How Do Dream Movies Help You Remember Your Dreams

There are a number of dream movies that might expand your concepts about dreaming and the meanings of dreams. If nothing else, these movies might cause you to question the power of dreams in your life. Older examples include What Dreams May Come and Field of Dreams. A little more current is Vanilla Sky. And most recently, Inception is causing people to start talking about and thinking about dreams.

Inception explores the depths of the subconscious mind as revealed in dreams. Conversations between the characters reveal

• the flexibility of the dream world
• levels of the dreaming mind
• the erratic nature of movement in dreams
• instant manifestation in dreams
• suspension of “normal” waking reality in the dream world.

Watching Inception is causing conversations about dreams and raising awareness of their power.

Do you remember your dreams?

Whether you remember them or not, everybody dreams as a natural aspect of the sleep cycle.

Symbols in dreams are a language just as Italian or Russion or English, except that they convey the language of the deep mind or subconscious. Just as you can’t understand a foreign language when you visit another country without either a guidebook or classes, you will not understand what your dreams are truly conveying to you without some guidance.

Here are a few basics about dreams.

1. Dreams are not literal. Remember this next time you think they are. I’m sure you’ve never physically taken flight without the benefit of an airplane or other mechanical device. There is a scene in Inception in which people are moving about a corridor without the benefit of gravity. They have to pull themselves along with their hands. This simply cannot happen in the waking world.
2. Dreams are about YOU. I remember one time a friend got mad at me because she dreamed about me and didn’t like what I had said. I wasn’t there at the time I reminded her that she had been dreaming and that the conversation had never happened. Her dream was a message from her to her. Her dream had nothing to do with me or with our relationship. I had nothing to do with it. I simply represent an aspect of her. When you dream about different people, known or unknown to you, they are all aspects of yourself.
3. Dreaming about something does not mean it will happen in your waking life. Just because you dream about being lost on a lonely country road doesn’t mean you will experience this.
4. Dreams have their own symbolic language. Often, you can consider what an element of your dream represents in the physical world to gain some understanding of its meaning in the dream world. As an example, food nourishes your body, so food in the language of dreams has to do with knowledge. If the food is delicious, the knowledge nourishes your mind. If the food is rancid or spoiled, the knowledge does not nourish you.
5. Every element of the dream is YOU. Dreaming about a car or bicycle, which are examples of how you get around in the physical world, is telling you something about your physical body. If the car breaks down, it points to a potential health problem unless you take corrective action. Dreaming of a flood relates to feeling overwhelmed by experiences. And just as a tornado is whirling wind, it points to circular thoughts or confusion in the language of dreams.

How to Remember Your Dreams

I have dramatically increased my ability to remember my dreams because of the teachings of DreamSchool.org. Here are the basic steps to start remembering your dreams.

1. Get a notepad or notebook for writing down your dreams. I personally recommend you get something nicer than a steno pad, because your dreams are revealing important knowledge from your subconscious mind to your waking self, and doesn’t that “insider information” deserve a nice journal?
2. Each night before you go to sleep, write, “I will remember my dreams” on a fresh page of the journal and note tomorrow’s date in the upper right corner. This signals your mind to start remembering.
3. Also before sleep, fully relax your body, from feet to head.
4. When you awaken, before doing anything else, write down anything you remember, even if it is only a couple of words.

Do this and you will find that you remember more of your dreams. And perhaps you will even start remembering several per night.

Recommendations for further study

1. If you want to know the meanings of dreams, get a good dream symbols dictionary. I highly recommend Dr. Barbara Condron’s book The Dreamer’s Dictionary: Translations in the Universal Language of Mind, because you will not only discover the meanings of dreams and elements in them, but you will also have a guidebook to understand the real messages your dreams have for you.
