HOW TO USE THESE SYMBOLS : This web site contains
many definitions each of which has a list of Key words and phrases. Look carefully
through these are they are keys to understanding the symbolic meaning of your
dream. This is the definition for DESERTS.
DESERT : Growth and plant life in dreams can link to several things
but above all it symbolises ways in which you are developing and how something
is increasingly meaningful in your life. It may refer to a relationship or
to ideas that are healthy within your mind right now. Deserts, however, are
not as positive and they signify that something has recently(usually the day
before) become a lot less meaningful and important to you.
KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :
- "there is no real feelings there"
- "I just do not enjoy it at all"
- "he doesn't really love me"
- "a lack of real meaning to the things I am doing"
Read through the definition and take special note of the KEY WORDS.
COMPILING A LIST OF QUOTES : Now we need to compile a list of quotes
that attempt to capture the feelings inside you at present. Write down a series
of quotes such as
"I think my leg is getting better and I may be able to start jogging
again"
"I had an interesting conversation with a complete stranger yesterday
and it made me think of my childhood"
"I should maybe try to be more sociable with my new supervisor. That
will probably improve my situation"
"I have a lot to do tomorrow and have some ideas about how to make things
easier"
"I sense something is wrong with my girlfriend. The relationship seems
as if it lacks meaning right now. Maybe I should do something romantic"
"I watched a great TV show last night about cowboys - I would love to
be a cowboy"
That is actually quite a long list. But it covers all the types of feelings
that dreams are linked to. Dreams can link very much with the things that
happened the previous day - odd little incidents that stuck in your mind.
Also think of decisions involving your intuitional judgment. Think of things
that you are learning or your strategy towards some task such as writing a
report. Health matters can be important and changes in our health status may
easily be the subject of a dream. Think also of anything long term changes
affecting your future. In short think about what has been on your mind and
in your mind. Even fantasies and paranoias may cause dreams.
USING THE LIST : Now you have your quotes look through the words and
phrases sections of each definition and see if any of words or phrases can
apply at all to your own emotions. If you take a general look at the KEY WORDS
for deserts you will see that they generally link to feelings that lack meaning
in some way. Look through the quotes which capture your feelings and see see
in what ways any of those key words apply.
You will see that the best fit is the following quote "I sense something
is wrong with my girlfriend. The relationship seems as if it lacks meaning
right now. Maybe I should do something romantic". So it maybe that this
dream is about that issue.
Apply the same procedure to all the symbols in the dream. Finally make a judgment
to which quote your dream could be about.
