What if you dreamed you were running madly down a narrow corridor? You turn a sharp bend too fasst, slip on the slick floor and fall face first to the ground. What does this mean? How do you make sense out of it? Looking at how dreams have been used historically may help us gain a broader perspective on how dreams can be understood. Did yoou know that dreams have played an important role In history? Socrates had recurring dreams of hearing music. Juseppi Tartini, an Italian violinist, wrote the "Devil's Sonata" entirely from a dream in which he heard the devil play the violin. Frederick Cucula, a German chemist, developed Insight Into the molecular stucture of benzene through a dream. He dreamed of a snake grasping its tall and translated this image into the concept of the closed carbon ring. Robert Louis Stevenson developed the story characters Dr. Hekyll and Mr. Hyde from his dreams. Dreams can be rewarding. Dreams may bring pleasure Into your life, help you confront danger and help you become more aware of yourself. How can these rewards be yours? Dream Incubation is one way In which you can teach yourself to have the kind of dreams you want. Before going to sleep, choose a dream topic. Clearly formulate a dream plan. Concentrate your attention on this plan just prior to sleeping. Visualize the desired action. As you become drowsy, repeat a few simple words that describe the event you want to occur. For example, "Tonight I fly" or "I know I'll win". By rehearsing In your mind the theme you want to dream, you can learn how to deliberately evoke relaxed, creative fantasy. Besides the pleeasure of experiencing the dream, you may be curious about how to interpret the content. What does the dream mean? In general, no one can Interpret your dreams for you. Only you know what the images mean to you In the context of your life. However, recording and repeating your dreams will help you focus and train your ability to understand hidden meanings. To understand the meaning of your dreams, remember to write your dreams down as soon as possible on waking. Even describing a small part of the dream can tell you much about yourself. Often reviewing part of the dream will help you remember more . Next, follow this process: 1. Describe the dream in the present tense with as much detail as possible. 2. Reflect on the feelings ellcted by the dream. What part was most interesting? What grabbed your Interest? 3. Extrapolate from the dream to your waking life situation. What situation in your waking life gives you a similar feeling? 4. Asssociate to all images in your dream. What part of yourself is being described in each of these images? 5. Meditate on the meaning of the dream. Substitute personal situations in your waking life to the actions in your dream. What waking situations elicit similar feelings and actions to the ones in your dream? 6. Summarize the action of the dream Into a message. To learn from the dream and use It In your life, It Is helpful to summarize the message you think the dream Is giving you. For example, let's return to the dream given at the beginning of this article. A frantic, pressured feeling Is the most predominant part of the dream. If this feeling Is particularly strong, it may linger even after waking. Reflecting on similaar waking life situations, the dreamer may recall feeling that same harried, rushed sensation going to class. Trying to get everything done on time elicits the same feeling as In the dream. An action message that could summarize the meaning in this dream might be, "Slowdown. Don'trush. You're going too fast. Sharing the process of exploring dreams within a group setting Is the purpose of a dreamwork group. Each semester the Counseling Center offers groups that meet weekly. Groups are open to all students, are free of charge, and welcome anyone Interested. If you are Interested In joining a dreamwork group, call the Counseling Center aat 227-7469.
