Even though dream interpretation has a realm of flow that stems from a supernatural source, there are certain mechanics of the art that will help entry level interpretors to identify the important symbols. This process is called the Dream Inspection. When one inspects a dream, they are basically dissecting the symbols, actions, adjectives, revelation points, etc. There is actually a chart which will soon be able to be purchased from this website to help the process of interpretation at home.

One of the points that will need to determined is if there is a conflict in the dream. If so, one should identify what kind of conflict it is and chart it’s progression. Not every dream has a conflict, but many times the conflict can be hidden below the surface. One form of conflict is called Protagonist versus Personal Ideology.

Many people find their dreams in this category. The dreamer is often awakened stunned by their actions in their dream. Although the dream might trouble the dreamer, this dream is not something to be troubled by. These dreams are revealing something that is in the heart of the dreamer. When dreamers share about these experiences, their descriptions almost always contain some of the phrases listed below:

• “I can’t believe I did that”
• “I don’t know how to do that in real life”
• “It was weird of me to respond that way, because I never do”

Some examples of these types of dreams are:

• Sexual encounters with someone outside of one’s normal sex life
• Actions that would be considered immoral and/or unethical by the dreamer
• Evil actions such as murder, stealing, etc.
• Passive, out of character actions such as overlooking or ignoring a loved one

The point of these dreams is to speak to the character or ideology that the dreamer may have. A dream in which one is having sex with someone they “shouldn’t be having sex with” does not mean they should go out and have sex with that person!Instead, it means that there could be a personal ideology of intimacy or vulnerability with that person. A dream where one is chasing another with a weapon in order to kill them does not endorse violent actions! It is speaking about one’s heart toward another and warning them to calm their heart because they are really hurting another person.
