Dream Analysis

We dream every time we sleep. You don't? No, you just forget what you saw. People dream in the period of REM sleep. I took a class about Dream Analysis when I was the freshman at university. That was interesting actually that I still like to dream and analyze. The famous psychologist Jung started the theory that dream is what your unconscious tells you. And our unconscious have no means to tell you using language that our unconscious uses our image that is close to what it wants to say, and this is a dream. We dream, but we don't know what exactly unconscious tell because the whole picture is so random that we don't understand the story. However, when you somehow analyze your dream, and interpret it, you'll notice something related to your real life, and definitely know our unconscious tells something through dream.

Here is how I do analyze. First we have to dream, technically we have to remember our dream. If we don't care about dream, it will easily gone. Therefore, I recommend first that you get interested in dream. This is the first step, you show your attitude that "I'm listening" to our unconscious. And then, when you dream, I recommend taking a note of your dream. By making that ambiguous dream written, it will be concrete that you are dreaming. You should do this every time you dream. And this will increase the possibility you remember the dream.

Now, next step, you have dreamed and written it, now it is time to analyze it. My method is as follows.
- mark any symbol or outstanding points while writing ( I use @@ as signal)
- analyze that points using dream dictionary and your brain
that specific word implies something, (e.g. go exploring => hope)
- maybe you'll see your dream is consists of many parts that each represents something to you
or different parts together implies big story to you.
you should see the entire picture rather than seeing particular detailed points
- contrast it with your real life ( this will happen naturally)


And today's dream told me that....
In dream, I went to go treasure hunting with my friends, and I was in jungle and eventually fell down from falls.
This implies that I have hope(treasure hunting) and exploring jungle(success), and fell from falls (missing opportunities) but eventually I enjoyed falling falls like amusement attraction(be on the way of success)

In reality, I got know about Python, new language for me, and I was in quandary whether I do iOS development or OpenCV and python. And I knew my instinct tells me to do OpenCV and Python.

For me, the dream matches to this problem in reality.


It is interesting.
PS. I often have dream that ends with the scene I kissing, does this have some implication that I'll get girlfriend?? lol
