something pretty interesting occured to me today - what if all those books which tell you how to interpret your dreams by telling you things like: red means danger, green means envy, or that a certain object being in you dream means that you subconscious mind is trying to tell you something, what if after you read a book like that and tried to interpret your dreams with it a few times and after a while your mind catches on to what you will interpret certain things as and starts to conform to the code. what if, even though i believe that those books usually dont’ work because everything means something different for everyone, once you mind has memorized the code used to interpret your dreams and knows you will use that book to interpret your dreams it starts to use the code in order to communicate certain things to you. let me know what you think about this theory because it sounds like an interesting concept.
Woa, thats a nice theory.
Yeah, it makes sense that the subconscious would latch onto something like that. Reading your post put the idea in my head that the success of those dream interpretation books (tIsnt the imagination like totally abstract and the like, and that in dreams your right hemishpere is a lot more activated? It would seem that the line between imagining something and something actually happening is very thin indeed like reality suggests - i mean both things are in your head anyways, right? I would guess that the less you solidify your environment, the more that that which you imagine shall manifest.hem never seeming to not be around) is not because they are accurrate (which is common knowledge, diff people diff meanings and whatnot), but because such books can come to serve as a sort of intermediary between the conscious and the unconscious. Yeah, like a code that sort of fits in nicely, may in fact fit easier than oneself trying to figure out meanings for him/herself without the use of a general guidelines - like the setting of ‘laws of communication’ when one can pick up a pre-fabricated set.
Of course, to sort of change the subject, think about this - I believe that dreams are in fact our subconscious trying to communicate to us. However, considering the conditioning of our society, it is no surprise that most people remain oblivious to what their sub-c tries to tell them. It is kind of sad, in my opinion, that people disregard their dreams and selves so.
