Anybody can interpret dream? and what did you dream today?

Castout · 11-21-10, 01:16 AM

Ok if anybody can help me
I had this dream today.

I was in a sort of old stadium made with rocks with a lot of other people which I think I’m familiar with. There were more than 20 or 30 of us and perhaps they are members of my church but I'm not sure.

Then we began to spot eagles flying past the stadium. I saw quite a number of them, mostly quite big and with wide wings flying over. As each passed I celebrated and rejoiced at the sight. All of them were golden eagles(dark brown in colors). One flew with shredded pieces of cloth still attached to its feather

Then I remember patting one in my hands for a very short time but when I looked at some other people what they got in their hands was not eagles but chickens.

I also saw three eagles who were sitting side by side on the ground and becoming fat and ugly because they wouldn’t want to fly and stayed in the stadium instead. Nobody was holding them though they didn’t appear to belong to anybody and that was the last thing I saw in my dream.

I don’t believe every dream has a meaning but if this one has one and you think you have the wisdom of interpreting pls do tell me. Thanks.

Serious or otherwise LOL

According to dream moods dictionary at http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

STADIUM

Quote:

To see or dream that you are in a stadium, represents your determination to succeed and achieve your goals. You need to be more active, aggressive, and bold.

EAGLES

Quote:

To see an eagle in your dream, symbolizes nobility, pride, fierceness, freedom, superiority, courage, and powerful intellectual ability. It also represents self-renewal and your connection with your spirituality. You will struggle fiercely and courageously to realize your highest ambitions and greatest desires.

CHICKENS

Quote:

To see chickens in your dream, symbolize cowardliness and a lack of willpower. The dream may be a pun on being a chicken or chickening out of some situation. Chickens also represent excessive chatter and gossip. Listen closely to what people may be saying about you or what you are saying about others.

Im no professional, but i do believe that dreams do have a purspose.. even when they dont seem to.

in the context of your dream, it appears that you hold yourself superior to certain individuals that you know or are social with.

the stadium, and eagles in your dreams represent your desire to be successful, and your need to be aggressive and assertive to achieve those goals.

that the eagles were "gold" tells you that your highest ambitions and desire is for wealth through the achievement of your goal.

inferiority in those you are close to or know in a social environment is suggested by the fact that your subconscious mind gave them chickens - a universal symbol of cowardice and inferiority - when you received eagles of gold.

you might be amazed at the accuracy of a color test

Umm that's kind of quite correct actually

Umm the eagles weren't golden in colors they are dark brown or brown. But they are called golden eagles in real life.

i see

GoldenRivet · 11-21-10, 01:41 AM

I might further suggest that the three eagles in the stadium who were growing fat and ugly - represent three people you know well.

these three people indicate that they too have lofty goals and a desire to succeed, but in your waking life - their actions have indicated to you that while they SAY they have a desire to go further and succeed - they are in fact quite contented with their current position and have no REAL intent to go further in life, and it disgusts you.

the question is, what three people do you know in that position?

again, im no specialist.

3 dreams you've abandoned?

. I really don't know. As long as they are not prophetic they are merely an insight to my psyche I guess. And I don't think they are prophetic either.

I really do feel some people from my parish are really not an ideal practicing Christian. They are more afraid of powerful people than God thus the chicken would make sense.

That color quiz is quite amazing.

Quote:

Your Existing Situation

Authoritative or in a position of power or leadership. Feels that current difficulties are causing problems and he is unable to progress further. Determined and commanding he strives for his goals despite the obstacles he faces.

Your Stress Sources

"Not a team player and is unwilling to be involved in most activities. In the past he was over involved and now emotionally drained. Due to his fear of over involvement, he now chooses to remain uninvolved with the activities around him. "

Well at least the second part. . .

Introspection and dream interpretation have been a couple of things i have enjoyed dabbling over the last several years.

I visit the dream dictionary weekly almost.

I always had my doubts on interpreting dream "symbols" as long as it are no "great dreams" in Jung's sense of archetypes. And these are rare. And schematically using encyclopedias on normal dream symbols is - well, it puts a smile on my face, but that does not indicate agreement.

If you think your mind is not just redigesting the experiences of your imminent past, but the dream stays on your mind and you think it "means" something:
Find a real person you can talk to and who is in knowledge of how Gestalt-work is dealing with dreams. It makes much more sense. In brief, what you asked for is to deal with your dream as if it were something different from you, that happened to you from the outside, with you and the elements of the dream being separates. Gestalt dreamwork means to understand that all experience of whatever it is, is within us, is made and created by us, and cannot be seen as sepaarte from us. Thus, you do not interpret external symbols, but you identify yourself with every element of the dream, and try to find out what the whole story looks like from that perspective. You do not have dreams: you are dreams.

1. You tell/remember your dream: "I had a dream of person X doing deed Y, in place Z.

2. You make the past the present: "I dream of X doing Y, in Z."

3. You overcome the separation. "I am X , now I am the process of the deed Y taking place, now I am the location Z where it happens."

How does it feel when you are that person? How does it feel to be the process of walking, what does it make you to think? How does it feel to be the road that gets walked on? What kind of road is it? What do you think about the guy walking on you? Where do you, the road, start, where do you lead? Etc etc.

Give every element of the dream - persons, objects, animals - a voice, like in a fairy tale. Identify yourself with every element. In the end, they all are you indeed: it is you dreaming, it is your mind forming these images. And nobody slid a chipcard into your brain with preloaded stuff like standardised dream symbols.

If you would do Freudian dream analysis, you soon would see Mr. and Mrs. Sexus everywhere and in everything anyhow.

Interpreting dream symbols is fascinating and tempting. But most often it is a waste of time, and sometimes even a trap. You need to realise that the dream, every part of it, is you. Your mind does not speak to you as if it were any different from "you". You ARE your mind.

I think of some, reactive diseases, both physical and psychological, the same way, for example if they are stress-induced. People have no depressions - they ARE the depression. They have no cancer - they ARE cancer. Accordingly: you do not get rid of the depression, but yourself is changing. You do not get rid of that cancer, but it is yourself changing.

The last thing I dreamed last night was me researching a paper.... which means I probably need to get back to working on my speech.

Usually I can't even remember what I dreamed a few minutes after I wake up, and even while waking up I can feel myself forgetting what I just dreamed

GoldenRivet · 11-21-10, 09:56 AM

I have had dreams where dream interpretation made a lot of sense. Dreams filled with symbology of successes and failures.

What really gets me is "prophetic" dreams. I don't have them with great frequency, but these dreams are an exact prediction of future events. Of course you don't immediately know that until some weeks or months later when you are experiencing verbatim the very thing you dreamt of.

Those moments when you think "whoa... I dreamed this last week"

Skybird · 11-21-10, 11:46 AM

Too often I have seen, heared of, read about people doing a random interpretation of their dream, which of course was not "objective", but made them believe it were, and so they ran into the trap of self-fulfilling prophecies.

And the "boah, I dreamed about this last week", or deja vu experince, it has been shown that it is possible - and that it actually happens - that it is a time-discrepancy in the synchronisation between both brain halves. This can be the case both towards simple visual stimuli, and longer, more complex cognitive representations on your mind. Both eyes'S retina for examplehave different optical nerve channels to the two sides of the brain, the part of the retina that is located towards the skull'S outside is linked to the bain-half on that side, while the inner helf of the retina is linked to the brain half on the other side of the skull. If visual stimuli is presented to the eye in a way that both eyes transfer the optical data to just one side of the brain, and only with a delay to the oder side as well, it can happen that you have a situation where the onje side of the brain for a moment does not know what the other side is doing and processing. WShen you relaise that you see something and attrubute your meaning and labels to what yoiu have seen, actually parts of the brain already have had that inpout s short while before - and you end up in a situation where your brain fools itself by letting you think: what I have seen now, I have dreamed of short time before.

Deja vu experience can be explained in other ways, too, but this is one of the most simple-structured explanations.

I do not say that people cannot have a sixth sense, prophetic visions, etc, actually I am convinced, for certain reasons, that these things exist. I just think that it is much, much rarer than it is often said. I think these things are more prominent amongst children, and the skill, gift, habit or whatever you think it is then gets lost or covered by adult's cognitive patterns. It is nothing superstious or supernatural, becasue if it exciosts, it is part of reality, and thus it cannot be supoernatural, but only can be linked to a part of reality that so far we have not understood or recognised correctly.

If you want to interpret symbols and examine how they fit into your life and have a meaning for you, do it in a more standardised way than just random dream symbols: use a system like Tarot cards, for example. Actually, in a context of councelling in life and spiritual questions, it is a method that I even would recommend. But possible that I use Tarot cards differently and less mechnaically/schematically than it is being described in most Tarot books. I used to combine again Gestalt work, and the way Rachel Pollack approached Tarot in her superb books. If you want to read and learn about Tarot cards, Rachel Pollack is the name to watch out for.

On a curious side note, years after I stumbled over these books by Pollack, I personally met and held a seminary with the translator of her first two books into German, at university. He was assistant to the prof who supervised my diploma work and one of my practice terms.
