7: In Dreams, Small Details have Big Impacts

About this Episode

Dreams from this episode:

• A dream of being shot by a gunman in the town square
• A strangely disturbing dream of a metal ball rolling on a beige carpet
• A piano competition where I’m unprepared and haven’t “brought my notes”
• A child’s dream of a coyote that turns out to be a goat
• A child’s dream of bonding with her favorite YouTuber
• A child’s dream of a witch turning children into frogs
• A child’s dream of her family being shot, then saved
• A child’s dream of sleeping in a different location

Themes from this episode:

• Even the smallest details in dreams can have significant meanings. If a detail sticks out for you, cast your mind around for possible associations. Google search for ideas and follow the energy. Think about similar images from your everyday life. Any of these may give you a clue to the detail’s meaning.

• If a dream’s emotion seems out of proportion or doesn’t seem to match the circumstances, like the metal ball on beige carpet dream, pay special attention to that. For example, under what circumstances might a child find the unbridled freedom of a rolling ball to be scary? Answer: when he isn’t feeling like he has enough structure or protection in his life.

• When you remember specific words or phrases from a dream, they are probably important. Ad remember, dreams can speak in puns and jokes, too. For example, in my “bring your notes” dream, “notes” had 2 meanings: written notes on paper, and musical notes.

• Children’s dreams can give you information about their situations. For example, if children take it for granted in their dreams that parents will always be there to rescue them, that shows a stable environment where they feel protected.
