There are different ways to analyze a dream and to understand the different meanings hidden beneath the surface. The two most popular methods that are used even today were created by two people who made it their life’s work to understand the inner workings of the sub conscious mind; Freud and Jung. Jung created the method of amplification and Freud the method of free association. In many ways these two methods are similar.
The method of amplification encourages people to write down the dreams that they have had and how that dream makes them feel. They will then compare those two things to symbols or characters that stood out in their dream and seemed important. You may find that you need to talk to the symbols and/or characters and ask them how they are related to you. The answers you receive may lead you to other symbols and/or characters in your dreams. If so then you must follow the same process.
The free association method is used to identify the major character or symbol that is in your dream. Once you have figured out which one it is you need to write it down so that it does not leave your mind and write down how it makes you feel and why you think it is important.
Once you have completed the dream analysis for each symbol/character in your dream you will have any easier time at trying to determine the meaning behind it. There are some dreams that have many different meanings so make sure that you analyze it thoroughly and completely.
