DREAM STUDIES : EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

EXTERNAL FACTORS : During dreams we can still hear and sense things happening around us. Such external factors can be incorporated into dreams. Often the effect of these factors will be exaggerated in dreams in often bizarre ways. If you have a TV or radio on at the time then that maybe incorporated into the dream in odd ways.

The need to go to the toilet is a classic cause of external dreams. Also if you wake up in an awkward position and it is causing you pain then that will result in an external dream.

DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams that feature external noise interference and other factors
---------------------
THE DREAM - I have a simple dream . A voice states to me - "you need to stop doing This." I start to think and the voice repeats - "NO - You need to stop doing this"

THE REALITY The dreamer woke up and it took him a couple of seconds to realise that he was in intense pain with his foot. It was in a very uncomfortable sleeping position.

THE INTERPRETATION This dream was very much in the real world. The voice represents a message from the dreamers subconscious. The dreamer woke up wondering what the dream meant. But then had to move immediately because the pain with his foot was unbearable. The dreamer liked to study his dreams and this was one such dream. It was quite a humorous dream and was quite insistent in its message. It was like it was in conversation - it was correcting the dreamer who immediately looked to deep meaning. The dreamer was trying to stay still to remember his dream yet was forced to move.

Symbolic Meanings
YOU NEED TO STOP DOING THIS : "the dreamer needed to stop sitting in that position because he was in pain that very second"

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I woke up and started to try to understand my dream. Then I realised that I had an intense pain in my foot(cramp). I then instantly understood the dream. I really did have to stop doing this and move to relieve the pain."

See how the symbolic meanings link to feelings of pain at the exact moment of the dream

THE DREAM I was taking giants steps on the moon in an astronaut suit.

THE REALITY When the dreamer woke up from the dream the Police song 'Walking on the Moon' was playing on the radio.

THE INTERPRETATION Often our dreams are shaped by external sources. This is one obvious case. We can hear perfectly well in dreams and such sources will shape our dreams. Such dreams are often difficult to interpret. What parts are part of dream world and what parts are simple noise interference.

THE DREAM I had a dream that penguin from batman was climbing from the side of my bed, he was biting me. I woke up and it was the cat latching onto me to get onto the bed.

THE REALITY The dreamer was feeling pain at the same time in real life as she was in the dream. It was at the exact same moment.

THE INTERPRETATION Often dreams about feelings that we are having at the exact moment of the dream will include very odd symbols. In this case the Penguin is a type of joke figure. So the cat is compared to the figure of evil because he causes the dreamer pain by scratching her. But its also a half comical moment. But the crucial link here is that the pain is felt simultaneously.

DREAM TIP : The dream mind is a conceptual mind. Therefor try to think about the kinds of conceptual thoughts and emotions currently occupying your mind. Try to write down some quotes which capture your feelings on major issues concerning you and especially events from the day before the dream . For instance think of quotes like "I have been unhappy at work recently", or "I had a really strange conversation with my best friend yesterday and don't know what to make of it". Its quotes like this which interest our dream minds. Try to link your dreams to conceptual thoughts currently rising to the surface of your mind.
