To decode our dreams, we must understand how the mind works. Our mind is comprised of conscious and unconscious mechanisms. The conscious mind houses our mental processes. It includes awareness, attention, perception, memory, imagination, language, and problem-solving skills. The unconscious mind overlaps with the conscious mind. It holds our body's automated functions, the nervous system, and psyche. This includes the ego, which houses our personality and instincts. All these processes influence our dreams. Thus, interpreting dreams accurately needs a personal approach to consider these unique factors. We are all tempted to take the easy way and buy a dictionary or bestiary containing the traditional meaning of dreams. However, these resources are often inaccurate because they were compiled hundreds of years ago. They reflect symbolism that is not accurate today. They most certainly cannot account for individual experiences in the modern world. Many things exist now that did not exist in the era when animism was man's way of understanding the world. There are more things and symbols than ever. It makes deciphering dreams and meanings challenging. We can make the process more accurate by using a method that includes our predilections. Let's define the things we will be looking for. Symbolism — Using an object, color, or image to stand for an idea or meaning beyond its literal sense. For example, a dove can represent peace. Typology — A way of grouping things that have common characteristics.
