Well, I’ve always been into dream interpretation, especially when it comes to dreams about funerals. So, I decided to figure out some ways to understand these kinds of dreams better. Here’s my journey.
Step 1: Keep a Dream Journal
I started by getting a notebook and keeping it right next to my bed. Every morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was grab that notebook and write down everything I could remember about my dream. I mean, it was a bit of a hassle at first. Sometimes I’d be half – asleep, trying to scribble down the details. But it was worth it. I wrote down who was at the funeral, what the atmosphere was like, whether it was sad or kind of peaceful. For example, one time I dreamt there was a funeral in a big, old church, and the sunlight was coming through the stained – glass windows. By writing these things down, I was able to see patterns over time. According to some experts, about 80% of people can recall more details of their dreams when they keep a journal regularly.
Step 2: Analyze the Symbols
After I had a bunch of dream entries in my journal, I started to look for symbols. In a funeral dream, things like the coffin, the flowers, and the people present can all mean something. I looked up what these symbols usually stand for in dream dictionaries. For instance, a coffin might represent the end of a phase in my life. And the people at the funeral? Well, if it was someone I knew, it could be related to my relationship with them. If it was a stranger, it might be a part of myself that I’m not fully aware of. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it really got me thinking. I spent hours poring over my journal, trying to make sense of all these symbols.
Step 3: Consider My Emotions
The last step was to think about how I felt during the dream. Did I feel sad, scared, or maybe even relieved? One time I dreamt about a funeral and I felt this strange sense of relief. That got me thinking that maybe there was something in my life that I was ready to let go of. I talked to a friend who’s into this dream stuff, and they said that our emotions in dreams are super important clues. They can tell us a lot about what our subconscious is trying to tell us. So, I sat down and really thought about how I felt in each dream I wrote down.
Through these three steps, I’ve been able to understand my funeral dreams a lot better. It’s been a wild ride, but it’s also been really interesting to peek into my subconscious mind. If you’re into dream interpretation, give these steps a try!
