Dreams
and Emotions
Use
your dreams to reveal your emotions
With dreams expert and psychic
Craig Hamilton-Parker
Dreams
are the strangest things. However sane you are during
the day, at night you end up behaving very oddly indeed:
flying, running around naked, chasing monsters, even
meeting your soulmate - the so-called man 'of your dreams'.
EMOTIONAL
DREAMS
It all seems
so real, it's not surprising people assume that dreams
must have some use. And, according to Hamilton-Parker,
they do. He believes they're a powerful way to improve
your emotions and your relationships. 'No-one knows
exactly what dreams are, but one theory is that it's
your brain's way of stopping your emotions overheating,'
he says. 'Which means while your unconscious mind churns
away turning out all your crazy imaginings, it's also
working out solutions to any problems or issues you're
facing. And because dreams are intuitive, not logical,
they're especially useful when it comes to discovering
your true, gut feelings. 'That means once you learn
to tap into your dreams, you can actually learn to use
their lessons in waking life.
How
to read your emotional dreams...
'Don't take
your dreams literally - they speak to you in symbols,'
says Hamilton-Parker. 'Everything in each dream - the
weather, how you feel, the theme, the scenery, the people
and any sounds, numbers or colors all mean something.
For example, an icy landscape may mean your feelings
are literally frozen, you're not expressing yourself,
while hot and tropical might express your passion. "Even
the people you see in your dreams could be symbols of
yourself, not actual people. For example, if you see
your mother, it could be an expression of your nurturing
side.'
Q:
I had a nightmare and woke up full of foreboding
and a sense of danger.
What does this mean?
A:
'A bad dream isn't necessarily bad as what you've dreamt
isn't likely to happen. Nightmares can be very revealing,
though, especially of any hidden fears, guilt, worries,
anger, insecurities and bad memories that you've pushed
out of your waking mind into your unconscious. Once
you know what your fears are, you can face them, so
they'll no longer have a hold on you. When you're in
a neutral frame of mind, try to do the opposite of what
the dream says. So, if you're running away from something,
work out what that monster represents, and face it.'
Q: I dreamt
I was back in a bad relationship.
Do I secretly want to go out
with him again?
A:
Not really, it's more revealing of your fears of what's
going to happen to you in current or future relationships.
Q:
I dreamt about my soulmate - does this mean I'll
meet him?
A: 'If
it's a real person, it may be expressing feelings you've
repressed or even expressed about them. Or, that person
could actually be your soulmate. But it's more likely
that the person you see isn't. 'As your soulmate is
the person who fits you perfectly, and dream people
are symbols of yourself, then the person you're seeing
as a soulmate is in fact simply another side of yourself.
But it's not all bad news. What you can use this dream
for is to work out what's missing in your emotional
life. If you have a vision of your soulmate, it's showing
you the qualities you need to become a whole and
emotionally strong person.'
Q:
I had a dream that I was pregnant - does that
mean I will be soon?
A:
'It certainly could mean you're broody!. But it's more
likely there are new things happening in your life,
relationship or personality. Or you could be in the
early stages of a new relationship.'

Q:
In my dream I was riding a horse along a beach.
It felt so happy. What does it mean?
A: 'Animals,
like people, speak symbolically about the way you feel.
Each animal represents certain qualities in yourself,
especially the instinctive and sexual side of you. So,
for example, a cat may represent intuition, a tiger
may represent fear, a pig may symbolize gluttony and
bad behavior, and a snake the slippery side. Horses
in particular show sexuality - so it could be that you're
feeling very comfortable about expressing the sexual
side of yourself.'
How
to ask your dreams for answers
If you want
to ask your dreams a question, write it down and put
it under your pillow. Then, you've set your unconscious
program in motion to answering your question. It could
be, say, 'Is he the one for me?' When you wake up, write
down everything about your dream immediately. Then,
think about the way you feel about every element of
your dream - the people, sights and sounds. First impressions
count, as they'll express your gut feelings. And they're
the key to finding an answer - although it might not
be the one you want!
