Dream Interpretation
Dreamtime, by definition, is the time of creation in the mythology of the Australian aborigines. According to a reconstruction of their story, dreams were more than just pictures during sleep.
Before time began was the dreamtime, when the forces of creation were active through our great spirit ancestors. The spirit ancestors were not yet segregated into human or animal; they were pure consciousness. All the languages of the natural world -- the languages of trees, of rocks, of celestial bodies, of wind, fire, shadow and seed -- were listened to and understood by our spirit ancestors, who used their knowledge to shape the physical universe. They also shaped our social universe by forging the laws which govern human behavior, in accordance with their experience and modes of being.
Dreams themselves, by definition, are a series of thoughts, images or emotions occurring during sleep. They are a state of mind marked by abstraction or release from reality.
Anything can happen in a dream. There are no constraints with time, space, or content. Physical laws do not apply in the dream world.
From a psychological perspective, dreams are important because it is a time when your subconscious attempts to reveal aspects of your waking life. Sometimes we go through events that we may not completely understand and our subconscious takes over to help get beyond the confusion. This may be necessary to put issues in the past, grow as a person, and learn lessons for the future.
It is not to say that if you had a fight with your boss at work that you would directly dream about your boss and the fight. This is a possibility, however. More than likely though, a dream will occur where there may be other types of images, conversations or settings that on the surface have nothing to do with your boss or that fight. If you look deeper into the dream you may actually find the underlying reason for the fight in the first place. You just need to know how to interpret that dream!
As the Aborigines believed, dreams are not only images but can also be a great divination tool. Dreams occur in different fashions; there are several different types of dreams, ways of harnessing the energies from these dreams, and ultimately a way to control what is happening in them.
Interpreting and understanding the dream is the first step to control it. Defining what category the dream falls in (what type of dream it is) is necessary for interpretation. For example, anxiety dreams are just that. When one is worried about something to a great extent, a dream is sure to occur. That dream is directly representative of that anxiety. However, it could have a completely different meaning under a different category.
