Horror, adventure, love story or wise parable – dreams are so different. And they all can help us navigate in real life. There are many ways of interpretation, and many can be useful in independent work with them. Psychologist Kevin Anderson gives examples from practice and gives advice to those who are interested in understanding their dreams.

“Recently, I have very strange dreams. Not that nightmares, just dreams of something so incomprehensible that I begin to doubt if everything is in order with me. For example, I recently dreamed that at the wake, someone told me: “I can’t believe that you went to the cemetery alone. It is known that the severed hand in the cemetery decomposes and emits toxic gases. “. Do I need to look for the meaning in such a Beliberd? I know that psychologists consider dreams significant, but they scare me, ”one of the clients turned to the psychotherapist Kevin Anderson.

Many scientists could name dreams formed as a result of the random activity of brain cells in a dream. But this point of view is no more proved than Freud’s statement, that dreams are the path to the unconscious. Experts still argue about whether dreams mean something important and, if so, what exactly. However, no one denies that dreams are part of our experience. Anderson believes: we are free to understand them to draw conclusions, grow or heal.

For about 35 years, he listens to patient stories about their dreams and does not get tired of being amazed at the amazing wisdom, which the unconscious broadcasts through personalized dramas, known to us as dreams. One of his clients was a man who constantly compared himself to his father. In his dream, he found himself at the top of the skyscraper in order to look at his father and see

that he … is again higher. Then he turned to the mother standing on the ground: “I can go down?”After discussing this dream with a psychotherapist, he abandoned his career, which, in his opinion, could like his father, and went his own way.

Interesting symbols may occur in dreams. The young married man dreamed that the earthquake was redring the temple with the Earth in his hometown. He walked through the wreckage and shouted: “There is someone here?»At the session, Kevin Anderson found out that his client’s wife may be pregnant. Spouses’ conversations about how much their life will change after the birth of a child led to a creative metaphorical processing of these thoughts in a dream.

“While I was fighting the dissertation, I could not solve an important question: whether to choose a“ money ”place or return to our hometown and get a hometown and get a clinic there in one of the clinics. During this period, I saw a dream in which my professors abducted the ship under the muzzle of a pistol. In the next scene, my hair was shaved and sent to a place resembling a concentration camp. I was desperately trying to escape. It seems that my “creator of dreams” crossed all the boundaries in an attempt to give me the most clear message. Over the past 30 years, my wife and I have been living in our hometown, ”writes Kevin Anderson.
