Dream and African dream interpretation
Today I want to introduce the following dream interpretation-Please don’t let this work on your psychology – this could be just useful for people who are anxious to know the meaning of their dream .These are some of the African dream interpretation :
If dream that you saw maize= it is a lot of money
If you dream that you a saw a judge= u must be very careful
If dream that you are in front of a judge and he pardon, you will win the judgment
If you dream that you were paralyzed = be prayerful, seek forgiveness
If you dream that you saw a lamp that is so bright = your road will be clear
If you dream that you a dream lamp= it is sign of setback, be prayerful
If you see an handicap in dream = it is bad sign, be prayerful
If you dream that you are rendered handicapped = be careful about being demonized or court matter.
If you dream that you saw a lot of onion = it is good dream
If you dream that you saw pictures= there is tendency for enemy attack.
Now let us look at what dreams are:
The term dream can be defined in two ways, the dream we have in our sleep and those dream of “to be”. In the earlier case dream is required for us make goal on where we are going in our life, then plan and implemented through pursuance as required – I have seen dream come true , e.g. Martin Luther king and of course your new year resolution fall under this , don`t forget to make and and pursue it .
On the later case dream is defined as followed:
A dream is the experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer. The exception is lucid dreaming, in which a dreamer realizes that he or she is dreaming—being sometimes even capable of changing the oneiric reality around him or her and controlling various aspects of the dream, in which the suspension of disbelief is broken. Dreamers may experience strong emotions while dreaming. Frightening or upsetting dreams are referred to as nightmares. The scientific discipline of dream research is oneirology.
Purpose of dream
· There are differing views on what the purpose of dreams may be. Some believe dreams serve no purpose at all, while others believe they can help people understand their subconscious thought possesses to overcome psychological difficulties. · There is a very popular theory that dreams help us solve problems we are currently dealing with in our lives, especially emotional problems. For this reason some people consult a dream dictionary and psychologists may question a patient about their dreams. · Another theory is that dreams are a remnant of our Neanderthal past where they have served as a mental training ground for the daily life and death struggles. · There is also a theory that dreams serve an important role in brain development. Infants, who sleep sixteen to eighteen hours a day, will spend 50% of this time dreaming.
· Related is another belief that dreaming is a kind of “clearing out the software” or simply cleaning out the day’s accumulation of emotional stress, though, very little that we dream about has to do with our daily lives. There is the “day residue,” the tiny bit leftover from our waking moments and named by Freud, but other than that small section our dreams have no base in actual, and sometimes even possible/real events.
· This leads to another theory that dreams are simply a made up story that have no purpose, physiologically or psychologically. Simply because we are thinking beings doesn’t mean that all forms of our thought have functions. This is upheld by the fact that the average person only remembers about 1% of the four to six dreams they have per night.
Psychodynamic interpretation of dreams: Both Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung identify dreams as an interaction between the unconscious and the conscious. They also assert together that the unconscious is the dominant force of the dream, and in dreams it conveys its own mental activity to the perceptive faculty. While Freud felt that there was an active censorship against the unconscious even during sleep, Jung argued that the dream's bizarre quality is an efficient language, comparable to poetry and uniquely capable of revealing the underlying meaning. Fritz Perls presented his theory of dreams following the holistic nature of gestalt therapy. Dreams are seen as being projections of parts of oneself. Often these are parts that have been ignored, rejected or even suppressed. One aim of gestalt dream analysis is to accept and reintegrate these. The dream needs to be accepted in its own right - not broken down and analysed out of existence. Supernatural interpretations of dreams: Oneiromancy, prediction of the future through the interpretation of dreams, holds great credence in ancient Judeo-Christianity: in the Tanakh, Jacob, Joseph and Daniel are given the ability to interpret dreams by Yahweh; in the New Testament, divine inspiration comes as a dream to Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary, when the Angel Gabriel spoke to him in a dream and told him that the baby Mary was carrying was the Son of God. After the visit of the Three Wise Men to them in Bethlehem, an angel appeared to him and told him to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt for their safety. The angel appeared again in a dream to tell him when it was safe to return to Israel. The story of Saint Patrick and his conversion of the people of Ireland also feature dreaming. When Patrick was enslaved in Antrim he was told by God in a dream that there was a boat waiting in Wicklow to bring him back to his homeland.
Recalling dreams- According to Craig Hamilton-Parker, author of Fantasy Dreaming, many people find certain dreams extremely difficult to recall. According to David Koulack in "To Catch A Dream" researchers refer to these types of dreams as "no content dream reports." It is thought that such dreams are characterized by relatively little affect. According to Koulack, factors such as salience, arousal and interference play a role in dream recall and dream recall failure. According to Henry Reed, author of Dream Medicine, a useful technique to improve dream recall is to keep a dream journal. Stephen LaBerge, author of Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, also suggest that you must lie perfectly still as soon as you have awaken from a dream and do not let concerns of the day occupy your mind. It is quite common to not remember much of what you have just dreamt but if you concentrate you may soon enough be able to put bits and pieces together to retrieve the entire dream
Déjà vu - It is also a type of dream, wherein someone dreams about a certain situation, and when that situation arises before them in "real life" that person recalls their dream and that they had already experienced this given situation. In such a situation, this person can recollect that they had had such a vision earlier; somewhere else. Tyler Coulson suggests that a long-term and short-term memory "glitch" is the explanation for Déjà vu, in which the mind plays "strange tricks." Dream incorporation - In one use of the term, "dream incorporation" is a phenomenon whereby an external stimulus, usually an auditory one, becomes a part of a dream, eventually then awakening the dreamer. There is a famous painting by Salvador Dali that depicts this concept, entitled "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate, One Second before Awakening" (1944). The term "dream incorporation" is also used in research examining the degree to which preceding daytime events become elements of dreams. Recent studies suggest that events in the day immediately proceeding, and those about a week before, have the most influence (http://www.asdreams.org/2003/abstracts/genevieve_alain.htm).
This is not the same as true deja vu, however, where no dream or actual event in the past, or any other explanation for the eerie sensation of having gone through this situation before, can be thought of by the victim.
