RE: Steemit Vision Quest: Catch The Dream
I need to make one now. I can remember over half of my dreams & always analyze the symbolism within. I find the study of interpreting dreams very interesting, I studied Sigmund Freud & Carl Yung when I was younger whether folk think they were quackers or whatever, they were interesting fellows for their era.
I will leave a link for you here to a site I use to help analyze dreams just in case you or your readers would like to elucidate further.
It covers lots of common dream symbolism & an insight into the psychology behind our sub conscious.

Thanks for the link! That is a cool site. I worry about people who take those interpretation guides to be some kind of Bible... I looked up what seeing a dreamcatcher means and while their interpretation makes sense, it was not what was going on with me when I had the dream mentioned. We have to get comfortable in the dreamscape so we can have some sense of what the dream means on our own. No one knows our minds better than we do, IF we stop long enough to look around in there!
Literature is just a tool for learning in my opinion, I don't profess anything I know to actually be a fact, It's all subject to change at a moments notice. Theories come & theories go, everyone thought Newton had gravity licked until Einstein came along & upset the apples.
Here's what Sigmund had to say, I think this is very clever...

Eh, never really cared for the old pervert myself. He thinks everything is about sex. I have had several dreams that were communication across dimensions. I am sure he would call me crazy. The feeling is mutual... ;)
As a personality judgement you have Sigmund's number there, You left out cocaine addict & how good can anyone be at psychology when they take their own life right?
I think that article is very clever not because of the author but because of the originality of the thinking behind the human dream psyche, Nb I say clever not fact. A learned person is a fool if they think they are full of facts, they aren't, They have been deemed competent to follow instruction & pass an exam on it. 'I have some pretty certificates that were difficult to earn' is a fact. What else is a fact is very open to interpretation & subject to change at a moments notice. theories come & theories go, everyone thought Newton was right until Einstein came along.
:) And Wal Thornhill et al are proving Einstein was not really so smart either, but it will be a few generations before the plebes are taught the newer more accurate information...
I'll go have another read, I saw Freud and sort of glazed over...
I can forgive anyone for glazing over a quack like Freud, He was an ass of a man.
