How to Interpret Your Dreams
The I AM and I NEED Formula
The difficulty most people have with
interpreting their own dreams is that they aren’t objective enough.
Their familiarity with the people and places in their dreams obscures the
dreams meaning. This formula, I AM and I NEED, was devised
to overcome this. Here’s how it works.
Write out your dream as fully as
possible. Be sure to have two different colored pens. Using one color,
underline every negative word or phrase in the dream which indicates
limitation, disrespect, containment, avoidance or damage. There is a
sample list of keywords and phrases of limitation at the end of this
column.
Now using the other color underline
every positive word or phrase. You now make two lists. List the negative
words and phrases under a column titled I AM. List the
positive words and phrases under a column titled I NEED. You
are almost ready to interpret your dream.
First determine the subject matter
of the dream. The location where the dream takes place is one of the best
methods for doing this. Refer to the dictionary at here
for a list of locations and their meaning. When you have determined the
subject matter take each of the phrases or words in the ‘I AM’ column
and fit them into the following sentence.
When it comes to my subject
matter I AM phrase or keyword
Change the phrase or keyword
slightly to force the sentence to make sense. If you cannot determine the
subject matter apply the keywords to yourself in general. This exercise tells you how you feel
or react to the subject matter of the dream. When you have done this read
through the ‘I NEED’ column to learn what you must do to
correct the problem. To get the meaning put each of the phrases or
keywords into the sentence,
When it comes to my subject
matter I
NEED
phrase or keyword
Let’s take an example. Using the sentence ‘The
dead woman lay on the cold hard slab’. The negative keywords are; dead, cold and
hard. Women in dreams can represent emotions so in this
case the sentences constructed would be
-
When it comes to my emotions I am dead.
-
When it comes to my emotions I am cold.
-
When it comes to my emotions I am hard.
The meaning is obvious. With
analyzing just one sentence from a dream we have learned a lot about the
dreamer. Using this technique you now have
all of the information you need to start interpreting your dreams. However
it takes practice to be able to apply what you have learned. Be patient
with your efforts.
In Part II I give a detailed example using this
formula and a dream submitted by a reader.
