Dream Interpretation — The Ability Can Be Cultivated

Question:
What do you do when you are most of the time not able to interpret your dreams? I am having all these vivid dreams that often include dream symbols from the Dream Dictionary and still can’t figure out what they are telling me. I am writing them down and meditate on them to signal my subconscious — ‘I am listening’. Is there a way to become better at dream interpretation? The experience of not being able to interpret my dreams is painful and frustrating.

The Seer:
The ability can be cultivated. It requires energy, and resistance to life drains your energy. So the more your life becomes one of surrendered trust, the more energy you will have to remember your dreams. Remembering the details that surround the primary dream symbols in your dream, can help guide your interpretation of them. For instance, you may dream that you have messed red paint on your hands. The dream symbol dictionary may interpret red hands as aggressive actions that have unpleasant consequences (paint is messy and hard to clean up). The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of red hands is being caught red-handed. This differs from the book’s interpretation. But because your subconscious speaking to you is a very personal thing, your impression is more pertinent than the book’s interpretation. Your dream is saying that you are either going to catch someone red-handedly, or some act you have been keeping secret may be exposed; you may be caught red-handed. This is where remembering the details surrounding the events of the dream becomes important. Whether being caught red-handed applies to you or someone else, will be revealed by the surrounding details.
