The Meanings of your Dreams

Dream Meanings Part Two

Using A Pendulum

BY PENNY PARKER

MAIN DREAMS

In our dreams we often dream of one subject and sometimes it will repeat itself. I have explained some answers to the main dreams that are most common. I do hope the answers will help in some way.

BABY

Desire for motherhood, or merely for someone weaker than yourself whom you can control.
If this dream occurs frequently, probably you are too much dominated yourself by others and seek compensation; or you have too great a desire for power over other people.

EXAMINATIONS

People long past the usual examination age may have such a dream. For examination, read some problem or difficulty which is occurring in your life. If the dream examination worries you or you feel you have failed, you are funking your problem and not facing up to it properly.
If you dream that you pass the examination, you are reassuring yourself that all will be well. Should the examination be one which even in your dream you know you passed sometime ago, then the problem is similar to a previous one which you solved successfully and you can master it on the same lines.

FALLING

This very common and unpleasant nightmare takes many forms, but always the dreamer is falling from a height or through space, and either the falling itself or the landing at the bottom is very unpleasant. Sometimes the fall is caused by a push from behind when standing on a high place. This is the dream of a too - ambitious person, who always wants to be first, cleverest or most - loved, ---- an impossible ambition, for no one can be always on top. Eldest children, who are first the only one and made the centre of attention and then have to share the honours with the next baby, often get this "I must be first" unconscious ambition and are very liable to falling dreams. Such dreams will
disappear if the dreamer can cure herself or himself of always wanting all the limelight.

FLYING

This shows a good form of ambition, the person who wants to rise high, but does not demand the first place as a right.
Instead, she or he will work for it courageously.

HEROINE

I give this name to the dream in which the dreamer does something wonderful and is the heroine of the occasion. As a rule she acts with great calm and efficency in an emergency and others obey her admiringly, or she effects a dashing rescue of somebody from a fire or other danger. This dream fulfills in a very satisfactory way a great wish to be admired and heroic. It is so much easier to dream oneself a heroine than actually to be one! If you often get this dream, guide your desire to help and be admined into humbler channels. There are so many simple everyday ways of keeping cool and taking care of others. Make use of them, instead of waiting for the dramatic moment which may never come.

HIGH PLACES

A fear of looking down from or falling over high places such as cliffs or the gallery of a theatre should be interpreted in the same way as falling dreams.

MISSING TRAIN OR SHIP OR COACH ETC

This is a very frequent "muddle" dream belonging to class 2. You are going on an important journey or for your holiday and you miss the train -------- or fear you will do so -------------- for some reason any sensible person would have provided against.
For instance, you can't find your passport or have filled your suit - case so full that it's impossible to close it! This is a "funk" dream.
It is not a warning to abandon whatever new step you are taking. On the contrary, pluck up your courage and remember the many new steps you have taken in the past which have turned out successfully.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

Here again, as with the "heroine" , an easy dream is substituted for a difficult achievement.
If you dream you are climbing mountains, you are leading too easy a life, have got slack and so are making up for it in your sleep. What troublesome thing in real life are you shirking? Climb that "mountain" and the dream will vanish.

NAKED

Many people dream of finding themselves in the streets or some other public place in their birthday suits, to their extreme embarrassment. This dream is a sign of some fear connected with sex or marriage. Try to dig it out and overcome it. It may bedue to ignorance or wrong teaching in childhood and greater knowledge of the subject will often cure it.

PARALYSED

Most of us know the dream in which we are suddenly paralysed and unable to move in the face of some sudden danger or when our legs without warning give way under us. The interpretation and remedy are much the same as for the train dream on previous page.

RACING AND RUNNING

Or any great hurrying in a dream show a very strong desire in the unconscious mind of the dreamer to catch up with, or beat, someone who, she or he feels, is outdistancing
her or him in real life in someway. The second child in a family, trying perpetually to be
as big and important as the first older one, or the younger of any two children in a family
who are close together in age, is very apt to have this dream. The remedy is to train yourself simply to do your best, without bothering whether someone else with more advantages does better or not. In other words you are overdoing competition.

WATER

Water prominent in a dream, whether in the form of the sea, a river, a lake or floods, shows some emotional difficulty. Such a dream often occurs if the dreamer is anxious over a love affair - or is worried because love seems to pass her or him by. Try to discover and remedy any trait in yourself which makes you unattractive to the other sex.
