Dreams also symbolize positive aspects of your life. Not all dreams deal with difficult or painful situations. Some dreams are meant to reduce stress by causing you to feel happiness, peacefulness, and pleasure. Sometimes, dreams are prophetic visions or warnings. Remembering Your Dreams For some people, remembering their dreams is fairly easy.
Most people remember their dreams only when they seem particularly strange or frightening.
In order to understand the symbols and themes in your dreams, it is important to train yourself to remember as much as you can about your dreams. AS YOU WAKE UP, even if you only remember parts of it. In training yourself, you may need to repeat that statement several times. Immediately upon awakening, tell the dream to yourself, recalling the events and characters, the details and feelings, and then write it down - even if the symbols seem pointless or if their meaning appears obvious. When combined with other aspects of the dream, the meaning of the symbols may become very significant and different than what they appear to be.
