The threated thread
about PL dreams and interpretation, thank you Karoliina :thumbsup: hope I have choosen the right section .
I wasn´t attracted by vikings and had only vague knowledge about them before I had this dream with the viking and the wagon as his grave good . I connected vikings with ships and was quiet surprised when I woke up.
I have got several very short PL dreams with unsuspected elements or informations but those never have surreal elements and they are always connected with a inner knowledge about their validity.
I have also longer dreams with elements of PL which are sometimes not easy to interpret and sometimes I am too lazy for it :tongue:
For me I prefer to analyse my dreams in the way Edgar Cayce suggested. There are several books from him available about that subject, instructions about PL-dreams too.
I have read a lot of C.G. Jung, about symbolism, psyche, psychoanalysis and so on, have also gone through a psychoanalysis myself but that is not my way although I became known to symbolism well
In my opinion, having a PL dream invites to a analysis of it. If I don´t react on this information I am quiete stupid for those informations have a concrete reference to my life. Needless to say, that sometimes I am stupid
It is like having a amazing, very useful new tool and not to work with it. Many years ago I have often used symbolism to decompose a (PL) dream, have list all found items and spended a lot of time watching them proudly with no consequence for my life.
Nowadays I watch and study my (PL) dreams carefully and the more I do so, the more new information, clarity and understanding I get.
I have read these basic information you have given us on Oseberg findings, I have had a very little knowledge of before.
And the dream itself must have been very inspiring. As it is great fun to decode symbolic message of dreams, would you be so kind to give us circumstances of dreaming, like the more or less exact date (year at least), the place you were at that moment, things you were dealing with, previous knowledge about vikings, historical interests and things like that.
I start interpreting dreams with finding origins of pictures, happenings and symbols as it is advised in Freud's Träumdeutung (Interpretation of dreams), and I am usually able to trace them back to things I had been going through not only this life, but the very near past. For example I had a dream where I remembered concrete name of a person, I tried to get back to its origins, and a few weeks later I found out it came from a name of a place which I read in a saga I had been reading just before the dream.
If I found these vital information, I continue interpretation with the Jungian method, searching for symbols and happenings analogous to mythological stories, and can be a help out of the current problem I am facing with.
As a history-lover no wonder I often have dreams in historical context, but they are usually connected with places and periods I am currently involved in, and they almost always contain some surrealistic element.
I am curious what makes one suspicious about a dream that it is a hidden memory, but until very recently I haven't even suppose dream can carry utilisable information about pre-existence as I regarded it as a privilege of visions (like for example what Saint Theresa had, although it was not past life related) or other kinds of mystical experience.
Hopefully we made another step towards the solution.
