Dreams are unique and individual, unlike movies and television. The modern movies and TV programs are almost all alike, predictable, fake, and not real. Many are just plain boring.

Dreams seem almost more real than the movies, especailly for the dreamer. They contain emotion and intensity, real pain, hope, fear, and anger. Personally, I like digging into a dreams symbol by symbol.

It all started when I took a dream analysis class back in 2003. I did what they said step by step. After the class, I tried to stay in contact with the teacher. I would give him dreams that I had analyzed and compare my results to his. I was getting pretty close.

I was on my way, but too much was missing, plus there seemed to be too mcuh of a spin on “hearing from God" and “predicting the future". We all want to know the future, but unfortunately dreams generally deal with the present and past. Generally it is your sub-conscious speaking to you. It is helping you sort out and live out pent up issues both past and present. Yes there are some exceptions that do predict or tell the future, but be leery of those who tell you they will predict your future by a single dream or make spooky predictions out of every dream you give them. They could be playing you for money or controll.

As for a dream's impact on the future, you must remember, that the way you work on what is presently at hand, is what determines whether your future is more positive or more negative. Your dreams often give clues to help you have a more positive future. That could be where the confusion creeps in - not knowing the difference between a dream helping to create a better future vs. predicting the future, or dream that is giving you a warning. Again, dreams do sometimes predict or warn, but getting to caught up in predictions or being "mystical' often leads you down the wrong path and into error. Don't make more if it than there really is. Then again don't always underestimate it either.

I have found that over-all the generally taught of methods analyzing you own dreams are lacking in the results they yield. Plus we also have a tendency to make more of our own dreams then are really there. Thus I gradually became more and more technical in my approach. The analysis phase takes longer, but I like the results better. Keep in mind that dreams often have multiple layers of meaning. That means you could go to two different interpreters who give different results and BOTH of them could be correct. It is possible the same person may give you a slightly different result for the same dream a year or even a few months later.

Dreams give insight into yourself. Analyzing dreams can point out things that you noticed or do not like. Best of all anyone can do it, but it is work. Like anything else, it takes time at first, but eventually you will get quicker at it, especially when patterns develop..
