Blessed are those who understand dreams and are wise
Blessed are those who understand dreams and are wise
The colorful dream world has brought us a lot of interesting things. Let us become a tourist who can sleepwalk the world without spending a penny, so that we can travel anywhere we dream.
In addition to feeling the magical content that dreams bring us, we also want to have more understanding of dreams, and hope that dreams can bring us more beneficial things.
This is not extravagant, because dreams can give us more things. Dream is our good teacher and friend, understanding it, can enhance our mental health, improve our psychological quality, and even make our whole life change.
Dreams are also receiving external information all the time, analyzing various situations, and through dreams, subconscious 'thoughts' can be conveyed. Its 'ideas' are valuable to us because:
First, at the level of consciousness, the way we think about problems is abstract and generalized, and the observation of things is selective. For example, when we listen to a person speaking, our main focus is on what he is saying. At best, notice if his tone is different, etc. On the subconscious level, the 'primitive man' is like a camera, recording and analyzing every detail of that person, including every word and tone of voice, and every minute action. In this way, any little abnormal action on the other side will attract the attention of the 'primitive man'. In other words, the primitive man's observation of people's things is much more detailed and comprehensive than that of us on the conscious level. So he may find something about us that has been forgotten or neglected.
Second, people are advanced animals, have language, can think, but it is precisely because of these, people have become much more cunning, love to do ugly things under the cover of some beautiful things. Qian Xuesen said such words: lions, tigers and wolves want to eat people, they eat. Never first give some reason why I want to eat you, why you want to be eaten by me. However, people are different. It is clearly a person who harms others, but they still talk about the truth that he eats people in the name of justice and justice. People deceive themselves too much, obviously hate his father, but think of his father has a legacy, need to curry favor, deceive themselves that I have a sense of responsibility, I have filial piety, so I will be so good to him; Obviously feel rich husband is having an affair, but afraid of exposing the truth will be abandoned by her husband, thus losing material comforts, he lied to himself that her husband does not go home is too busy. But inside, the 'primitive man' is more realistic, he knows the truth. Therefore, primitive man can tell us a lot of truth, and urge us to face reality more, not escape reality and solve problems rationally.
Third, the 'primitive man' is closer to the human instinct, it is more aware of its real needs. Due to the influence of some false images and the interference of some ideas, people often do not know what they really want, but blindly pursue some things that everyone in society is pursuing, and can not see the real desire of their own heart.
Dream interpretation may be compared to diving into the sea, diving down from the surface of the water, diving into the depths of the heart, diving into the dark unknown world, from which to get the pearl - this pearl is knowledge and wisdom.
And those who understand dreams will use knowledge and wisdom, so they are blessed people, manifested in:
1. The subconscious mind that can help to improve one's own can also influence one's consciousness, just as we can hear the wind in the woods in our house, autumn insects in the grass can enter the house, and poisonous snakes occasionally creep into the house. Sometimes I wonder, 'What's wrong with me today?' So excited about such a small thing?' These causes are not to be found in consciousness. Because the reason is subconscious. I even thought, 'Why am I so tired today, I don't want to say a word?' In fact, he was angry with many people that day, and he did not realize it, so this anger became a feeling of fatigue. At this time, tired is a false feeling, anger is his true emotion.
Therefore, dreams can reveal the real emotional state and psychological state of people, so as to solve psychological contradictions, resolve emotions, make the right life choice, and make people happy. A high school student often likes to have such a dream:
I often dream of climbing up dangerous ladders, walking on high places, or jumping on high places, and these dreams are accompanied by feelings of fear.
During the day, his life and study are very good, the teacher is also highly valued him, but also valued by the classmates. He did not feel that he had anything to fear. But according to the dream, he was afraid that he would not be able to maintain this superior position, afraid that one day he would stumble and fall to the ground.
You can enlighten him by saying, 'The important thing is not to beat others, not to always be ahead, but to do things well.' The value of a person does not lie in being valued by the teacher and valued by the classmates. If a person builds his value on the opinions of others, it is very dangerous. One should replace the approval of others with confidence. No matter what others think of you, don't try to maintain your high position, but focus on developing yourself and enjoying life.'
For another, there came a time when the high school student found that he no longer dreamed of beautiful gardens. On the contrary, they often dream of amusement parks, dream of playing video games, see their scores get higher and higher, or climb the slide from the bottom up, and so on. He said that the interpretation of dreams made him realize that he had been too concerned about fame for a while, so the world was no longer a garden for him, but a place to decide the victory and defeat. So he adjusted himself so that he did not take external achievements too seriously.
Another example is also about students. When a high school student was studying hard for the college entrance examination, one night he dreamed that he was cut open and his stomach was empty. It shows that his true internal organs, his life force, have been seriously damaged, and that he should relax, combine work and rest, have some recreation, or it will be dangerous. It is said that Yang Xiong, a great writer in the Han Dynasty, dreamed that his stomach was cut open and the five viscera flowed into the ground. As a result, he fell ill and died soon after. If this high school student does not pay attention to adjustment, but also just blindly study hard, at least will be in danger of life.
In our life, we often need to make many choices, such as: choosing a career, choosing a wife or husband, choosing to do something or not and so on. Because there is so much unknowability out there, the choice is both important and difficult. Sometimes the right or wrong choice can affect the happiness of one's life. For example, after we choose which stock to buy, it is impossible to know whether the stock will rise or fall in the future, and how much it will rise, because the economic environment of the country, the policies of stock managers, and the decisions of other shareholders are impossible to fully grasp. When applying for a university, it is difficult to know whether the major will still be popular in four years. Which job do you prefer? What am I supposed to do? Let's wait. Whenever you are faced with this dilemma of choice, the dream will also help you to think carefully and make its choice, and its choice is almost always more correct. This is because the dream is more clear to your heart, it knows what you really want to do, what your real needs are, what your real hopes are. And it can judge the future from many details, just as you can judge the coming of autumn by looking at a leaf blown by the wind. Take a look at the following example:
When a girl is graduating from college, there are two units to choose from, one unit is more famous, the other is slightly smaller, and the treatment is also slightly higher. But the former unit work is more intense, the pressure is greater, the latter is more relaxed. It was difficult for her to decide, and at night she had a dream: she dreamed that there was foreign invasion and enemy planes were dropping bombs. And here she is in a kiln, or a bomb shelter, playing poker with her sister.
This dream is easy to interpret, meaning that if she goes to the previous unit, the status is higher (certainly higher on the ground than in the ground kiln 'status'), but then the tension will attack. If she is in the latter unit, the status is relatively low, but there is no tension, and she can still live comfortably (playing poker means a comfortable and easy life). Between the two, should choose the latter (because in the dream she is staying in the kiln playing cards).
For example, there is a boy who has his girlfriend, but he finds a girl, although not as beautiful as his current girlfriend, but very attractive. He did not know which to choose, and once in a dream he dreamed of two girls, one beautiful, the other has temperament. He analyzed that the two girls represented his girlfriend and another girl whom he had some crush on. In that dream, he had actually made a choice, choosing the classy girl over his girlfriend. If the situation continues to develop and there is no change, then the dream master will have a crisis in love, because he has given up his current girlfriend in his heart, and one day he will give up in behavior.
The dream conveys the message of the 'primitive man,' and in the 'primitive man,' its connection with the world is more direct, like the reaction of a sensitive animal to nature. It is more open to information about the environment. In fact, selection is an operation that depends on known conditions. Referring to the information obtained by the 'primitive man' also means making the known conditions of the operation more complete. The choice made in this way is clearly the right one. Listen to our dreams. They help us make better choices. Here's an example of a dream:
Liu Mei has set a wedding date with her boyfriend. Seeing the day approaching day by day, Liu Mei was actively and tiredly busy preparing, but there was always a dull, uneasy mood in her heart. Maybe she was too tired, or too excited, Liu Mei explained to herself. One night, Liu Mei had this dream:
'I go somewhere with my boyfriend and I'm left alone. I came to a house. It looked big and nice on the outside. But on closer inspection, I saw that the house was made of MATS. At this point I felt very flustered, as if I had done something wrong and someone was coming to arrest me. So I started to run away, terrified as I ran. It was as if my mother was with me, and I asked her in a panic, 'What if I get caught?' Mom said, 'It's a life sentence.' ''
In this way Liu Mei woke up from her dream. The words 'life sentence' kept coming back to her mind.
In fact, this is the 'primitive man' to her hint. 'Primitive man' is to tell Liu Mei his feelings about marriage. The house represents the marriage, in this marriage looks very good on the surface, but in essence, it is not solid (here is symbolized by the mat), look useless, but she will be afraid for herself to discover the truth. If she enters into this marriage, it means that she is like a prisoner and will not be free in the future.
Liu Mei, with the help of psychologists, learned the code words of 'primitive man'. With the reminder of the primitive man, she begins to face up to the marriage she is about to establish, and she finds that the marriage does have many problems, although by ordinary standards, they are a good match. But why are you afraid? She finally realized the source of her fear. She longed for marriage because she was lonely, and because of all kinds of external pressure and her own vulnerability, she felt that she had to escape into the castle of marriage, the result was desperate, she did not dare to investigate this is a warm harbor or a prison for the soul.
So Liu Mei with the 'primitive man' power, courage to break the engagement. And with this exchange with the 'primitive man', Liu Mei has found a sense of the source of her own power.
In fact, the wisdom and strength of the 'primitive man' is always with us. But we are not used to it, nor will we, or even dare to communicate with it. So we still have to pay attention to the letter that the 'primitive man' writes to us, it will be like a parent to a child to point you in the direction.
3. It can improve personality Although different people sometimes have the same dreams, people with different personalities often have different dreams. The following look at several different nature of the dream, through the dream to see the character of this person, the dreamer can improve their own character according to the interpretation of the dream:
For example, people who often dream that they can fly are full of vigor, cheerful and confident. However, this kind of people are often not practical enough, not careful enough. Such people may be talented and praised by people, but they often do things because of laziness and carelessness, resulting in poor work. They are creative and imaginative, but they let themselves go and play idle. Therefore, people who often have such dreams should always remind themselves to do things carefully and carefully, and to be down-to-earth. We must really prevent ourselves from daring to fantasize, and refrain from boasting and pride when dealing with people and things.
'Can fly' also means 'escape from reality through fantasy'. Some people like to have such a dream: 'First, being chased by a terrible thing, and at the critical moment when he is about to be overtaken, the hero suddenly flies up.' Most of the people who have this dream are intellectuals, and their way of dealing with the difficulties of life is to escape. And the way they escape is to indulge in fantasy or indulge in thoughts, and the result is that the person who is outwardly confident is, in fact, just afraid of competition. If the truth of their own character is understood by the interpretation of dreams, these 'flyers' if they know self-acceptance, 'at present I am really this situation, I am not as good and great as I think.' But it doesn't matter. Now that I know more about myself, I have the opportunity to improve my character, and isn't that a good thing?' In this way, on the basis of accepting the reality, he can consciously improve his character. For example, when you find yourself indulging in fantasy, remind yourself: don't think so far ahead, first think about how to do the present thing. When you find yourself escaping difficulties, no matter what reasons you have, you should secretly warn: those reasons are excuses, I should not escape difficulties, should find a way to wear this level. If you do this for a long time, the defective character will change.
For example, people who often dream of desolate scenes are often withdrawn in character. For example, dreaming of a desert, or a barren mountain; To dream of being in an empty house or in a ruin; Dreaming that you become a stone or become a dead person, etc., is a symbol of the lack of vitality of life. This kind of person is generally afraid of contact with reality, afraid of contact with people, only willing to hide in their own fantasy world. What the outside world sees is a false self, a self that lives behind a mask. Because they do not accept the information of external reality and do not show it to the outside world, they slowly wither.
This is a dangerous sign that if they want to strengthen themselves, it is only on their own, struggling to make themselves face reality, express true feelings, and connect with the world. In this way, can make a turn in life.
This kind of person's insecurity is extremely strong, they have a hard time trusting others, and they are easily hurt by others. They choose a loving and careful person as a friend, which will be helpful to their development. If such people understand the truth of their own character through dreams, although they were afraid to contact people before, in order to save themselves, they should force themselves to communicate with others at least every day, force themselves to have the opportunity to talk to friends, in order to avoid themselves into a dead life. Or you can also learn an art, such as painting, music, art, etc., you can express emotions, vent emotions, regulate emotions, if you insist on this for a long time, you can also transform your personality to a good side.
People who often dream of seeing ghosts, dreaming of being chased or dreaming of fighting with others are often paranoid and stubborn. Because of paranoia, they suspect that others are always working against them. He often conflicts with others because of his stubbornness. Therefore the dream of ghosts, that is, the wicked; To dream of being chased and fighting means to be threatened and forced to fight by others.
People who are paranoid and stubborn will also say things like: 'There are a lot of small people around me.' But think about it, why do small people gather around you? As the saying goes, if you want to gain the respect of others, you must first respect others. Therefore, when dealing with people, if you glare at them, they glare back at you. When you treat others as enemies, they will naturally become enemies with you. If you attack others first, they will plot against you. Such a person must let go of his own prejudices and distrust of others if he wants to improve himself.
However, for bigots, because they do not want to take responsibility for themselves, they are willing to blame others when something goes wrong. So, it's hard to get them to trust and treat others well.
The way out for such people is that they must decide to take responsibility for themselves and not blame others, in order to trust and be kind to others, in order to give up prejudice.
To dream that it is difficult to walk on a tortuous, muddy road, or to face the abyss, unable to move forward, or to dream of being scared and unable to move, to dream of failure; Dreaming that others are indifferent to themselves, etc., which suggests that the dreamer has a depressed personality and lacks self-confidence.
This kind of person should often encourage themselves, can use their own previous success stories to guide, say to themselves 'I trust you', 'you are very good' and so on to cultivate self-confidence. Don't mind if you fail. Learning from failure is a surefire way to succeed. Remind yourself that the process is more important than the result. Learn to have fun along the way.
There are also some people who feel very strange about their dreams, and the dream of their own personality is the opposite of their waking self. Some people are very brave, but in the dream they are very timid. Sometimes people who are really good hate others in their dreams. In fact, there is a reason for these contrasts between dreams and reality:
The first possibility is that maybe the real self is disguised, and the dream is the real self. A cowardly person may deliberately make himself appear brave, perhaps in order to overcome his cowardice deliberately to take some unnecessary risks. If this is the case, the dreamer does not have to be deliberately brave in daily life, so as not to increase psychological pressure, but should choose a more suitable for their own lifestyle.
It is also possible that the dream is the opposite of the real personality perhaps because the dream is reminding the dreamer that your personality has developed too much in one direction, and the reality should develop the other side of the personality. For example, brave indeed, it's time to learn how to be discreet. Kindness is good, but you have to face up to your hatred of others and so on. For example, a monk dreamed that he had killed an evil person with a bat, which may mean that he should develop the power of evil in his character, rather than merely affect the evil person with weak goodness.
In short, no matter what kind of personality, if through the guidance of dreams, improve the character of this thing can be done. But we must know the saying: 'the river can change, the nature can not change', that is to say, the character is not easy to change, so do not try to work in a day or two, but should come up with the spirit of fools to move mountains, and constantly do things to transform themselves. I believe that after a relatively long period of time, you will find that your character will be greatly improved.
4. Help Improve relationships Primitive people also judge those around them. Through dream interpretation, we can learn about his judgment, which helps us understand the people around us. You can improve your relationships based on understanding the people around you.
For example, a man had a dream in which two of his friends conspired to kill another friend. He witnessed the murder and decided to expose them.
Prior to this dream, one of the 'murderers' had come to the gentleman and expressed his dissatisfaction with the 'victim' in his speech, suggesting that he would work with the 'other murderer' against the 'victim'. The gentleman did not pay attention at the time, but his subconscious mind paid attention to the matter, and in the evening sent him a letter asking him to inform the 'victim' of the matter.
Because the 'primitive man' is sensitive and careful, he can notice many subtle features and unobtrusive words and deeds of others, and experience can infer their behavior from these small places. We have such experience, sometimes we meet a person for the first time and somehow don't like him, even if we believe that the person is very nice, but in the heart still don't like. This is actually judging the person bad based on some details. These are details we don't usually notice. For example, when a person tells a lie, his pupils shrink. But the primitive man can sense the difference in the eyes caused by changes in the pupils, and when a person is talking to you, the primitive man can sense that he is not reliable. This judgment of 'primitive man' is what we usually call intuition. Most people are reluctant to trust their intuition because it doesn't give a reason, but it turns out that intuition is often right.
There was a man who fell in love with a girl, but he did not know what the other side was like to him, so one night, when he was talking at a class reunion, he found a chance to hint to the other side, but the other side did not pay attention. The next day he found an excuse to go to the female classmate's dormitory to talk, and the topic led to the dream. Then the girl told him about her dream from the night before, which made him overjoyed. It turned out that the dream told him that the girl had been admiring him for a long time.
5. Give the Dreamer peace of mind Some dreams may seem scary on the surface, such as a dream of the death of a loved one. After waking up, the dreamer will worry, afraid that this thing really happened. In fact, the real meaning of dreams is different from the apparent meaning. Dreaming of the death of a loved one is not necessarily a bad omen, sometimes it indicates the disappearance of something that the loved one represents. For example, a recent graduate dreamed that his father had died, and after interpreting the dream, he found that his father had been poor all his life. The dreamer used his father's death to symbolize poverty. Because this day before going to bed, the dreamer got the news that his graduation distribution had been set, and the unit income was very high. The dream, therefore, meant only that 'poverty' was leaving his home, and it was a happy dream.
There are also quite a few people believe that dreams are good or bad omen. So when they dream of bad things, it makes them suspicious and uneasy. Through the scientific interpretation of dreams, they can be relieved of their doubts, and they can also eliminate superstition. It is like a child who sees a white shadow at night, thinks it is a ghost, and is afraid to death. A wise parent will not let the child avoid the white shadow far away, but will take him to see what the white shadow is. Similarly, dream interpretation allows you to see clearly what it is. When we see clearly, superstitions fall apart.
The unknown can easily arouse superstition and fear. When people do not know about lightning, people think it is the thunder Lord in the sky with a big axe, let people go near the thunder or electricity is extremely scary. And when people understand that thunder is the discharge between clouds, people not only no longer mention what thunder, and people also find ways to use their own power generation, so that this once terrible things flow into every family for it. People sleep peacefully next to electricity, without fear, and enjoy the benefits of electricity.
But scary dreams can lead to superstition and fear. It also arouses superstition and fear because people do not understand its meaning. People thought it was a bad omen and would bring disaster. But if you understand the technique of dream interpretation in psychological science, and understand the meaning of your dreams, then it is no more terrible than people understand lightning.
In fact, the dream is only absurd on the surface, but in fact, under the surface meaning of the dream, there is a real meaning that is not absurd at all. Dreams simply transform these meanings into strange dreams by means of symbolism. If we know how to analyze and interpret dreams, we can know the true meaning of dreams. This meaning generally does not predict future fortunes, but is an indication of your current psychological condition, which can let you know your current psychological state, personality, etc., which is of great help to you to improve your psychological condition.
Most scary dreams actually have very good meanings, take a look at one of Ms. Meng's dreams below:
Ms. Meng dreamed of walking across a bridge with her sister. She passed first, and her sister fell behind. The bridge suddenly collapsed and my sister fell into the river. She was frightened and hurried to save her sister. But the river flowed so fast that her sister was caught in the whirlpool and drowned. She burst into tears of grief.
When she woke up, she was worried. Worried that something might really happen to my sister. When the psychologist heard this dream, he said happily, 'That's great, congratulations, I'm happy for you.'
The psychologist was far from gloating; his analysis was well founded. Originally, Ms. Meng was doing psychological counseling, but she did not have a psychological disorder, just hope to improve their character and her husband and wife relationship through psychological counseling. Her character has two sides, one is very independent, the other is very dependent and strong, the main reason for her family conflicts is too strong dependence, so all kinds of problems arise.
Ms. Meng's younger sister has a strong personality dependence. Dream psychologists explain that her dream is not a terrible omen, but in this dream, it is a symbol of the transition from one stage to another, a symbol of her personality will have a greater change. This change is 'Sister fell into the water.'
It is easy to see that the actual symbol of her own personality is similar to that of her sister - strong dependence. The practical meaning of this dream is that her own character will no longer be overly dependent. The dream has nothing to do with the actual sister. The dream just says 'there will be a big change in your character and you will not be so dependent on others.' Although you are not used to it (saving your sister in the dream is not used to losing your old character traits), the change is going to happen.'
It can be seen that a horrible dream is not a harbinger of evil, and there are many similar dreams, look at the following two dream examples: a man dreamed that he killed a person, he went to see the dead man, but found that the dead man was not someone else, but himself. The look of this slain self is ugly.
Another woman dreamed that she was being killed by no one but herself, with a dagger in her chest. She was angry, but the killer said it was just an operation. She dreamed that she was on the ground and the killer was dissecting herself. At this time, she stood by and watched the murderer open his heart, and suddenly she knew that she was not killed.
These two dreams dream of killing people, dead people, indeed very scary, but in fact, like the above dream, the realistic meaning of the dream is very good.
In the first dream, the gentleman himself killed an ugly version of himself. Killing represents the elimination of something, killing an ugly self represents the elimination of some of his own shortcomings, some ugly psychology.
The woman in the second dream 2 herself did not at first understand the kindness of the 'murderer.' Only later did she understand that it was not her that the murderer had killed the anatomy, but the one that should have been eliminated, the sick thing in her character.
In short, when dreamers understand the true meaning of their dreams, they are no longer afraid, even if they have a fearful dream. They will think of the good symbolism of the dream, and then they will feel at peace.
6. Help psychological counseling Because dreams can reflect people's psychology, psychologists often start from dreams to understand and treat people with mental disorders, and practice has proved to be very effective. Let me give you an example.
Zhang Ran this year about 25 or 16 years old, she pale, white skin is also some incongruity, and recently always vomiting for no reason, but she went to the hospital for several physical examination, the results did not find any disease, the psychologist in response to this situation let her tell about her dream:
First she read a comic strip on the floor. This comic strip was not just any comic strip, because the pictures on it moved like movies. The heroine of the story climbed over the top of a wall covered with erected glass sheets, and with her climbed several strange men. Looks like they're trying to steal something. At this time, it seems that they have been discovered, and the heroine also wants to escape with the men. However, the men easily climbed over the wall, but the heroine could not climb over, she looked at them nervously. At the same time, she held a dead baby in her arms.
The dream reflects the crux of the girl's psychological trauma, which is that she wants to 'spit' this feeling out, to get it off her chest.
It is obviously a dream related to loss of body, pregnancy, abortion. The woman in the dream comic book is Zhang Ran himself. This was something she had experienced herself, and she could not admit it, so she projected this unpleasant, painful experience on others.
According to Zhang Ran herself, she has had deviant behavior with men. 'Climbing over the wall to steal something' refers to deviant behavior, while 'erect glass pieces' symbolize penis and sexual intercourse, there will be 'danger', and when danger comes, the man 'easily' walks away, while the woman stays in danger. What kind of danger is it? A woman holds a dead baby in her arms. It's a symbol of abortion. Pregnant and abortion, the result is a 'dead baby', the analysis can be said here 'dream'. The girl, Zhang Ran, had sex with someone, but she was the only one to bear the consequences of the pregnancy and abortion. And this period of humiliation and dare not talk to others, so this fear, helplessness, make her like a stick in the throat. So her reaction was to vomit, and she desperately wanted to get it off her chest and live easy ever after.
Psychological doctor through the dream to realize the girl difficult to talk about things, and then through the way of good guidance finally let her psychological that knot to unravel, listen to the psychiatrist's words, the girl felt relaxed a lot, with the help of psychological doctor, she finally brave to face that thing, and put it well, buried, She finally got over yesterday.
It can be seen that some dreams are very important, it often reflects the deeper psychological content of the dreamer, and the interpretation of dreams itself can be used as a way of psychological counseling and treatment, so in any case, you should try it, because it is really worth trying, and only if you have tried, you will really know how to use it.
