(298) What did you dream for New Year?

By Janet Shin

Did you have a lucky dream for the New Year? People are likely to put a special meaning on their dreams during the New Year’s Season. It is because they consider them to influence the whole year fortune. Quite many people, even the young generations, are wondering about the interpretation of their dreams.

Dreams are usually absurd and inconsistent. They don’t make sense and furthermore people do not remember most parts once they wake up. Some even dramatize their dreams based on common beliefs. A familiar example is the dream of pigs, which is believed to bring wealth. There are some animals that bear fortunate meanings, such as a tiger, a dragon and carps. Other natural creatures or scenes like water, rainbow and fruits are also considered lucky. These faiths are formed by tradition or myth of their own culture and history but they also have many things in common across the world.

Most recently established study shows that dreams divulge one’s subconscious, especially the suppressed feelings. They are also believed to reveal environmental factors, things happened on the previous day or a certain physical stimulation.

Nevertheless, people still believe in lucid dreams and some may have portent for the future. Those who are highly conscious of their status of mind and soul can comprehend their dreams and even take advantage of the daily dreams for the everyday life. Once you learn what your dreams are trying to tell you, there are priceless lessons you can get.

A lady dreamed of water flowing over toward her house on the first week of January. She consulted me what this dream suggests. First of all, water normally implies good luck, especially it carries money fortune. She added that many fish were inside the water. Before the reading, I confirmed whether the water was pure or not. It has to be clear water to be a lucky dream. She is a promising financial analyst and her dream foretells luck of wealth this year. She was actually noticed to get a special incentive for the good business performance.

A young man who got married last November had a dream that brought him a special news. In his dream, he and his wife were walking on a street and suddenly a ripe large fruit was falling down in front of them. His wife picked it up and showed it to him. They have never seen that looking fruit before but when they had a closer look, it was like a mulberry and had plentiful seeds inside. I advised him that it was a dream to tell the forthcoming conception of a baby. The couple went to see an obstetrician to hear the good news of the wife’s pregnancy.

Nowadays it is not just a character or an object but the situation appeared in the dream that needs to be translated. Although there are prevalent interpretations, you need to cautiously read them referring to the circumstances each of you are actually situated and the emotion you get in and after the dreams. Same object may fetch opposite meanings for different people in different life stories.

And in order not to be deluded by false illusion, it is required to make a quick note upon waking up if you sense that the dream conveys a certain message. If you continuously train your consciousness by reading your dreams and comparing them with the situations you are in, you may become the most excellent dream interpreter of yourself.
