Interpreting Dreams—An Introduction—Why we dream, the meaning of dreams and understanding the symbolism of dream Dreams have a high significance throughout many cultures which has not been lost over time. But why are dreams so fascinating?
Every night we dream for about 1.5 hours. During that time there is a fascinating interaction between our physical and mental processes which allows us to look into our mind and subconscious. Our heart-rate can increase and we produce hormones. Scientists have not yet been able to tap into these processes, so they have to rely on the memory report: the dream.
Interpreting our dreams is not an attempt to predict the future but is much more about understanding our subconscious processes and problems. Would it not be wonderful if interpreting your dreams could help you to understand yourself better?
This handbook will not only help to give you the background knowledge you need but it will also explain why we dream and how to interpret your dream symbols.
