On dream interpretations;

I have a recurring dream that is worthy of blogging. It's always set on a familiar village pathway, an old dormitory hallway, and in the end of each of these subconscious episodes, there's a dog bite. You heard it, I get bitten by a dog. From what I can remember, these dreams have been recurring for more than a year now. When a recurring dream doesn't stop, it means you haven't addressed some unconscious conflict.

And recently, the dog-bite dream isn't recurring anymore. I can connect it to the fact that I was able to interpret the dream, took action to address the conflict, and because of that, I got rid of the recurring dream. Some friends and acquaintances would ask me to interpret their dream and expect that I gave out some cosmic revelation or premonition. Weird enough, dreams are internal to the person who dreamt them, so if you dreamt that your crush likes you too, it doesn't mean that, in reality, she likes you back. The best person to interpret one's dream is the dreamer-the one who dreamt it. So what I did is just to guide them on what this and that may mean, and what their subconscious mind is telling them.

A friend told me about a bad dream where a relative died. I told him that it was not something that he should be alarmed about. When he further described the dream, we figured it's because of an ending phase (specifics cannot be disclosed) that is about to happen in his life and that the said relative was involved in that phase. It wasn't recurring, so there was no conflict: it only means that he's subconscious mind was reminding him about the phase in his life that is about to close.

So how did I resolve the recurring dream about the dog, you may ask? I won't go into details of course, but I had some tough self-realization that I needed to do. When I came into this certain self-awareness, everything came into place and finally, the recurrence stopped, just like that. Start interpreting your dreams to learn more about yourself, well, at least at the subconscious level.
