We do not keep under constant control all the processes occurring in our body - the digestive, circulatory and other systems work, ensuring the vital activity of all organs and the body as a whole. In the event of a malfunction (illness) or external negative impact (burns, frostbite, poisoning), the body signals pain, coughing, fever, etc.
So dreams - even if we do not remember them, they fulfill their function. The proverb “the mornings are wiser than the evening” works. Indeed, in the morning a solution to a problem is found or a new idea arises. Nightmares are a signal from our psyche indicating a problematic issue.
General theory
According to researchers, there are several functions of dreams. Mystical or sacred aspect - it doesn't matter and you shouldn't focus on it. For example, a deceased grandmother dreamed. No wonder if this image was modeled by the brain or a real visit. The essence of the information is important, not the source that provided it.
The script doesn't end with a dream come true, the meaning of which has been ignored. The dream itself and the accomplished event associated with it calls you to pay attention to some important point. For example, in a dream you break your hand, but in reality it was pinched by the door. It is necessary to find out why the injured hand is dreaming. Hands can act as a symbol of connection with other people. A turning point in life is possible soon. It is believed that you need to reflect on your behavior at work, in the family or in society.
The images that make up the plot of the dream cover all spheres of life: spiritual, personal, creative and business. In other words, one symbol explains all kinds of experiences and needs. For example, a bed in a dream speaks of fatigue, sexual needs and health. So there is only one dream, and there may be several directions for its interpretation.
If in life the nerves are spoiled by some serious problem, against the background of which all the others have faded, then in a dream the emphasis will be on it. The dreaming symbol is not a painted scenario for your entire subsequent life! Sleep is relevant only at a certain moment. In the case of ignoring sleep and a protracted problem, consciousness will again focus your attention, “throwing up” the same symbols and plots in a dream. And this will be repeated until you understand the hint and draw conclusions.

Let's draw a parallel with the circulatory system again. What is the use of a blood test if it was not used to select a medicine. Similarly, sleep should not only satisfy curiosity. You must understand what he wants to tell you, what he advises. For example, you dreamed that your reflection in the mirror was ugly. You don't have to look into the dream book, but take a look at yourself and understand that the appearance has disappointed. But there is a bias towards your attitude towards business, towards people and towards your actions. So you need to work on yourself and admit your mistakes.
We disassemble the dream in detail
Do not forget that each dream object belongs to your personality. It can be people, some objects, nature, including animals. If you dreamed about a neighbor, then she herself plays a secondary role, and you have the main role. For example, at night I dreamed that a teenage daughter stumbled on a bridge and fell into a river. In the morning you are overcome with anxiety, and you think that trouble will happen to it. In fact, they are hinting to you that the girl has grown up and she is beginning to have a time of love and change. She needs your attention, but be careful not to lose the child's trust. The dream informs that a crack may arise in your relationship.
What matters is the state of sleep objects. It is bad if the dreamed people or animals are sick, unnaturally thin, injured, dirty or unkempt. Broken, stained, unsightly, or torn objects do not bode well. The task of the object itself is to indicate to you that an unpleasant change is coming, your order of life will be disrupted. For example, a dog that dies in your arms (this animal symbolizes a friend) lets you know that your relationship with a friend will change - either you will begin to treat him differently, or your friendship will end in a breakup. On the other hand, dreamed people, animals and objects that are in excellent condition speak about the "sea order" in your life.
It is common when some trifles or nonsense "fall out" of sight. They can be key though. For example, you are driving a very expensive car in a dream. In principle, this is a great sign - you know how to manage your life. However, the car is set in motion with pedals, like in a bicycle. This means that well-being is given to you at a high price; in order to achieve it, you have to make tremendous efforts.
Consider your own associations. In dream books, meanings of dream symbols can be given, which run counter to your idea. So, if you do not like dogs, then this animal for you does not mean a friend, but an enemy. Personal experiences are also important. Let's say the association to playing snowballs (in itself a positive symbol) can be painful if he was once unsuccessfully thrown and badly hurt you.
Don't discount emotions and feelings. Dream images have a symbolic or associative meaning. Feelings and emotions in a dream are presented in a direct sense, however, often in an exaggerated form. If in a dream a light concern is seized, then in reality you will have to experience mental oppression. Instead of subtle anxiety - obsessive fear. Irritation in reality will turn out to be hate.
Rules for working with your sleep
The dream book will help to analyze the dream, where you can find the definition of the meaning of symbols that have a connection with universal human attitudes and values: parents, family, earth, water, a lock with a key, ascent and descent, a human body, weapons, etc. Contradictory natures and bright individuals must take into account personal associations.
Analysis of the emotional component of a dream should take place in silence and loneliness. You need to sit comfortably, close your eyes and get away from reality, watching your breathing. After a few minutes, you need to recreate the dream in stages, this will help determine the episode that most catches you. You need to focus on this and feel the feeling that gripped you at this moment: love, horror, fear, pain, etc. Do not restrain yourself if you want to make a sound, for example, scream or laugh - sing, scream, moan! Also, do not restrain your gesticulation, let the body itself decide how to react to the feeling or emotion experienced. Under such conditions, the brain will necessarily give out some kind of phrase, picture or memory that indicates the meaning of the dream.
Sleep, in addition to the will of a person, is involved in balancing mental processes. But it is in our power to see the clues, understand them and penetrate into this process, which will accelerate it and enhance its effect.
