What do your dreams mean?

What do my dreams say about who I am?

As we end the winter term we begin to work on our Final Presentations. Normally we would be giving a talking and more one on one presentation but this term is different. Because of what is going on in the world today, there is risk for our community. Instead of showing our Final Presentations at our school and open to the public, we will create blog posts about them. With the posts being a bit more public than showing it to families and fellow students that creates an opportunity to make our work more wide spread. For these final presentation we have been tasked with creating or using a guiding question based off of a certain class that we are showcasing. My final presentation is about dreams. One exercise that the other freshman and I worked on was sharing our dreams. This assignment was supposed to have us learn to interpret our dreams and understand them. We could use this analysis to think about other dreams that we had. This exercise can be done by you and a partner. Each of you can share a dream and whatever parts of it as you like and the dream partner will ask questions about your dream afterward. If you want to try it yourself there are directions below.

Guidelines for Sharing Your Dreams

-- Choose someone you trust to share your dream with and someone who trusts you to share their dream with you. 

-- Choose a dream you are comfortable with sharing.

-- Try not to ask questions that are too personal for the dreamer if they haven’t shared something about it already. 

-- If the dreamer does not want to share something do not pressure them to say it.

-- Do not tell the dreamer what their dream is about. Only say what it would mean to you in your dream.

-- Dreams that are shared should not be told to outsiders without the dreamer’s permission.

Use these questions to explore and interpret your dream.

-- If this dream had a title, what would it be?

-- How did this dream make you feel? What emotions do you associate with this dream?

-- What questions would you ask the dream, if any?

-- If you could go back into your dream and do something differently, what would you do?

-- Does this dream inspire any action in the conscious world? What do you feel like you need to do because of this dream?

-- What was the lesson you learned from the dream?

I have done this exercise and answered these questions which are below.

-- How did this dream make you feel? What emotions do you associate with this dream?

This dream made me feel sad and alone.

-- What questions would you ask the dream, if any?

What does this dream mean? What do my actions represent?

-- If you could go back into your dream and do something differently, what would you do?

I would have tried harder to rescue the people that were dying and also try to get help from the other people that could help out.

-- Does this dream inspire any action in the conscious world? What do you feel like you need to do because of this dream?

I feel like I need to always help others if they are in danger when I can. If I have the chance to help or save people I should always do it.

-- What was the lesson you learned from the dream?

Always try to help the ones who cannot help themselves.
