Dream Interpretation

The word archetype is actually derived from the Latin and Greek languages, but the world of psychiatry, particularly the work of Carl Jung, is what brought the word into common usage. Simply stated, an archetype is a prototype, or an original model. An archetype can also be used to mean the ideal example of a type.

Carl Jung used the word archetype to mean an instinct pattern of thought or imagery that was derived from collective experience. Jung believed in the existence of the collective unconscious - that is that people are born knowing things learned from their ancestors.

There are several archetypes used in dream interpretation, and one of the most common of these archetypes is that of the child.

The child is quite a common symbol in dreams, and it is probably the most easily recognized archetypes. After all, everyone can remember what it was like to be a child - the freedom of being a child, the unconditional love received from parents, the laughter and the innocence of the imagination.

In the world of dreams, the child reminds us of our past and our childhood. Dreams involving children, or dreaming of ourselves as children, often symbolizes an unconscious desire to go back to a simpler time. People in need of unconditional love often dream of being children or being surrounded by children.

Every psychology student is familiar with the concept of the inner child, the part of everyone that refuses to grow up, and is constantly in need of encouragement, comfort and unconditional love.

There are several other child archetypes and metaphors, and one of the most powerful of these is the Divine Child. The Divine Child archetype is often encountered in mythology, and there are examples of the Divine Child in almost every major religion and belief system in the world. This worldwide appearance is one of the hallmarks of a true archetype.

Interpreting and analyzing dreams can be great fun for the adventurous dreamer. Simply keeping a dream journal for a few days can sometimes provide you with valuable insights into both the meaning of your dreams and unresolved issues in your waking life.

Dream interpretation can even be part of many people's careers. In particular, therapists and psychologists often used dream analysis as part of their practices, especially when working with people who suffer nightmares as a result of trauma and stress.

This article, though will take a more lighthearted approach to dream interpretation. Let's start with an examination of the colors often seen in dreams, and what those colors may symbolize.

Dreaming in color

Most dreamers report dreaming in color at least some of the time, and for many the colors encountered in the dream world are even more vivid than those encountered in the real world. A quick dream color quick is listed below.

? Pink -Pink is generally understood to be a symbol of love, and dreaming of pink objects can symbolize a happy love affair.

? Red -Red has several different meanings, including passion and anger. The actual meaning of red objects in a dream is dependent on its context within the dream.

? Black - Black is often seen as a negative symbol. Black can symbolize the a void in the dreamer's life, or a fear of death or aging.

? Grey - Grey is a color midway between black and white, and therefore grey is often seen as a symbol of fear or of confusion. People struggling with an important decision will often dream in shades of grey.

Before we can understand just what takes place in the dreaming mind, and what it all means, it is a good idea to have an understanding of the sleep cycle, and the function of dream sleep within this sleep cycle. Dream sleep is a distinct part of the sleep cycle, different in almost every way from other types of sleep.

There are four distinct stages to the sleep cycle, and every human goes through several such sleep cycles in a typical night. The average full sleep cycle lasts from 90-120 minutes, so an average eight hour night of sleep could contain four or more separate sleep cycles.

Dreams may occur at any of the four stages of sleep, but the most vivid dreams, and the ones most likely to be remembered in the morning, occur during the REM stage of sleep. This sleep stage is generally referred to as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. The name comes from the eye movements that are observed during this stage of sleep.

Since the entire sleep cycle repeats at least four and sometimes as many as seven, times per night, it is therefore possible and even likely that the same person will experience several different dreams every night. In most cases, however, the only dreams that are remembered are those that take place closest to waking. Not remembering dreams, however, does not mean they have not occurred.

Let us begin our look at the four stages of sleep.

Stage 1

During the first stage of sleep, the sleeper's eyes move back and forth in an erratic fashion. For this reason, this stage of sleep is referred to as REM, or rapid eye movement, sleep. This stage generally occurs from 90-100 minutes after the initial onset of sleep. During this period of sleep, the blood pressure rises and the heart rate and respiration speeds up and may become erratic as well. During this stage of sleep, the voluntary muscles become paralyzed. This stage of sleep is the one in which the majority of dreaming occurs.

Stage 2

Stage two is a light sleep, and it is characterized by non rapid eye movements. During this stage of sleep the muscles are relaxed that the heart rate is slowed. This stage of sleep prepares the body for deeper sleep.

Dreams provide us with a fascinating glimpse into the subconscious world, and many people see dream interpretation as a way to diagnose and treat real world problems.

This trust in dream analysis does have some basis in fact, and many psychologists and therapists use dreams in treating patients who are recovering from trauma. These trauma survivors often suffer from recurring dreams and nightmare scenarios, and the fact that dream therapy works proves the strong connection between the waking world and the world of dreams.

For most people, however, analyzing their dreams is nothing but a fun diversion and a source of insight into their everyday lives. In order to gain insight into your dreams, it is important to understand what some common dream objects symbolize.

Of course every dream, and every dreamer is different, and this list is by no means comprehensive. Every object encountered in a dream will have a different interpretation, depending on its context within the dream and the state of the dreamer.

Alien

There are several types of alien dreams. Dreams in which the dreamer is an alien can represent that he or she is unsure about a new house, new town or new job.

On the other hand, dreaming about being abducted or probed by an alien being can represent a fear of the unknown, or a feeling that your life is being invaded, perhaps by an overbearing relative, friend or coworker.

Baptism

Dreaming of a baptism, whether your own or someone else’s, is generally thought to be a symbol of renewal or rebirth.

Burial

Dreams of a burial can be symbols for the disposal of unwanted habits, or even the breakup of an unhappy relationship.

Dreams come in a wide variety of subjects and types, and almost anything in our waking lives can become fertile ground for reinterpretation in the dream world. Analyzing these various kinds of dreams can be fun and exciting, for both experts and normal dreamers alike.

Dream researchers through the years have discovered several types of dreams. Most people experience a variety of these dream categories through their lives, but some types of dreams are more common than others for many people.

Dream #1 - the Daydream

The daydream is not like other dreams, in that it takes places while the person is awake. It is important to note, however, that daydreams take place in a state of consciousness that is somewhere between full waking and full sleep.

Studies have shown that most people spend anywhere from 70 to 120 minutes daydreaming each day. During a daydream, the imagination is allowed free rein, and it often takes us to far off places and exciting adventures.

Dream #2 - the Lucid Dream

Dreams in which you know you are dreaming, or lucid dreams, are one of the most fascinating subjects for dreamers and dream researchers alike. In many cases, realizing it is a dream immediately wakes the dreamer and ends the dream.

Some people, however, learn to remain in the dream even after they have learned its nature. They may even learn how to take control of the dream and become an active participant in the dream world. These lucky people often have incredible adventures night after night.

Dream #3 - the Nightmare

Most people experience at least a few nightmares during their life, and nightmares are particularly common among young children. Most children experience their first nightmare by the age of three, and continue to be troubled by them until the age of six or seven.
