. You dream about a friend and then see them the next day or you dream your sister is pregnant and she is! For most of us, precognitive dreams aren't so obvious because our ego shadows our psychic information with symbols. Precognitive dreams can often be identified by their quality: the light will be strange, or you clearly feel yourself in another dimension, objects are oddly shaped or made of unusual materials.... These dreams are almost always worth recording and tracking for they will be rish with informarion, much of it presented in symbols.
In addition to the four general types of dreams, there is the phenomenon of group dreaming, where many individuals either purposely or spontaneously dream of the same event. Dream time is perfect for Out of Body (OBE) experiences and many individuals find themselves actually visiting someone thousands of miles away and being able to accurately describe the place and people with whom they visited. Many psychics also speak of dreams in which they have been in class, learning new skills and soon after found themselves actually manifesting enhanced or new abilities.
