Since ancient times, people thought of deciphering the symbolic pictures seen in a dream to combine them into a common database, creating the so-called dream books – reference books that explain the meaning of what they saw in the manner of a dictionary. Dream interpretation has been around for a long time – the oldest dream book that has survived to this day was created in Ancient Egypt about 2 thousand years BC. e. The manuscript, known as the Chester-Beatty III Papyrus, is kept in the British Museum and contains the interpretation of two hundred dreams, as well as descriptions of magical rituals to protect against evil spirits.
In a new way, many projects about dreams were created, but not all of them received a general review. One of the most popular is DreamApp, this application presents a modern algorithm for analyzing dreams using artificial intelligence. There is also a library of symbols, it will definitely interest you and diversify your understanding of dreams in general. Articles on their website can be a great leisure activity, there is a lot of information about facts about dreams, tips and misconceptions.
This application is cross-platform, and will go to all devices.
How to decipher dreams
To understand your dream, you need to immerse yourself in yourself, once again scroll through the “film” of sleep and ask yourself specific questions: what does what I saw mean to me personally? Try to trust your subconscious mind and it will lead you to the right answer. Not all dreams should look for puzzles and riddles. Sometimes prophetic dreams come to us in an already deciphered form. Most often, acquaintances or strangers appear in a dream and tell us important information in plain text. We may also dream of numbers and symbols, which will be the answer to your question.
How to remember a dream in order to analyze it
If you do not understand the meaning of a dream, but you wake up intrigued by its content, it is worth keeping it in your memory so that you can later consider what it could mean. Somnologists recommend several life hacks that will help you remember the essence of sleep.
- Don’t move when you wake up. Even if you woke up to go to the toilet, or in the morning to get ready for work, lie still for a couple of minutes, scrolling through what you saw in your head. It is important that you remain in the same position in which you woke up. Any movement will wipe the dream from your memory, as if it never happened.
- Ask yourself some questions. Don’t move or talk for just a few minutes. Mentally ask yourself: “How do I feel?”, “Who was with me?”, “What did I do?” Leading questions will help to reproduce in memory the pictures seen and the emotions experienced.
- Write down what you see in DreamApp or look at the symbols to leave a big impression of your dream. If you saw something important and did not document the information, an interesting dream will disappear from your head before breakfast (the memory of the dream disappears after 90 seconds from the moment you wake up). Do not be lazy, you can also write down what you see in a notebook or notes.
