The mystery of dreams has long fascinated not only physicians, scientists and parapsychologists, but also ordinary people who are far from science or supernatural things. A person spends in a dream a fair part of his life, recovering both physically and mentally. And the pictures that flash before our eyes during a night's rest make us think about why they appear, and what we dream about in general.

Step 1
There are many theories about what a dream is. Among them, one can find the assumption that this is a way of the soul's journey into other dimensions, and the ability of a person to connect to the collective unconscious. Others simply do not attach much importance to dreams, considering them to be echoes of daytime experiences that the brain is trying to order while the person's consciousness is turned off.
Step 2
Under the influence of the growing interest in esoteric teachings, dream books took a strong position in bookstores. Their first compilers made long-term observations of how life events and pictures that a person sees in a dream are connected. They noticed that different people in similar situations have the same associations that can be clothed in symbols. In turn, the symbols can be ordered and a table of their meanings can be compiled. It was these studies that formed the basis of dream books.
Step 3
They cannot be called pseudoscientific or quack books. In fact, they represent statistical data, but, unfortunately, the numerous dream books that have come down to our times will not help much in the interpretation of modern dreams. The fact is that since then a lot has changed in people's lives. Some symbols have acquired diametrically opposite meanings, and many things that previously could have been dreamed often have now completely disappeared from everyday life.
Step 4
In addition, in different geographic locations, the same symbols may have different meanings. They are directly related to the culture and traditions of a particular people. But we can still try to understand what we are dreaming of. Many esotericists propose to follow the already paved path of observation and accounting and compose a personal dream book that would help interpret the events of your life.
Step 5
To do this, it is recommended to keep a notebook and pen by the bed and set an alarm at 5 in the morning. The dreams that came after this time no longer matter, as the brain begins to switch from the unconscious to the conscious. When you wake up on a call, you need to record your dreams in detail. After that, record the events that occurred during the day, and then compare the records, trying to find a connection between them. After a while, you will be able to sort through your notes and identify patterns.
