How To Analyze a Dream

Video Transcript

"Carmen Lynn: Hi, I'm Carmen Lynne with Expert Village. So we're going to be analyzing this dream that Lou has told us about so I'm going to refer to it as the railroad track dream. Lou, can you tell me what time of the night you usually have this dream? Lou: Well I go to bed about between ten and twelve. Let's say, I'm tossing and turning until I finally fall asleep and I know that I'm completely out and it probably occurs after I'm completely sleeping and I don't remember anything. So, I'm at that stage that I'm not restless and in a deep sleep. Carmen Lynn: So would you say it's in the middle of the night? Lou: Oh yes. Carmen Lynn: Middle of night. So, the middle of the night is the precognitive stage, isn't it? So you remember? Alright, so that was one thing that we've discovered now. It's in the precognitive stage. Now, the second thing I want to ask you is, what is the overriding emotion that you're experiencing in this dream? Lou: I get sweaty, and I get nervous and I get scared and basically it's very drawing to the point of not knowing the unknown kind of thing that scares me, and I jump. Carmen Lynn: How interesting. So the overriding emotion is one of fear. So we have fear, a kind of scared feeling. And this is just to point out that it is the emotion that you are experiencing in the dream which is most significant. Because if Lou were to have a dream such as this but he didn't feel scared, if he didn't, if he felt completely different then the dream would have a whole different meaning to him. So, and tomorrow we're going to be looking at some other aspects of the dream and how to analyze those."
