Your Dreams Count: A Layman's Approach to Dream Analysis

Welcome to a study that could easily improve your life. What makes Your Dreams Count truly unique is that it is a handbook to supplement whatever dreamers’ dictionaries you may now be using. This book found its genesis when I was a freshman in college. The dream dictionaries of the time did not always fulfill a need for an interpretation of my dreams. With my early background in spiritual metaphysics, I yearned for definitions that would present the meanings of dreams at the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Somehow, I seemed to miss the connection between the definitions given in the dictionaries and the manifestations of the dreams in my real life.
For instance, when I dream of a bird, does this image come to me at the physical, mental, or spiritual level? At the physical level I see a bird in flight; at the mental level I sense a new idea approaching; at the spiritual level I soar above mere earthly things into the ethereal. The same might be said of clouds, stars, boats, horses, and all of the other symbols one finds in a dreamer’s dictionary. There are extensive possibilities for accurate dream analysis.
The languages of Tarot, Numerology, Chinese and Western Astrology add to the dreamer’s vocabulary. Patiently, I put together charts and tables to help me with the work of interpreting my dreams. One would be surprised at how many definitions there are for a single motif or symbol! It took many years to evolve a comprehensive dream language to go with the dream journals.
The Holy Bible was and still is a favorite resource and mainstay for research into dreams. I like especially the Book of Revelations and the chapters having to do with the Breastplate of David, Solomon’s Temple, and the dreams of Daniel and his three friends held my interest.
