Dancing With Your Dreams in Your Sleep
Dreams are a mysterious window into our subconscious minds. As we pass through this window, we can confront thoughts, feelings, and desires that we are not aware of in our daily lives. Dreams about dreaming, in particular, offer significant clues about the complexity of our inner world.
Let’s embark on this mysterious journey together and interpret the dreams you have in your sleep from different perspectives.
Listen to the Voice of the Child Within You:
As Imam Ghazali mentions in his work "Ihya-u Ulum-id Din," dreams offer us the opportunity to experience a dimension beyond real life. The dreams you have in your sleep may reflect what you dreamed of in your childhood. Perhaps this dream reminds you to rediscover and relive a passion you forgot about in the past. This aspect of dreams also touches upon Jung’s theory of the "collective unconscious." The collective unconscious is like a pool that contains the shared experiences and symbols of all humanity. We can see reflections from this pool in our dreams.
A Mirror of Desires and Fears:
According to Freud, repressed desires and wishes surface in our dreams. The dreams you have in your sleep may be reflecting goals you want to achieve but are hesitant to consciously accept.
Ways to Realize Your Dreams:
As stated in Talim al-Hakim, the dreams we have in our sleep can actually be harbingers of potential that can be realized. The dreams we have in our sleep can give us clues that we need to make a change in real life. Using these clues, we can plan the steps we will take to realize these dreams.
A Divine Message?
According to classical dream interpreters like Ibn Sirin and Nablusi (Ibn Nablusî), interpreting dreams is important for understanding a divine message and making better decisions in our lives. The dreams you have in your sleep may be a divine sign and act as a guide that directs you to the right path.
The Language of Symbols:
Abdullah bin Abbas points out the importance of symbols in dream interpretation. Each symbol you see in your sleep may have a different meaning for you. By deciphering these symbols, you can better understand what your dream wants to tell you.
Some Questions to Ask Yourself to Understand Dreams in Your Sleep:
- What was the dream you had in your sleep?
- Did this dream make you happy or anxious?
- What might this dream represent in your real life?
- What do your dreams mean to you?
The dreams you have in your sleep may be a part of your subconscious mind trying to speak to you. Listen to these dreams carefully and apply what you learn from them to your life. Remember, our dreams can help us understand ourselves better and embark on a more meaningful journey in life.
