Vivid Dreams
If you are dreaming vividly, I can definitely help you understand why this is happening to you. In a Vivid Dream Session which I host using Zoom, I will work through up to 5 important vivid dreams that you have experienced and interpret their meaning. I will also explain the various links between these dreams and that will help you further understand the reasons for why you are dreaming vividly.
Many people experience vivid dreams at various times in their life. When searching the internet for what causes vivid dreams, the majority of websites detail all the physical/environmental factors that can cause vivid dreams and completely exclude the possibility that something very important is taking place within the individual. Many vivid dreams are vivid and emotionally charged so that the dream can be remembered with as much detail as possible. The remembering then allows us to work through the themes and symbols within the dream so that we can understand its meaning and take potentially life changing action.
COMMON PHYSICAL / ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS VIVID DREAMS
The most common physical/environmental factors that can induce vivid dreams include:
· Medications
· Stress And Anxiety
Trauma Including PTSD
· Certain Sleep Disorders
· Alcohol And Drug Use
· Hallucinogens
· Certain Health Conditions
· Pregnancy
· Computer Gaming
If you experience vivid dreams and the above physical/environmental factors apply to your own life, that does not exclude these dreams from having significant importance for you. As a Dream Interpreter, I will be able to look through the themes and symbols in the dream(s) to help establish their meaning and importance to the individual.
VIVID DREAMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT GUIDANCE & WISDOM FOR THE DREAMER
Many people who are not affected by the physical/environmental factors listed above, experience vivid dreams at important times in their lives. Vivid dreams, where the dream itself is often extremely real and clear occur because something significant is occurring within the individual's life situation. The importance of the dream for the dreamer is the actual trigger that makes the dream clearer and more intense.
In Dream Analysis, we first look for the symbols and themes that occur in the vivid dream. In almost all cases, the symbols in vivid dreams will have a direct connection to the dreamer's own life-experience. As a Dream Analyst, I have studied Jungian Psychology and dream symbolism for over ten years and this study is vital in finding clear meaning in the vivid dreams that people experience.
Jungian Psychology has been studying dreams for over a hundred and twenty years. There are thousands of recorded dreams available for research and we study the role of vivid dreams and take note when they appear in people's lives.
POSITIVE VIVID DREAM EXPERIENCES
In my years’ working as a Dream Analyst, the percentage of positive vivid dream experiences compared to negative vivid dream experiences is essentially equal. Often positive vivid dreams have themes involving expansion, fulfilment, progress etc. Often the dreamer awakes with a feeling of euphoria or numinosity or an intense feeling of interconnectedness. These are important themes and coming to a deeper understanding of these themes allows for this positiveness to progress in a person's life.
NEGATIVE VIVID DREAM EXPERIENCES
Negative vivid dreams which include nightmares, unfortunately often happen in waves meaning a dreamer can experience them night after night for weeks, months or even years. I often receive emails from people who ask ‘why am I having vivid dreams every night?’ or ‘why do I have vivid nightmares all of a sudden?’. Vivid dreams & nightmares with dark, violent, intensely fearful themes take their toll on the dreamer over time. With the exception of extreme cases, medication is not the answer. Dreams are very accurate mirrors of what is really going on in the mind. Negative vivid dreams & nightmares reveal that the dreamer has work to do on their inner world, their mind/psyche. This work can involve healing past trauma, reconciling aspects of our lives that have proved challenging, exploring our life perspectives that are possibly harmful or too limiting. This inner-work is all part of my role as a Dream Interpreter & Dream Therapist.
