Where Good Dreams Turn BadDream Interpretation of Places in your Dreams [part 2]
Posted on June 17, 2010Dream Interpretation of Places in your Dreams [part 2]
In our waking life, we go to places for a reason. We go to the cinema to watch a film (and possibly to hold hands with our date), we go to the park to take the day off and play a ballgame with friends (or ogle good-looking people), we go to the beach to dig our toes in the sand and take a dip in the waters (or again, ogle good-looking people). There is always a reason, one way or another.
In these days of busy lifestyle, few of us waste time going to places where we have no business. Which is why we should be thankful that when we dream, we have the luxury of going to places we have never been before.
And, just as in our waking life, it follows then that the places we go to in our dreams have an underlying meaning as well. Below is part two of dream interpretations of venues you find yourself in during your sleep.
Desert
Ordinarily, deserts are barren and lonely places. In a dream, they imply a state of being lost and wanting to arrive home or be found. But the great spaciousness and emptiness of the desert landscape can also be beneficial; it signals a silence and meditation your life may be needing.
Airplane
Airplanes symbolize flight, freedom, and escape from the mundane. So if you dream of being in an airplane, whether or not you have a fear of heights, it just means you need to face those fears of the unknown and be thankful for their possibilities. If you dream of being the pilot, then this is a good sign: it is an undertaking and journey which you have taken complete control of.
Backyard
Backyards are fenced-in spaces outside our houses which we don’t want neighbors to see, or intruders to trespass. Thus, to dream of sweeping in a backyard, for instance, means you want to cleanse that part of you which you fear is laid bare to the public.
Bridge
Crossing a bridge means an inevitable transition in your life, a shift in lifestyle, belief, location, relationship, etc. Observe the sturdiness of the bridge, or if it shakes under your weight. Also, look at the water below if it’s calm or treacherous, or if it is an abyss instead. All these are signs of your readiness to cross over.
Church
Church are obviously holy places, which in a dream means you are reevaluating your life and want to lead a more spiritual one. Dreams of being inside a church always is a sign of good luck. An alternative interpretation is that you are questioning authority in your life, as churches and religion in general operate on authority.
Kitchen
Kitchens in dreams evoke either hunger, not just for physical nourishment, but spiritual as well. If you dream of yourself cooking in a kitchen, filling the room with a warm, inviting aroma, it just means you are taking an active role in your life.
Hell
We all have our personal versions of hell, and it does not necessarily have to be the commonly-thought of underground place with burning sulfur and demons with spears. If you dream of being in a hellish place, you could be feeling guilt from a sin you may have committed, or else, it is a premature punishment you are imposing on yourself, even if you haven’t really done anything wrong in the first place. Hell is a place of self-censorship, so take it easy on yourself.
Hospital
It depends whether you are the one confined in a hospital, or you are only visiting a sick friend. Hospitals in dreams are signs that make us aware of our mortality, and of course, our health. Also, a sense of authority and properness operates inside a hospital (uniforms, schedules, SOP’s, dosages, doctor’s orders, etc), and your little visit there in your dream implies a confrontation with authority you might be avoiding or looking forward to.
Field
Is it a barren field, or a lush green one? To dream of spacious fields imply a whole world of possibilities and potential for you, as if the ground is all prepared for new plantings. Then again, the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” can also come into play here.

Dream Interpretation and Ways to Make the Most Out of your Dreams
Posted on June 15, 2010Dream Interpretation and Ways to Make the Most Out of your Dreams
A dream that is not interpreted is like a letter that has not been opened.
—from The Talmud.
We are living in a dream-deficient society, to borrow a term from Nancy Grace, a teacher of the dream phenomenon since 1989. Ours is a society that talks about dreams only when they are interesting, that is when they are nightmares or movie-ish. Otherwise, we have become content with just waking up for the day, easing back into our routine work life, and not minding interpreting our dreams and what they are trying to tell us, just letting them accumulate– a treasure box of letters forever unopened.
Dream Interpretation Unlocks Metaphors
Not remembering our dreams is also like having a conversation but remembering only the nice grand parts of it, while missing the subtle details and nuances that make dreams more meaningful.
Here are five ways to make the most of your dream and dream interpretation then:
1. Keep a dream journal or diary. Make it a habit to write down your dreams of night before. Do this right away upon waking up; don’t trust yourself that you can remember your dream later in the day. As an exercise, this may sound tedious, but it’ll grow on you. You’ll be amazed to read about your dreams after a month, two months, a year.
2. Discuss your dream with your family, friends, or loved ones. There is an irreplaceable feeling of relief and liberation in being able to share your dreams with people who know you. They might offer their own versions of dream interpretation, helpfully adding to the rich layer of meanings in it.
2. Write a poem, or a song, or even make a film out of your dream.
Musicians like Paul McCartney, Johnny Cash, Sting, and Shawn Colvin all write songs inspired by their dreams. Painter Joan Miró would deliberately deprive himself of sleep, sometimes for several days, just to inspire himself to paint wondrous characters and sceneries that have percolated in his head. As a matter of fact, the Surrealist movement utilised the fantasies of their dreams for inspiration. (Think of Dali’s melting watches and clock.)
4. Don’t be afraid or shy to consult a dream interpreter or even a psychic. If you don’t feel comfortable discussing your dream with your loved ones, especially when they are included in the dream, then a total stranger may be the better person to interpret it. Oftentimes, the best dream interpretation come from people who don’t know you, and, thus, are able to take an objective point of view from your dream.

Posted on June 14, 2010What do your dreams mean?
What do your dreams mean? This has not been clearly answered by science yet. It is possible that they are a means of exercising the brain and still function effectively. Some scientists argue that the dream is a way to categorize and “file” the things that have not been sufficiently addressed in the day. That would explain why daily events so often become a part of this dream nights.
Dreaming seems necessary. In experiments, people were prevented from dreaming being awake whenever they began, as evidenced by their REM or “rapid eye movement”, which accompanies the dream. This seems to cause mental distress, although this has often been shown in nothing more than increased attempts to dream. This awakened an equal number of times, but at random, does not seem to suffer much.
We may need to dream, but we do not know why, and we could argue endlessly about the meaning of the content of our dreams. However, despite this ignorance most of what it means to dream, we know that there are ways that we can use our dreams. A couple examples follow.
mean Dreams Entertainment
You can occasionally reminds me of a dream you had that was better than most movies you have seen. Sometimes you can not even feel like waking from a dream, because it is so nice. Maybe you wish you can have more dreams like these.
You can, for waking up in the dream and take control. Will you fly over the lake? Or join the party? You can send your dream if you know you’re in a dream. It’s the idea behind lucid dreaming.
Is it effective? Many swear that they are aware and regularly checks on their dreams. I had more of a dream where I was talking with someone that we were in a dream (and of course it turned out to wake up). Without getting into an argument about what consciousness is, it is still easy to see how much fun these “controlled dreams” maybe.
A common way to induce lucid dreams is to have a “trigger” that reminds you that you are dreaming. This trigger can be any common object that you’re likely to see in a dream. If you choose a clock, for example, whenever you see one, you say “I’m dreaming right now and can do what I want.” Once this habit, you’re likely to say when you see a clock in a dream, then “wake up” the fact that you are dreaming. Then you can take control and have fun.
Dreams mean a chance to solve problems
I had a number of good ideas come in dreams. In fact, many pages of my website began as a dream. For creative ideas and solve problems in your dreams, try some of the following.
1. Make a mental work in the area you want ideas or a solution. Think about it, write some notes down, and consider solutions. This work signals the brain that the subject or problem is important, it will continue to work on below the consciousness.
2. Turn off the alarm. If you wake up naturally, you’re more likely to remember your dreams.
3. Keep a recorder or a pen and paper beside your bed. Write down ideas you have if you wake in the night, especially when you wake in the morning.
4. Lay still when you wake up, and review of your dreams. This process “sets” them in your mind, do not forget so easily. You can think back to them later, to search for useful ideas.
These techniques are not yet scientifically “proven”. However, after having had lucid dreams, I can say that they are at least entertaining. Also, after using many techniques to get good ideas of dreams – and always with more success than when I do nothing – I am convinced that there is some value in this game of our dreams, whether or not we ever fully understand what it means to dream.
An Introduction to Dreams
Posted on June 12, 2010An Introduction to Dreams
What are dreams? And what kind of dreams do you have? For everybody, every night that we shut our eyes and begin to let the mind take over, we have a series of passing thoughts that form a vision. These are our dreams. Most of the times, our dreams don’t make too much sense to us.
Have you ever had a dream where you were walking in the middle of the day in the city? The scene was bright and sunny and people walked nearby you going to wherever they needed to go. Everything is going fine, then suddenly, you feel a rumbling sound. People start shouting, the ground is shaking, the cement is splitting and you find yourself running for your life. But there’s nowhere to go. You feel cement rising, and now you’re 10 feet above the ground, 20 feet above the ground, 30 feet above the ground, you lose your balance, and you fall….
Then you wake up. “It was just a dream,” you pant. Your body still feels tense and you rub your eyes looking at the clock. It’s only 5:30 AM… You go back to sleep hoping… that you won’t have the same dream.
We all have weird dreams like this not knowing why exactly caused this type of emotionally experience. There are happy dreams that make us feel good. There are dreams that fulfill our needs and wants in reality. There are dreams that unlock our deepest, secrets thoughts that are never expressed in public. There are dreams that make us miserable or depressed. There are dreams that haunt us from the past.
Sometimes, we want to stay in our dreams because we would rather enjoy the experience there than face wake up and face reality. Other times, we try our best to limit the dreaming experience because we feel like it’s a waste of time. Nevertheless, dreams can be an important factor in learning more about our intuitions and help us relate more to our mind, body, and spirit.
So how are dreams interpreted and who has touched upon these issue of what they mean? Dreams have dated back generations ago when mankind first drew scriptures on stones, symbolic of different events that foreshadow the past, present, or future in some way. When further development and intrigue came to place, man has always wanted to know about their meaning and how they affect not only their lives, but society in general.
Man has tried seeking these answers from shamans, medical practitioners, religious consultants, fortune tellers, and experts in the occult field. Some of these people told man what he wanted to know. But as time moved forward, the answers that man often seemed to get were pertained to some mysterious knowledge or secret or supernatural powers.
Many dream books were written in the future about this experience we have during our sleep, but the language was often difficult to understand unless one was in depth with the occult, supernatural language. It was to say, that most of these dream books did not have much solid evidence in them and the people who written them used them more as a “psychological way” to help human beings that who had troubles with their very existence, hoping that their dreams would review a better and richer future.
It wasn’t until Sigmund Freud started to associate our dreams with sexual symbols and sexual meanings; that sexual problems that people had in real life were often linked in our deepest dreams. Other psychologist like Carl Jung, used Freud’s meaning to come up with more associations of dreams, including the non-sexual nature of dreams, the environmental pressures of real life, the individual characteristics or personalities of people, and even psychic elements of people.
Nowadays, dreams can be interpreted in many different ways not only through psychologist, but through ordinary people that have extraordinary dreams such as dreams that foretell the future or dreams that feel psychic.
So how many dreams do you remember back from you were a kid, or better yet, since you were born? What do they mean? How do they relate to our waking existence? How do we know that there is an existence of reality around us when we lose our consciousness during those very moments under sleep? What can dreams tell us about our past, the present, and the future? And finally, what can dreams tell us about us? I hope to explore these elements with you and help you understand the different types of dreams we have in our daily experiences in the upcoming blog posts.

Hear the Voice of God : Dreams and Dream Interpretation

Dreams and Dream Interpretation

What is a Dream?
Dream is defined as a sequence of images that passes through a sleeping person, much like a video show except that it also carries some personal emotions. Everyone have dreams but most people do not know that their dreams do have significant impact on their real life. Dream serves to warn, instruct, direct, and foretell future events in a person’s life.
Are dreams significant in a person’s life?
Dreams are the messages of the night. It is also called visions of darkness, because it is during deep sleep that our inner soul becomes sensitive to the spiritual realm. The messages in the dreamscape contain symbols which are specific to the dreamer and so a dream dictionary can not be accurately applied for any serious dream interpretation.
Dreams can truly benefit the recipient only when it is properly interpreted. Some dreams occur from having too much activity during the day and it only reflects our mood, this kind of dream does not carry any significant messages. There are however, certain dreams which bring us warning of future events in our life and these are prophetic dreams and we should pay special attention.
Types of Dreams
There are basically 3 major types of dreams.
Type I is the carnal dreams that come from the internal soul of the person. . Past troubles which we have not properly dealt with can manifest fear, anger, and sadness and caused recurring dreams.
Type II is the Spiritual Prophetic dreams which is sent by God to foretell the future. This type of dream almost always speaks about the future and they are very important to us.
Type III is the dream we get when we are hyper active during the day. This type is more confusing and leads to disturbed sleep since they are haphazard and disjointed.
How are dreams interpreted?
In the bible, Proverbs 18:16, “A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great.”
Dreams Interpretation is a gift, it can not be easily learnt in a class setting, but it however can be imparted by a spiritual mentor. Impartation refers to the spiritual laying of hands upon the person and saying a prayer over them.
Dream is a form of divine communication that connect God with to us since God promised to tell his servant what is to come. Dream is a more complete system of authentic communication because it is a four dimensional message, it contains events, people, feelings and words or symbols. Dream can not be intercepted as in any man made device.
The dreams are interpreted much the same as the instantaneous flow of prophetic utterance, meaning given by the Holy Spirit. Peace with assurance that comes from the Holy Spirit will be the only guidance that ascertains the truth. In the book of Hosea 12:10, the bible says “I have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets.” This refers to prophetic dreams. Although anyone can claim that they can interpret dreams, the difference between true and false interpretation is that the truth will come to pass.
Philippines 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
1Corinthian 14:33, “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.”
JOSEPH THE KING OF DREAMS
Joseph’s first dream was about rising high above his brothers. Joseph’s second dream of rising was about his brothers and parents paying homage to him. God had prepared Joseph to interpret Pharaoh’s dream.
When God sends you two dreams on the same matter, it will surely come to pass without fail. The bible says that a matter must be established by two unchangeable facts; Matthew 18:16, 2 Corinthians 13:1 and Deuteronomy 19:15.
So why did God favor Joseph? Joseph honored his father Jacob and was obedient and trustworthy so he was chosen to be trained in God’s school of adversity. He was told by God what will happen to Egypt. Knowing is only half the solution without the how to solve it, knowledge is useless. God does not give us a warning and then we are to pray about it, in fact, we are to order our life around the dream so that we will not be affected by any crisis.
Joseph’s Interpretation of Dreams
Someone’s problem becomes our promotion and God’s making us famous by marketing us to the key people in the world.
Joseph’s first dream interpretation for the Cupbearer and the Baker in Genesis 40:1, was a preparation for him to meet the most powerful man in Egypt. Joseph’s second dream interpretation regarding the Pharaoh’s two different dreams; one about the corns and the other about the cows was God’s divine plan to exalt Joseph over Egypt. God caused Pharaoh to have those dreams.
Only the anointed one from God is able to answer this riddle. And only Jesus Christ is the baptizer of the Spirit and only Jesus can authenticate a gift and since it’s a gift, not all people are called to be interpreter of dreams. My people suffer from the lack of knowledge, Hosea 4:6. But God said in 1 Corinthian 2:9, “However, it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.”
Finally, dream Interpretation is a spiritual gift, and if you have a dream you should consult reputable Christians of the same faith. I pray that you will have divine messages of the night from our Lord Jesus Christ. If you need your dreams to be interpreted you can check out my website at www.kingscepter.com and send me your dreams at prophet3333@yahoo.com. Please indicate the title of your email as dream interpretation. God bless you all.

Posted on April 05, 2010Hey and welcome to the revamped Bad-Dreams.com. What causes bad dreams? Do you have stress in your life, and don’t talk to family or friends about it? Do you have any hobbies like yoga, painting, or swimming to clam you? What has been going on in your life since the bad dreams began? Have you been taking any new medications? Has there been any huge stressful changes in your life such as a death in the family?
Do you take drugs or alcohol at night? Nightmares are made from that stuff! Here are three pointers to stop bad dreams: 1) exercise regularly because it helps maintain your body clock and sleep patterns; 2)
Shut off the light at the same time each night and setting your alarm for the same time each morning; 3) Don’t use your bed as a setting for doing homework, eating, watching TV, or reading.
